Mikuni Sunset Beach

Mikuni Sunset Beach is a WNW-facing beach break in Sakai, Fukui, Japan. It picks up swell from WSW to W and W to WNW and WNW to N, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 66% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the ESE: light winds or ESE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while WNW onshores chop it up.
