Spot guide
Okinawa is a WNW-facing reef break in Malibu Beach, Japan. It picks up swell from WSW and W and W to NW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 68% 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.
