Omaezaki Lighthouse

Omaezaki Lighthouse is an S-facing beach break in Omaezaki, Shizuoka, Japan. It picks up swell from ESE to SE and SE to SSE and SSE to WSW, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 45% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the N: light winds or N breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while S onshores chop it up.
