Utsumi Beach

Utsumi Beach is a WSW-facing beach break in Minamichita, Aichi, Japan. It picks up swell from SE and SSE, and land, islands, reefs or shallow banks block about 95% of the directions it faces. Offshore wind here blows from the ENE: light winds or ENE breezes usually mean the cleanest surf, while WSW onshores chop it up.
