Most of the spots are mediocre beach breaks. At the N end of the Chiba peninsula is Choshi, a large fishing town with plenty of S facing beach breaks that work on typhoon swells. This is one of the few spots that can be crowd free, especially towards Shida. There are only a few access points to this powerful beach break that on W winds, high tide and a clean, moderate swell, can produce perfect barrels. These waves however can?t be described as ?clean? as this area is let down by the brown coloured water and industrial waste that frequently pollutes the beach.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
