Kaifu, in Tokushima, is probably the best place to score the quality rivermouth waves. It's about 45min from Cape Muroto, and is in the heart of the scenic Ana Quasi national coastal park. When it turns on it has heavy tubing rights in both the rivermouth and the neighbouring beach. When it's on, it's guaranteed busy, but especially so on Sundays. It can hold a decent sized swell and has been ridden up to 10-12ft (3-4m).

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.
