Kabune

Reviewed 24 Oct 2026 · not observation-validated

Published sources reviewed by SWELLRADAR, not validation against measured breaking waves. This follow-up revisits research holds without replacing the original twenty wave-36 profiles. Swell and wind references remain qualitative, not surveyed optima. The inherited 0.6–3.0 m offshore-model band remains unchanged and unvalidated: not a local surf limit, activation threshold, safe learner range or wave-face conversion. Approximate map pins are not surveyed takeoffs. Offshore samples do not resolve reef depth, entry routes or provider-snapped cells. Current conditions, notices and personal ability require a local check. Surfers' Ocean's exact Kabune section establishes rock reef, Advanced-and-above eligibility, long paddle and SSW swell. Its approximate embedded marker is about 0.17 km from the retained map pin, not a surveyed takeoff. Surfing In Japan independently describes the reef, long right/short left and competent-surfer requirement. Its published swell sector contains SSW; no continuous acceptance window, island-attenuation factor or height conversion is inferred. Its Kabune-specific N wind reference is encoded explicitly, not borrowed from Osaki's NNE wind or derived opposite the swell. Its low/incoming tide wording has not been independently established as a reproducible local optimum: no tide phase/motion reward, preferred window or adaptive reef fallback is added. The dated 2007 first-person session corroborates the named right reef and distinguishes adjacent breaks; its onshore session is not an ideal-wind rule, current crowd report or approved tetrapod entry. Historical water-quality scores, contests and guide size examples are not adopted as present safety, access or activation guarantees. The explicit six-kilometre SSW sea request is a geometric model-sampling choice, not measured reef bathymetry.

• Surfers' Ocean · exact Kabune section, Zushi/Hayama guide

  Original Kabune-specific rock reef, Advanced-and-above warning, demanding paddle, SSW swell and separate approximate map; regional and Osaki-specific wind/tide information is not transferred

• Surfing In Japan · original Kabune guide

  Independent named reef, long right/short left, marina setting, changing peak, competence warning, SSW-containing swell sector and explicit N wind; one-guide low/incoming tide is not a validated optimum

• Naminoru Life · original Kabune surf diary, 19 August 2007

  First-person session distinguishes Kabune from Osaki/Tamaishi and describes a powerful long-riding right reef; historical entry, crowd and onshore conditions are not current access or ideal-wind evidence
