Character
01Kisakihama is defined by open left + right peaks over shifting river-fed sandbars over shifting sand banks. The shape can change with swell angle, period and the active section, so the live score should always be paired with a visual check from shore.
Best setup
02E–SE typhoon swell · NE in winter and spring swell, w–sw offshore and all tides · active bank dependent form the profile baseline. SWELLRADAR treats 0.6–2.6 m as a working range, not a guarantee of breaking-wave size.
Lineup read
03Choose a peak that matches your experience and reassess it as tide and crowd change. Pay particular attention to rip currents, crowded holiday peaks, runoff after heavy rain. Local signs and advice always take priority.
