Shichirigahama

Reviewed 19 Oct 2026 · not observation-validated

Published sources reviewed by SWELLRADAR, not validation against measured breaking waves. Swell-from and wind-from references are independent qualitative ranking inputs, not surveyed optima. The inherited generic 0.6–3.0 m offshore-model height bands are unchanged: they are not measured local surf limits, safe learner ranges or wave-face conversions. Existing map pins remain approximate place markers, not surveyed takeoffs. Nearby places may share an offshore model cell without sharing local waves. Unknown tide response adds no phase bonus or preferred window. Check the actual section, hazards, access notices and personal ability from shore. Surfaround establishes the reef zone and broad swell/wind sectors. Surf Trip Japan's first-hand central-peak guide supplies S swell, N wind and reef/urchin context; those bearings are coarse references, not a promise of equal exposure at every peak. Its low-tide preference is not transferred to the whole zone, so tide scoring stays unverified. Blue Horizon confirms lessons are scheduled around waves, tide and wind. The tourism authority describes a coast unsuitable for ordinary bathing, not a blanket surfing prohibition. No published face height becomes an offshore limit or safe reef-depth rule.

• Surfaround · Shichirigahama surf guide

  Reef bottom and broad SE-to-W swell exposure with northerly offshore winds; not proof of identical peaks or universal beginner suitability

• Surf Trip Japan · first-hand central-peak guide

  Central reef, S swell, N wind, concentrated longboard crowds and urchins; its low-tide preference remains section-specific

• Blue Horizon · Shichirigahama surf school

  Local instructors choose lesson timing using waves, tide and wind; coaching is not an all-condition independent-surfing endorsement

• Kamakura Tourism Association · Shichirigahama coast

  Official coast identity and warning that the coastal setting is unsuitable for ordinary bathing, not a blanket surfing ban
