KiteOctober

38% of October days clear 12 kt for three daylight hours or more.

October sits outside the best months here. This report carries the record for October as it is, and no direction or session norm, because there is none to quote. Section 02 shows the year-by-year spread; section 06 shows which months to come instead.

Hour-by-hour & month-by-month wind

Rideable-day share by month, all three sports

Share of days with three or more daylight hours over each sport's threshold, counted from the record at 12 kt, Windsurf 13 kt and Wing 12 kt. Omaezaki 御前崎 (AMeDAS 50551) has been checked against the model at 12 kn only, so the 13 kn Windsurf figure is counted but not checked against it.

Turtles, patrols & the shore

Every hazard on the spot page, repeated here in full. Read this before you get wet.

Conditions change. Check local rules and conditions before you ride.

Emergencies at seaFor an incident or accident at sea, call 118, the Japan Coast Guard.
Turtle nesting groundThe loggerhead turtle and its nesting ground at Omaezaki are designated a national natural monument, and Omaezaki is the northern limit where the turtles come ashore to nest. Leave turtles and nests undisturbed.
Car parks and the beachCar break-ins happen at the coastal car parks: leave nothing on show. The local association works to stop vehicles being driven onto the beach.
Shore not describedNo source read describes rips, rocks or the shorebreak at Long Beach. Look at the water from the shore and ask the local riders before you launch.
Tsunami warningsWhen a tsunami warning or other disaster alert is issued, Nagisa no Koban handles the first response for beach users and passes the information on to them.
The shore at Long Beach

No source read describes the bottom, rocks, rips or the shorebreak at Long Beach. The city describes the Suruga Bay side as shallow with calmer waves. Look at the water from the shore and ask the local riders before you launch.

Patrols, turtles and the car parks

A local association runs beach patrols and a jet-ski rescue team that works with the Japan Coast Guard, and handles the first response for beach users when a tsunami warning is issued. The loggerhead turtle nesting ground is a national natural monument: leave turtles and nests undisturbed. Car break-ins happen at the coastal car parks. For an incident or accident at sea, call 118.

Sources, and their limits

Where each section of this report comes from. Record is measured. Modelled is computed by a formula because no measurement exists yet; it looks like data and is not. Written is WindChaser's editorial copy, compiled from the sources below.

§WhatSourceLimit
01Kite month sharesRecordCounted at 12 kt for three daylight hours from ecmwf_ifs at 9 km, cell 4.96 km from the spot, January 2017 to September 2026, 9 to 10 years a month, corrected by month and hour against the JMA Omaezaki station (AMeDAS 50551) 1.41 km away.
01Windsurf and Wing month sharesRecordCounted at 13 kt (Windsurf) and 12 kt (Wing) from the same series, by the same rule as the Kite share.
01DirectionWrittenThe most frequent wind direction at the Japan Meteorological Agency’s Omaezaki station, 1991 to 2020 normals: west from November to May, north-east in September and October. Surf guides describe the winter westerly. No rider source gives the directions that work at Long Beach itself.

The record

Hourly wind, 2017 to 2026, from ECMWF IFS HRES via Open-Meteo: a 9 km grid, read at the cell 5.0 km from the spot. It knows the wind over the cell, not the gust on the sand in front of you, and it knows the bearing, not the coastline: "side-onshore" is a rider's reading of the bearing. Each month is counted over nine to ten years.

What we could not source for Omaezaki

The wind directions that work at Long Beach, from a rider source. Any municipal or prefectural rule on windsurfing at Long Beach. Rips, rocks and the shorebreak at Long Beach from a rider source. A visitor windsurf school or hire. Crowds by month and competition dates. A water quality reading for Long Beach, and a first-hand reading of the local vibe. Tide tables. Surveyed launch points. A water temperature. Licensed photographs. Where any of these is missing above, the section says so rather than filling itself.

Conditions change. Check local rules and conditions before you ride.
