Surf Sakawa Rivermouth

Sakawa Rivermouth - Odawara, Japan Sakawa Rivermouth features a powerful, hollow wave breaking both left and right over a sandy bottom with rocks. This spot is located in Odawara, Kanagawa Prefecture, approximately 53 km west of Yokohama. It is accessible via a short walk from the nearest train station or a drive through local streets, leading directly to the beach. This spot is best during the summer and early fall, particularly when typhoons generate sizable swells from the South or South Southwest. While it can be crowded on smaller days, the lineup thins significantly when the waves exceed 2.4 meters, making it a serious challenge for experienced surfers. The right break resembles Off the Wall, offering quick barrels, while the left provides more maneuverability. Be cautious of rips, undertow, and localism, and always respect the local surfers. With its relative isolation from the more popular Shonan Coast, Sakawa Rivermouth can deliver epic sessions for those willing to seek it out.
