Surf Secret Spot 5

Secret Spot 5 - Onjuku, Japan This surf spot features a rocky reef with waves breaking both right and left over flat rocks. It is accessible within a 5-minute walk from the monument to Mexico, where surfers can paddle out near three buoys. Ideal conditions occur with a south-west swell and east to north-east winds, but caution is advised due to shallow areas at low tide. While the spot may not often reach its full potential, it can deliver excellent waves during significant swells. The atmosphere can be lively, with occasional encounters among foreign surfers, which may lead to crowding. Surfers should be wary of urchins and rocks, especially when navigating the shallow reef. Despite the potential for conflict among surfers, the spot remains relatively empty during the week, offering a unique experience for those willing to explore its hidden charm.
