Shioirigawakakou is a surf spot located past the Onga River, featuring a long and shallow beach that can be a decent choice for surfers looking for a laid-back session. This spot typically sees fewer crowds, making it a nice getaway for those wanting some space while they ride the waves. It's not the most famous place around, but it has its own unique vibe.
The waves here tend to be on the weaker side, which can make it a good option for beginners. You can expect the swell to break over sand, and it works best with swell sizes starting at about 1 ft (0.3 m). The most optimal swell direction is Northwest, with decent waves coming from the West and Northeast as well. Surfers can enjoy both left and right waves, depending on the conditions. Low, mid, and high tides can all produce rideable waves here, especially when the wind is coming from the Southeast.
Access to the beach is pretty simple thanks to the green cycle track that runs along the coast, giving you plenty of room to explore the area. Since it’s a beachbreak, you might find the waves breaking cleanly even on small swells, allowing for some fun sessions without needing massive conditions. It’s an ideal place to practice and improve your skills without the pressure of more advanced surf spots.
