Tsu on Japan's Pacific and Sea of Japan coast is shaped by typhoon and northwest swells hitting the diverse beach and reef shoreline, producing hollow shore breaks and outer reefs that work across a variety of conditions. Conditions peak June through November (Pacific), with water at 10-28C and winds that often cooperate to groom the wave faces. The diverse Japanese energy of the area, combined with sushi and onsen culture, makes Tsu a compelling stop on any surf journey through Japan. With a relaxed atmosphere in and out of the water. Beyond the waves, visitors enjoy sushi and onsen culture and the authentic atmosphere of respectful lineup etiquette. The coastline around Tsu is scenic and inviting, with the kind of raw natural beauty that reminds you why surf travel is about more than just the waves. Whether you are chasing a specific swell or exploring Japan's coast with an open schedule, Tsu is a destination that delivers on every front.
