Chokusen is a surf spot that sits snugly on a reef hugging a headland. It offers a pointbreak setup with some powerful walls and the potential for occasional cover-ups. While it can handle decent crowds due to easy parking, it has its pros and cons, with surf conditions that can vary greatly depending on the swell and wind direction.

To get the best out of Chokusen, aim for a stronger east swell with south to west winds. The spot works at a swell size of 3ft (about 0.9m) and tends to favor a southeast swell direction. You can see waves breaking over the uneven reef, rolling right, which makes it a better fit for expert surfers. The wave works well at all tide heights, be it low, mid, or high, providing a bit of flexibility for surfers looking to catch some quality rides.

If you are looking to avoid the crowd, there's a left deep in the bay that can be an alternative during typhoon conditions, which may lure some of the goofies away from Chokusen. Just be aware that this spot is definitely more suited to experienced surfers, so come prepared for some challenging conditions.
