Nagata Surf Forecast Guide

Nagata is a left pointbreak that reels over uneven reef, and it is strictly an experts-only wave when it turns on.

When It Works

Nagata only breaks a handful of days a year, so it is an inconsistent spot that rewards patience. It draws swell from southeast through south, with southeast (SE) the best match, and a big southeast typhoon swell is what really lights it up, delivering a truly outstanding left up to double overhead. The wave is usable from 0.6 m / 2 ft to 3.7 m / 12 ft.

Wind and Tide

Look for northeast (NE) offshore wind. Nagata can work through most of the tide, with a rising tide generally the better call.

Local Tips

This is a wave for confident experts only. On the rare days it breaks, those in the know turn up, so expect a moderately busy lineup when it works.
