Oguchi Bay is a surf spot that offers a mix of rocky-bottomed rights along the rocks and a mellow beach break. The scene can vary quite a bit, but it generally features decent conditions for those looking to catch some waves. With its unique setting, Oguchi attracts surfers, especially when the swell is right. If you’re planning a trip, it’s a good idea to be aware of the tides and swell sizes before heading out.

The optimal swell direction for Oguchi is north, but it also handles northwest and northeast swells fairly well. When the swell is around 2ft. (approximately 0.6 meters), the waves usually break over uneven reef and sand. The right waves can offer long rides, especially when it's bigger, but you’ll need to make a steep take-off. It's important to note that this spot is more suited for experts, particularly on those rights. Good wind directions are from the southeast, and mid to high tide is usually the best time to surf here.

While Oguchi can serve up some decent waves, be cautious during low tide, as the rocks can become exposed and create hazardous conditions. If you’re experienced and enjoy exploring less crowded spots, Oguchi might just be worth your time.
