Yakutsu is a beach break that offers a relaxed vibe for surfers looking to catch some waves. This spot is particularly good when typhoons hit or during the winter months when the swells come from the SW to W directions. It’s not the most consistent spot out there, but it can be fun on the right day, especially with the beautiful sandy beach setting.

The optimal swell direction for Yakutsu is Southwest, but it can also handle swells coming from the South and Northwest. It works well with swell sizes starting at 1ft (0.3 meters) and can ramp up quite a bit. The waves here break over sand, creating nice beach breaks for both lefts and rights. For the best experience, aim for low to mid or high tide, and keep an eye on the wind—Southeast winds are preferable. This spot is also friendly for beginners, making it a great place for those who are just starting out.

While Yakutsu can get crowded at times, it scores a 5 for consistency, so it’s not always packed. Just be ready for some blown-out conditions when the wind doesn't cooperate. If you're looking for a chill spot to pass some time in the water, Yakutsu might just fit the bill on the right day!
