The 3 areas, Shonan (Shounan, or Sagami Bay), north Chiba and south Chiba receive all the surfers from Tokyo. Due to its popularity, hipness and ease of access from Tokyo, Shonan is heavily crowded almost throughout the year, while swells are usually much smaller than in north and south Chiba. Both north and south Chiba spots can pick swell until 6 to 8 ft, while north can sometimes be as crowded as Shonan and south always remains less crowded due to its distance from Tokyo. Typhoon season (from mid-August to early mid-October) usually receives the biggest swells in these 3 areas.
