West Coast
Japan
This region is not as good as the pacific coast but it offers good conditions during a typhoon.
Autumn is really the time of year to surf this area. During typhoon season, especially in august, the day after a typhoon is as good as it will get until about october. During the middle of august, obon, large amounts of jellyfish will come into the area for about a week or so and then slowly dissappear.

Bullshits!!! - Where do you get your informations????Wintertime is just basicaly snow and freezing temps!Water temp must be around ten degs. Not much.The sand is snow covered and the wind freezing as hell.waves are really good, but as a local I'm really surprised that you don't mention the right spots.....As Toriihama and Hamazume...just to name a few

Shizuoka/hamamatsu water quality - Yeah, theres waves to be had around Hamamatsu, but watch out for the bad, bad, awful water quality. the water is alive with trash and dead shit, making a session in this toxic slick sick soup pretty much a waste of time. Head to Omaezaki for a better chance of clean waves - locals can be wankers, but the Brazillian guys are pretty cool.Enjoy!!

Oki Surfing re: - I was in oki for 6 months of a deployment with full use of a vehicle everyday. I would NEVER recommend surfing oki or even bringing a board, the waves are few and far between plus battling with the locals who have no idea what snaking and dropping in constitutes. All the locals are like little groms on longboards paddling for EVERY set wave and refuse to get off unless you pull them onto the beach and beat them within an inch of their life which happened a few times. Typhoon season is the only time these tools see swell.
