The Ibaraki coast is full of wind turbines, so you can bet there’ll always be a bit of wind around most days.
Best to get in early before the wind picks up. Quite a lot of long borders frequent this area, so if you’re on a shortboard, be prepared to wait for your waves. Onuki is a great break for beginners. Mostly beach breaks along this part of the coast, but there are also a few rare reef gems to be found if you’re keen to go looking for them.
