Powerful Winter Swells

The Japan Sea is known for its classic winter barrels and boy, can it get cold. Winter storms passing through the Japan Sea whip up some huge waves for the mad crew who like to brave the cold.

Summer, although not the best season for this area can sometimes bring swell. Beautiful scenery and clean water make this area a great place to visit even if there are no waves. Best season is from December – April. Snowfalls are common in the winter so bring your booties and gloves!
