Torami Beach Surf Guide
Driving from Tokyo to Chiba, one of the first surf beaches is Torami Beach. While not one of the premier breaks on this surf-rich coast, it does offer certain advantages, like an open beach with wide swell exposure. More often than not, it has a rideable wave between the tetrapod jetties, and sometimes, it's as good as anywhere on the Chiba coast.
