Sunabe Seawall

Urban vibe meets tropical reef charm with consistent punchy waves.

The Sunabe Seawall area in Okinawa offers a distinctive surfing experience, renowned for its vibrant reef breaks and crystal-clear waters. The swells here are consistent, with powerful waves that roll in from the Pacific. The warm tropical waters provide a refreshing contrast to Japan’s colder surf spots, but the strong currents and rocky bottom require caution. The stunning backdrop of rugged coastlines and the Okinawan islands' natural beauty, combined with the area’s laid-back atmosphere, make Sunabe a must-visit destination for surfers looking to enjoy both great waves and a unique cultural environment.
