Typhoon #20, probably the last typhoon this season, brought the shiny surf day. It was a bit stormy weather on Saturday, but the storm wind blow all the cloud away and the perfect sky was upon the typhoon swell on Sunday.
The waves were about shoulder to head size. They were quite fast, hollow shore breaks. You have to be very quick to stand up on the board after taking off, otherwise the the rip would suck you up to the top of the wave and then smash you to the sandy bottom from your head.
I used a tripod and took photos with slow shutter ( 1/20 to 1/50 sec) to capture the movement.
Typhoon #4 brought the biggest wave of this year. The largest day was mostly closed out condition, but still fun to see the massive power of the waves. The next day was the day for all the surfers waiting for grand swell.
Typhoon number 4 hit Japanese coast on 7/14. Thogh most of the beach breaks were closed out, some reef breaks were good to surf. I enjoyed morning riding that was fun !
The waves were good. Quite hollow waves. You could make a little tube if you were lucky, otherwise bumped into the sandy bottom.
Colors.
It was the perfect weekend for surfers in Shounan. No wind, glassy wave of 3-4 feets. Check out more pictures on this page. ( I could't upload many pictures to vox, it just stops at first picture )
