About this Spot

Sekimon is a surf spot located in East Central Honshu, Japan, in the southern part of Aichi Prefecture.

Sekimon is a regional classic that breaks only sometimes, and it is most consistent when the swell is 5 feet or bigger. The length of the ride ranges from 50 to 150 meters. The spot is not usually crowded, with only a few surfers in the water, but it is important to respect the locals and check the surf etiquette, especially if the spot gets busy.
