Hakodate Area Sep Silver week Surfing trip

The last day of Sliver Week (long weekends), our dawn patrol started on Sumiyoshi Fishermens wharf.
It was a tiny break, too small to share the waves, so we moved on to Shikabe, which is one hour driving north-east.  Shikabe got a direct swell , swell size was good but was too straight and mushy and needed more tide.  We predicted that the best surfing time was around mid day.
So we drove back to Menagawa. There was fun size left breaks and sometimes sucky right breaks.

Yeah, surfed at Menagawa and on the way back to Sapporo , we checked Shikabe again.
Oh yeah!!! I haven't seen such a clean 2 -3ft breaks in Hokkaido.  No hesitation, we paddled out for fun.

Menagawa. 女那川  because of the cold water river, the water here has cool and warm patches.  After surfing, walking cross and dipping the river is so nice
