Winter Surfing

A short 35 minute drive from Niseko is the little coastal town of Minato. It is here that the Shiribetsu river meets the ocean and is a place for finding some small to medium waves when conditions are right.

There’s a protected area near the tetra pods and river mouth that is easy to paddle out to, or further up the beach towards the tunnel you can often find some decent lefts and rights breaking across the banks.

Check out our blog post about where to go and where to hire for your winter surfing adventure.
