Works for East to Southwest winds! Summer wind is usually light, fickle and southerly. Not much more than a sea breeze so big gear is a necessity. Better go diving in summer (around 10 knots). Winter rocks, northerly wind regularly blows and can reach 30 knots. Wind feels denser too. This is definitely the best time, starts off around mid October and carries on through March usually.

Get directions from

You will need to hire a car from the airport. From Naha Airport, go south on Route 331, heading toward Itoman. Cross the Hyakua Bridge, then turn left at the sign saying Miibaru. The road will come to a "T" turn right, then you'll come to a variety of signs, take a sharp left.

Rules:

None

There is plenty in Naha and around Okinawa city, but lots of bars are full of US military and get rowdy. Other bars won't let you in if you're a foreigner because they think all of us are military.
