Kamakura & Shonan Surf Webcams
38 live cameras within 12 km of Kamakura — see the break live before you go. Free, no signup.
Kamakura was Japan's capital in the 12th century; today its coast — the Shonan shore running through Shichirigahama, Koshigoe and Katase toward Enoshima — is the home break of Tokyo surfing, reached by the Enoden line that rattles along the water. On a clear day Mt. Fuji stands over the bay to the west.
The wall mixes Japan's dense public feeds: prefectural and river-network cameras from the OpenCCTV rivergojp set, and a handful of SkylineWebcams feeds — including one named for Shichirigahama itself, the beach at the heart of the Shonan scene.
The wall — every camera, nearest first
The rule for this page is the rule for the whole family: every catalogue camera within 12 km of Kamakura’s centre (35.3192, 139.5469), ordered nearest first. Known for: Shichirigahama and the Shonan coast — the surf heartland an hour from Tokyo, under the old capital's hills.

Every card is the camera's real live feed: snapshot cards refresh about every 15 seconds, stream cards play live in the grid (a few at a time, the same budget the map tiles use) and in full when you open a camera. Feeds are provided by their operators and public sources; a camera whose stream has gone off air shows as unavailable rather than playing a recording.
What this wall actually shows
A wall feed is named Kamakura – Shichirigahama: the surf beach itself, not a road above it.
The rest of the wall is the coast plain behind the beach — the Ōmachi bridge and river feeds, and cameras across the bay toward Hayama and the Miura side.

How to check Kamakura before you go
- 1Start with the closest cameras in the wall above — the feeds nearest the centre are the ones that read the break's weather best.
- 2Read the sky and the surface, not a forecast: cloud cover, light, wind texture where a feed faces open ground or water, and how busy the town looks.
- 3Check the timestamp on any feed before trusting it — a paused camera and a calm morning can look alike.
- 4For swell height, period and a real surf forecast, use a dedicated surf report — WorldEye doesn't publish one. The camera is the visual half of the check; the report is the numbers half.
