This site has live cameras set up at various breaks in Miyazaki. Click on the box that says "ライブカメラにGO!". This will open up a smaller window that has a list of spots on the left hand side. From top to bottom (and North to South), the spot names are "Okura-ga-Hama", "Kane-ga-Hama", "Ikura-ga-Hama", "Hitotsuba", "Aoshima", "Ume-ga-Hama", and "Koi-ga-Ura". Just click on the one you want to check. Once the live camera is up and running, you can use the buttons to control the camera! Make it go left, right, up, down, or zoom in and out. To get control, click on the red button that says "カメラを動かす" then a number will come up in the little box next to it that shows how many seconds you have to wait until you will be in charge of the show. Enjoy.

This site has predicted swell size and direction information. Go to the bottom of the first page and you'll find a table of different colored links. Click on the bottom right one - "波浪予想図". Another table will appear. This one has dates and times in the left column. Clicking on the "日本" link will show the predicted swell size and direction for the whole of Japan for that particular date and time. If you are only interested in southern Japan, click "南日本" instead.
