The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down the Takanabe stretch. It’s a bit of a rough start, but there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.

The next few days are going to be a write-off. We’ve got a lot of wind and lumpy, cross-onshore junk in the water. The swell is there, but it’s messy and not doing us any favors. Friday afternoon kicks things off with a solid 18ft of SE swell and a ton of energy (9199), but the 19 mph E wind is just going to churn it all up into a close-out mess. Saturday holds similar cross-onshore conditions, just smaller at 10ft, and the energy drops to 2787. We’re just going to have to wait this one out. The wind eases off Sunday and Monday, but the surf stays poor to marginal with the swell dropping right down.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Come Tuesday the 11th, the wind finally switches to the north and goes glassy early. We're looking at a small, clean 4ft E swell, but it’s clean and that’s what counts. It’s not big, and it’s inconsistent, but the conditions are right. The water temp here is a warm 84°, which is about normal for this time of year.

The 12th is also glassy first thing with a tiny 3ft S swell. It’s small, but if you’re desperate for a slide, that’s your window. After that, we drop off again until the 15th. Saturday the 15th has a light cross-off wind and a clean-looking 3ft E swell. It’s not going to get the heart racing, but it’s surfable.

The real standout, though, is shaping up for Tuesday the 19th. We’ve got a 10ft E swell rolling in with light offshores and glassy conditions. This is the one to circle on the calendar. That’s going to be a proper, powerful east swell. But, a word of warning: at 10ft this is one for the experts only. The energy reading is strong (1382), so there’s plenty of push behind it. This is going to be a serious session.

Before that, the morning of Monday the 18th is looking at a decent 5ft E swell, but it’s not going to be clean. The 20th still has a solid 7ft E swell early on with glassy conditions, which could be a good, slightly more manageable follow-up session.

So, to keep it simple: the first week is mostly a battle with the wind for small, junky waves. The standout window is the morning of the 19th, with the 20th as a solid backup. Just remember, this is a beach break, so this long-period east swell might be better if it was hitting a point or reef. It could be a bit walled, but when it’s that big and clean, you make do.

Keep an eye on the forecasts, as it will likely change. For now, get some sleep, and be ready for that Tuesday morning.

Rusty, out.

Information about the Takanabe Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Takanabe provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Takanabe can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Takanabe surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Takanabe) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Takanabe may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
