The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s break it down for Takanabe over the next couple weeks. A slow start, but the finish line is a proper banger.
We kick off Tuesday the 8th with a messy 5ft easterly swell, short period, and a moderate north-northeast wind. Not your best bet. Wednesday the 9th is where we start seeing some potential: Wednesday morning we get offshore wind from the northwest at only 3 mph, cleaning up a 6ft southeast groundswell (8-second period). Combined energy is moderate at 416. Wednesday afternoon turns glassy, dropping to 5ft but still clean. That’s your first real chance for a fun paddle.
Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th bring light winds and glassy conditions – Friday morning is particularly glassy with 3ft waves – but the swell is small. Rideable for a beginner, but nothing to write home about. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th go flat with tiny 2ft to 2ft leftovers and a long 14-second period that just doesn’t have the power. Skip it.
Monday the 14th is a write-off with cross-shore winds. Tuesday the 15th morning is a bright spot: a clean 5ft groundswell from the ESE at 10 seconds with light offshore wind from the north-northwest. Combined energy is 511 (moderate). That’s a solid, clean day. Wednesday the 16th is glassy again in the afternoon with similar 4ft swell.
Things really start building over the weekend. Sunday the 20th morning offers a fun little 3ft SSW groundswell (11 seconds) with clean wind. But the standout – the one you’re waiting for – is Monday the 21st of September. That morning we’re looking at a solid 7ft groundswell from the ESE with a very long 16-second period. Combined energy hits 2700 (strong). Winds are glassy out of the north at 3 mph. This is powerful, clean, groundswell. It’s big – over 7ft – so it’s for experienced surfers only. The long period means it’ll be walling up nicely, but watch out for it to close out on the wrong tide.
Tuesday the 22nd is even bigger: 8ft to 10ft from the SE at the same 16-second period, with energy readings skyrocketing to 4655 (very strong). The morning is glassy. That’s huge and clean, but it’s pushing the limits. Wednesday the 23rd holds at 8ft with clean cross-offshore wind. Those last three days are the absolute best on offer – big, clean, powerful, and consistent. Big-wave board territory.
Water temp is about normal for this time of year, so a spring suit should do just fine.
Alright, that’s the truth of it. A slow first week, but the 21st, 22nd and 23rd are the gold. Be ready.
Rusty.

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.
