The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk Takanabe.
Alright, it’s a bit of a rollercoaster for the next couple weeks. We’ve got some windows, but it’s not gonna be pumping every day. First real chance to get wet is this Monday morning. A 4ft easterly swell with a 9-second interval rolls in, moderate energy (437), and a north cross-offshore wind will keep the surface clean. It’s a peaky beach break, so expect some fun, rippable waves. Not a world beater but a solid start to the week.
Tuesday morning, the swell drops to 3ft from the south-southeast but the cross-off wind hangs around, so it stays tidy. The water temp is about normal for September, so no need for a steamer, a spring suit will do.
Now, the one to circle on the calendar is the morning of Wednesday the 16th. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the east-southeast, moderate energy (394), but the kicker is the wind: dead calm, glassy. That means perfect, silky-smooth conditions. The waves will be clean with no bumps. It’s an exposed beach so it’ll be a bit peaky, but with no wind, it’ll be your best chance for a fun, uncrowded session. Crowds are sometimes a thing here, so an early paddle might be smart.
Thursday the 17th, forget it. Wind swings around to the south-southwest and the energy drops to 186. Small, messy, not worth the walk.
There’s a dry spell from the 18th through the 20th, with tiny, weak swells and onshore winds. Then, on Monday the 21st, we get a bit of a revival. Afternoon glass-off with a 5ft east swell, short period at 7 seconds (207). The waves will be a bit fat and quick, but with a glassy surface they’ll be fun for a longboard or a fish.
For the more experienced crew, keep an eye on the afternoon of the 15th of September. The energy jumps to 1197, with a 6ft east swell at 10 seconds. That’s some serious power. The wind is light and cross, so there will be a bit of texture on the face, but for a strong paddler, those waves will have some push. That’s expert territory, though; too much for a beginner.
So, the verdict: not a classic run, but the glassy morning on the 16th is your best bet. Don't sleep on it.
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.
