Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Takanabe.

This stretch is a bit of a slow burner. We’ve got a few scattered days where things line up, but there are also some real flat spells and onshore junk to sit through. The first run of waves worth paddling out for hits Monday 13 July morning. We’ve got a clean, glassy morning with a 5 ft south swell, period around 11 seconds—that’s a decent groundswell with some push. The energy reading is 493 (moderate) and the wind is dead calm, so those waves will be clean and lined up. Good for beginners, but watch out—this spot can get a crowd sometimes.

After that, the week goes quiet. The swell drops fast, winds turn onshore, and from Tuesday afternoon all the way through to Friday, it’s mostly small and poor. A few mornings offer glass, but the swell is tiny—1 ft to 3 ft—and not worth the effort.

Now, there are a couple of standouts to keep an eye on. Saturday 18 July morning brings a bump in swell—5 ft from the ESE, period 12 seconds, and the energy jumps to 557 (moderate). It’s a cross-shore wind though, so expect a bit of texture on the face. Not perfect, but the best of a so-so run. Then, the real highlight is Tuesday 21 July morning. Clean glass again, 5 ft swell from the ESE, period 10 seconds, energy at 417. That’s the biggest swell of the period and it’s glassy—this is the morning to circle on your calendar. Good for intermediate surfers, maybe a bit too much for raw beginners. Wednesday 22 July morning is also worth a mention—3 ft, glassy, clean waves, but smaller.

After that, from Thursday 24 July onwards, it fades again. The last week is mostly tiny, poor, or onshore. A few glassy mornings with 2 ft to 3 ft, but honestly, you’d be scratching for a ride.

So to sum it up: Monday 13 July morning is a nice little intro, but the real standout is Tuesday 21 July morning with 5 ft clean ESE swell and glassy conditions. That’s your best shot. Saturday 18 July morning is a second option if you’re hungry, but it’s not as clean.

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.
