The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Takanabe for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a pretty solid window coming up. Monday the 10th of August is your standout. We’re seeing an east swell pumping in at 5 ft with a 13-second period, and the combined energy is sitting at a moderate 1030. The water’s sitting at 84°, which is about average for this time of year. The wind is glassy out of the NE at 3 mph, so conditions are going to be clean and lined up. This is excellent surf, but at 5 ft it’s getting a bit juicy for absolute beginners – more suited to experienced surfers.
Monday afternoon the wind swings east and picks up, turning a bit cross-onshore, so the quality drops off. Tuesday morning the 11th is still a good call though – another glassy morning with NNE wind, 4 ft east swell, 12-second period, and moderate energy (613). The waves are a bit smaller but still very clean.
After Tuesday, the swell eases and we hit a bit of a lull. Wednesday and Thursday mornings are glassy and surfable, but the waves are small – around 3 ft to 2 ft – and the energy drops to weak levels (398 down to 116). Nothing to get too excited about.
The second week looks pretty quiet overall. There’s a bump in swell on Saturday the 15th with 3 ft east swell and 11-second period, and glassy conditions in the morning – that’s probably the pick of the second week, but it’s still modest. The energy is moderate at 286. After that, the swell lingers around 2 ft to 3 ft, mostly with glassy mornings but the afternoons are often blown out.
Further out, around the 22nd of August, we see a shift in direction to a south swell, with 4 ft and 8-second period. The morning of the 22nd looks glassy, so it could be worth a paddle, but the period is short so the waves won’t have much push.
Overall, if you’re keen, make the most of Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th. After that, the surf is small and inconsistent, and good conditions are hard to find. Takanabe is an inconsistent spot, so this blank run isn’t totally unusual.
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.
