The Lowdown

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

First up, the water temp is sitting at 79°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year. Not a massive shock, but you’ll want a spring suit for comfort.

The forecast is pretty quiet to start. We’ve got a long stretch of small, average surf through the middle of July. Tuesday morning on the 14th offers the best of the early window, with a small 3ft south swell and glassy conditions. The combined energy is weak (153) and the waves are ridable but ordinary. After that, it’s a string of days with tiny surf, mostly under 2ft, and a mix of light winds. The sessions are there, but nothing to get excited about.

There’s a notable gap of several days with no real standout sessions. The surf stays small and the wind is often onshore or cross-on, keeping conditions messy. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th are still flat and unremarkable.

Then, at the very end of the forecast, we get a flicker of life. The standout action is on Tuesday the 28th of July. The morning looks good with a 4ft southeast swell, glassy conditions, and moderate combined energy (419). The swell direction matches the optimum for the break, and the calm wind means clean, lined-up waves. The swell period is 11 seconds, so it’s got some decent push. Beginners should be fine with the size, but it’s a solid step up from the flat spell.

Wednesday the 29th morning also looks promising, with a 4ft south-southeast swell, glassy conditions, and stronger combined energy (426). The afternoon bumps up to 5ft, which is edging toward more serious territory for learners, but for the more experienced, it’s the best wave energy of the whole outlook. The wind is light onshore, though, so keep that in mind.

The crowd factor at Takanabe is “sometimes” busy, so don’t expect solitude, but it’s not a zoo either.

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.
