The Lowdown

G'day, it's Rusty. Let's break down what Takanabe's got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a mixed bag, but there's some real gold in there. The water's a warm 84°, which is right where it should be for this time of year.

The first few days are a total washout. Nothing worth paddling out for until Tuesday morning, August 11th. That's the first real standout. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, and we've got a 4ft easterly swell with a 12-second period. That's a proper groundswell, and with the combined energy at 624 (moderate), it'll have some grunt. For a beginner-friendly spot like Takanabe, this is perfect. The glassy conditions will make for butter-smooth waves.

Then, on the morning of Saturday, August 15th, we get another beauty. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNE, which is about as clean as it gets. The swell is a consistent 4ft from the ENE, with a 10-second period. The energy is back up to 606 (moderate), and the conditions are described as "clean". This is a great morning, and you won't be fighting a crowd.

The real ripper, though, is Sunday morning, August 16th. We're looking at a solid 6ft easterly swell with a 12-second period, and a combined energy of 928 (moderate). The wind is glassy, dead calm. That's a big step up in size, so it's getting a bit too much for the beginners, but for the experienced crew, it's a dream. The long period will push those waves in nicely, and with no wind, it'll be a picture-perfect session.

Monday morning, August 17th, is another dose of the good stuff. A 5ft easterly swell, 13-second period, and glassy conditions. The energy is 872 (moderate). It's a very clean, solid day.

After that, the swell drops right off through the week, and by the 20th it's all small, weak, and choppy. There's a little glimmer on the morning of August 23rd with a 2ft easterly groundswell and a 15-second period, but it's tiny. The energy is only 202 (weak), so it's more of a longboard cruiser than a ripper, but the glassy wind will make it a pretty little session.

So, to wrap it up, the best bets are the Tuesday 11th morning for the clean, friendly waves, and the Sunday 16th morning for the bigger, more powerful groundswell. The stretch from the 11th to the 17th has a few absolute gems. The rest of the time is a bit of a dud. Get out there when the wind goes calm.

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.
