Table - best surf conditions forecast for Takanabe over the next 16 days.
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s see what’s cookin’ at Takanabe over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, it’s a quiet stretch for this exposed beach break. The first decent window kicks off Monday July 13th morning, but even that’s a short-lived taste of good surf.
Monday morning is the real standout. We’ve got a 5ft south swell with a solid 11-second interval, so there’s some proper groundswell juice behind it – you can feel that combined energy reading of 493 (moderate). What makes it a gem is the glassy, dead calm wind, and the water temp sitting at 79°, though that’s about 3° cooler than average for this time of year. Expect clean, lined-up waves for the experienced guys, but even for a beginner spot, this is as good as it gets in this stretch.
After Monday morning, it drops off fast. Monday afternoon turns marginal with onshore wind, and from Tuesday the 14th right through to the morning of Sunday the 19th, it’s mostly small, weak, and ordinary – knee-high dribble with poor conditions. There’s a tiny pulse again on Sunday morning the 19th with a 3ft east-southeast swell, glassy wind, and cleaner conditions, but it’s still very average.
We then hit another flat spell through to the morning of Wednesday the 22nd, where a 3ft east swell appears, glassy, but the energy is still low (182). The next real highlight doesn’t show until Thursday the 23rd of July morning: a 3ft east swell, 11-second interval, glassy offshore wind, and combined energy of 259. That’s worth a paddle out for the better surfers – the longer period will make for some punchy waves, but on a beach break, expect a bit of straightness.
After that, it’s back to small, weak leftovers for the rest of the week. The final promising window is on Monday the 27th of July morning: a 4ft southeast swell, 11 seconds, clean cross-shore wind, and strong energy at 576. That’s the biggest swell of the forecast, but it’s still expert-only territory if it’s lining up right, and the cross-shore wind will keep the face a bit bumpy. Still, for the crew who know the bank, it’s the best on offer in the second week.
Overall, it’s a patchy outlook. Takanabe is inconsistent, and this forecast proves it. If you’re keen, lock in Monday the 13th morning or Thursday the 23rd morning. The rest is mostly a wait.

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.
