Table - best surf conditions forecast for Takanabe over the next 16 days.
Alright, grab a coffee and let’s talk Takanabe. The water’s sitting at 78°, which is about 3° cooler than normal for this time of year – you’ll feel that little chill.
The first real chance to get wet is Sunday the 12th, and it’s the one to circle. Sunday morning we’ve got 7ft of solid S swell, with a 13-second period – that’s proper groundswell. The wind is dead glass, and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. The wave energy is moderate (1720). It’s a standout. The only thing is, Takanabe is a beginner spot, and 7ft is way too big for the groms. For the crew that can handle it, this is the morning.
Sunday afternoon drops to 7ft with a cross-on wind, and it’s not as good. Monday the 13th sees the swell dropping to 5ft, but the wind is cross-on and the energy is weak (590). It’s marginal.
From Tuesday the 14th through to Monday the 20th, it’s a real dry spell. Mostly flat or tiny. Tuesday the 14th morning has 3ft of S swell and glassy conditions, but it’s weak (198 energy) and just ordinary. The rest of that week is well under 3ft, with poor conditions and low energy. A proper lull.
Then on Monday the 20th afternoon, the swell comes back with a vengeance. It jumps to 10ft by the afternoon, but the period is short at 8 seconds, and the wind is cross-on. The energy is moderate (2086). It’s a messy one.
The big stuff hits again from Tuesday the 21st through to Thursday the 24th, but it’s all too big. Tuesday the 21st morning has 13ft from the E with glassy wind, but that’s massive and only for experts. The energy is strong (6333). Tuesday afternoon hits 18ft with a 13-second period – that’s extreme. Wednesday the 22nd morning is the best of the big stuff: 8ft from the SSE with a 14-second period and glassy winds. The energy is moderate (4671), and it’s excellent for experienced surfers.
Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th mornings also have glassy conditions, but the swell is still 10ft and 7ft respectively. The 7ft on Friday the 24th is the most manageable of the late run.
So, the standout is Sunday the 12th morning for the glassy 7ft groundswell. If you’re an expert, Wednesday the 22nd morning is a solid second pick. The rest of the window is a mix of too small, too big, or blown out.

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.
