Table - best surf conditions forecast for Takanabe over the next 16 days.
Right then, let's look at what's on offer for Takanabe.
We’ve got a massive pulse of southerly groundswell on the way, but it’s going to be way too powerful for this break for a few days. The water temp is sitting at 78°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want a spring suit.
The first real shot we get is Monday the 13th in the morning. It’s a much smaller 5ft of southerly swell, and the glassy conditions make it a decent option for a beginner-friendly wave, but the energy is weak (485). It’s inconsistent here, so don’t expect a ton of waves.
After that, it drops right off. From Monday afternoon through to Saturday the 20th, it’s mostly tiny or weak, with poor conditions. There’s a gap of almost no surf on offer.
The highlight of the whole 16 days is Sunday the 19th in the morning. We get a clean 8ft easterly groundswell with glassy winds – that’s excellent for experienced surfers only, as it’s over 8ft later that day. The period is a short 9 seconds, so not a classic groundswell, but the glassy surface will make for some clean walls if you’re up for a big wave. The combined energy is moderate (1075). Crowds are a possibility here, so get in early.
After that, Monday and Tuesday morning on the 21st still offer some fun, dropping from 7ft to 5ft easterly, still clean with glassy winds. It’s a promising few days to end the run but not as good as Sunday morning.
Keep in mind, this spot is inconsistent, so when the swell aligns, it’s worth the paddle.
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.
