Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down Takanabe in feet and temps we all know.

The water’s sitting at 78°, right where it should be for this time of year. Sunday morning starts weak – a 3ft swell from the SSW, period of 5 seconds, and energy barely there at 63. It’s surfable but ordinary. Sunday afternoon drops to 1ft, flat and glassy, but not worth paddling out.

Monday is a little better. Afternoon brings a clean 2ft SE swell with a 17-second period and moderate energy of 303. The wind is cross-off, so it’s tidy, but still small.

Tuesday the 7th is the first real standout. Morning is glassy, with a 5ft SE swell, 14-second period, and energy of 675. The wind is offshore from the ENE at just 3 mph. That’s clean, beginner-friendly, and has some long-period grunt. Grab it early. The afternoon holds at 5ft, but the wind turns cross-on.

Wednesday the 8th sees the swell jump to 8ft in the morning, with a very long period of 18 seconds and energy of 4223 – that’s powerful. But the wind is onshore, and the notes say it’s too big for this break. By afternoon it’s 10ft, cross-on, and only for experts. Thursday and Friday are even bigger: 12ft to 15ft, with energy numbers over 10,000. That’s just too much. The break can’t handle it.

It settles nicely by Sunday the 12th morning. Glassy, 6ft from the south, 12-second period, and energy of 975. Dead calm, clean, perfect size. That’s a session to remember.

Monday the 13th morning is still clean – 4ft, 11-second period, glassy. Good for a relaxed paddle. After that, the week is small, 3ft to 3ft, with mostly onshore or cross winds.

Another small pulse on Friday the 17th: 5ft to 6ft from the SSE, period of 10-11 seconds, energy around 690-962. Wind is cross-shore, so there’s some shape, but it’s not glassy.

Best days: Tuesday the 7th morning for the clean 5ft SE swell, and Sunday the 12th morning for the glassy 6ft south swell. Those are the ones.

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.

Takanabe is 4 km (2 miles) from Takanabe. If you plan a holiday in Kyu Shu, look for hotels and other accommodation in Takanabe. Takanabe has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
