The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks for Takanabe. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, so let’s get into it.

The first wave worth mentioning comes in on Saturday morning, 5th September. There’s a 6ft swell from the ENE, but it’s pretty short period stuff at 8 seconds. The wind is cross-shore at 9 mph, and the water’s sitting at a warm 84°F, which is about average for this time of year. It’s a beginner spot, but it’s inconsistent, so don’t expect a ton of waves. The combined energy is moderate (551). Honestly, it’s a bit messy with a slight cross-chop, so it’s a maybe for a paddle.

The real standout is Sunday, 6th September. The swell pumps up to 10ft from the E, with a period of 9 to 10 seconds. The wind is cross-offshore at 15 to 18 mph, and the faces are clean. But here’s the thing – at 10ft, this is expert territory. The combined energy is very strong (2323), so there’s plenty of power. If you’re a seasoned surfer, this is the best on offer, but it’s strictly for the experienced crew.

Monday, 7th September, the swell is still solid at 8ft from the ENE, with a 10-second period. The wind is cross-offshore and clean, but the energy is still strong (1544). Again, this is a big wave day, and it’s best left to the experts. The morning is the best window here.

Tuesday, 8th September, sees a drop to 5ft from the E, with an 8-second period. The morning has light cross-offshore winds and clean conditions. The energy is moderate (331). This is a more manageable size for intermediate surfers, but the crowds can be an issue at this spot.

Wednesday, 9th September, is a glassy morning with a 4ft swell from the ESE, 8-second period. The wind is glassy, and the conditions are clean. The energy is moderate (262). This is a small, clean day for a longboard or a funboard.

After that, the surf fades significantly. There’s a gap of several days with only small, weak waves. From Thursday, 10th September, through to Sunday, 20th September, the swell hovers between 1.0ft and 5ft, with mostly short periods. The wind is often cross or onshore, and the energy is low (between 52 and 499). There are some glassy moments, like on Saturday, 12th September, with a 2ft, 15-second groundswell, and on Wednesday, 16th September, with a 3ft, 9-second swell and glassy conditions. But these are tiny, marginal days. The long-period swells (15 seconds) on the 12th and 13th are better suited to points or reefs, but at a beach break, they’ll likely break too straight.

The best bet is definitely Sunday, 6th September, for the big, clean, expert-level swell. For the average surfer, the glassy mornings on the 9th or 16th September offer the most pleasant, if small, sessions.

Stay safe out there, and don’t get caught inside on the big one.

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.
