The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s comin’ up for the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but things start to pick up from Monday morning. The standout is gonna be Takanabe, and it’s the only spot in the mix for this region. The water is sitting at 83°F, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year – no major anomaly there.
Monday the 7th is where you wanna point the car. The morning session is the real gem. We’ve got a solid chest-to-head high easterly swell pushin’ 6ft, and with that cross-off north wind, it’s gonna be clean. Afternoon though, the wind swings onshore and the quality drops off, so get it early.
Tuesday the 8th drops back a bit, down to 3ft from the SSE but still clean in the morn with that cross-off breeze. It’s more of a cruiser wave.
Wednesday the 9th is an honest mention too – 4ft from the ESE, and the wind is dead glass in the morning. Absolutely no bump on the water. If you’re a beginner, the swell’s under 5ft, so it’s manageable, but just be aware it can be a little inconsistent here.
The period from Thursday the 10th through the weekend and into early next week is a mixed bag. There’s a bit of a funk settling in with some risk of t-storms and cross-onshore winds. The swell ebbs and flows between 2ft and 5ft but the wind just isn’t doing us any favors most days. Not worth paddling out for the slog.
Now, lookin’ ahead to the second week, there’s a flicker of life. Wednesday the 16th morning sees another glassy session with a 4ft ESE swell – clean and rideable. Then again on Monday the 21st morning, we’ve got a 5ft easterly with a cross-off breeze. That could be the best we see in that second window, but it’s a ways out, so treat it as promising but not set in stone.
Bottom line: Monday the 7th morning is your best bet. Clean, solid, and the most energy we’ll see. After that, pick your windows carefully.
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.
