The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Takegashima.

We’re looking at a slow start. The first week or so is pretty flat, with only tiny, weak waves. The water temp is sitting at 83°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The swell energy is mostly in the low double digits, like 40 or 45 (weak energy), and the wave heights are only around 1ft to 2ft. It’s a bit of a tease. The wind is often glassy or light, especially on the Thursday and Friday mornings, but there just isn’t enough push to get excited about. The surf is described as "poor" or "very ordinary" through the end of July and into the first of August.

Now, things start to cook on Sunday, August 2nd. The swell picks up to 4ft in the morning, and 5ft by the afternoon, both from the ESE. The period is a solid 16 seconds, a nice long-period groundswell. The energy jumps into the three-digit range, hitting 689 in the morning and 947 in the afternoon (moderate wave energy). The wind is glassy in the morning, with a light breeze in the afternoon. This is the first real standout.

The peak of the action is on Monday, August 3rd, and Tuesday, August 4th. Monday morning the swell is 6ft, but it’s a bit cross-on. The real gem is Monday afternoon: 7ft of ESE swell with a 18-second period and a clean cross-off breeze. The energy is massive, at 2425 (strong wave energy). Tuesday morning is the absolute best: 7ft from the E, 18-second period, glassy conditions. The energy is 2879, the highest of the whole run. This is big, powerful, long-period groundswell. For a reef break like Takegashima, that’s perfect. The waves will be well-shaped, and the long gaps between sets make paddling out easier. But, because it’s over 7ft, this is strictly for experienced surfers.

The swell fades from Wednesday, August 5th, with the morning still holding 5ft and glassy conditions (energy 1368), dropping to 4ft in the afternoon. By Thursday, it’s back down to 2ft, and by Friday, we’re flat again.

The one true standout is Tuesday, August 4th morning at Takegashima. That’s the one to circle. Big, clean, powerful E swell with glassy conditions. The other big day is Monday afternoon, August 3rd, which is also excellent but with a light cross-off wind. The Saturday and Sunday before that are building, but the Monday and Tuesday are the peak. These are the only two days really worth chasing in this whole 16-day window. The rest is either tiny or not worth the paddle.

Rusty, signing off.

Information about the Takegashima Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Takegashima provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Takegashima can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Takegashima 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 (Takegashima) 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 Takegashima 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.

Takegashima is 33 km (20 miles) from Muroto. If you plan a holiday in Shikoku, look for hotels and other accommodation in Muroto. Muroto has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
