The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Takegashima.

This is a tricky one. We kick things off with poor surf conditions – just tiny 1ft swell from the SE with a period of 10 seconds and glassy conditions on Saturday morning, but honestly there’s no energy to get excited about (combined energy just 29). The water’s sitting at 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

We drift through the weekend and into Monday with some building swell but still marginal conditions – light onshore winds and the swell just not really getting its act together. By Tuesday afternoon, we start to see a bit more life with 4ft from the ESE, period jumping to 16 seconds, and combined energy hitting 579 – moderate energy starting to show. Still, winds are cross-on and the forecast’s a bit shaky.

Now, Wednesday and Thursday are where it starts to get interesting fast. By Wednesday afternoon, we’re looking at 5ft ESE swell with a 16-second period and energy of 1522 – that’s solid moderate energy. Winds are cross-shore, marginal call, but there’s potential.

The standout really comes into focus from Tuesday 4th August morning through to Thursday 6th August. On Tuesday afternoon, we’ve got 10ft swell from the ESE with an 18-second period – that’s a proper long-period groundswell – and combined energy of 7112, strong wave energy. Winds are gentle cross-shore, light chop. This is good, but it’s also big. At 10ft, this is advanced territory only, and with that long period, it could be a bit straight at the beach – but Takegashima is a reef, which handles that beautifully. Crowds are possible, so get there early.

Wednesday 5th August is the real jewel. Morning shows 15ft SE swell, 17-second period, combined energy of 12298 – that’s very strong energy – and glassy conditions with light offshore ENE wind at 6 mph. This is clean, powerful, and a serious session for experienced surfers. The direction is SE, which pairs nicely with the optimum E swell direction. By afternoon, it’s 16ft with similar conditions. This is top-tier stuff.

Thursday 6th August we hit 21ft SE swell – that’s enormous, and the forecast even says it’s too big for this break, with wind ramping up to 16 mph. That’s expert-only, and honestly might be messy even for them.

The rest of the window after that turns ugly. From Friday 7th August onward, it’s a long stretch of poor surf. Strong onshore winds, lumpy and choppy conditions, and the swell drops off fast. By late August 10th, we’re back to tiny 3ft and less. There’s a long gap of rubbish conditions through to the end of the 16-day window. No real second-week standouts worth mentioning.

So to sum it up: strong early potential, especially Wednesday 5th and Tuesday 4th afternoons, then it gets huge and messy, then flat. If you’re experienced and free that Wednesday morning, that’s the one to aim for.

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.
