The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at the next couple of weeks at Takegashima.
Honestly, it starts off slow. Really slow. We're talking a long stretch from now through the first week of August where the surf is small and weak. The water is about 84°F, pretty normal for this time of year, so you won't be cold, but you'll be waiting.
The first time it might be worth a paddle is Wednesday morning, the 12th of August. You've got about 2ft of south swell, with the wind dead calm – glassy as a mirror. That's a big deal for a reef break like Takegashima. The energy is okay (105), but think small-wave fun, not anything to write home about.
After that, it gets frustrating again. From Thursday the 13th through the weekend, it's mostly 1ft to 2ft waves with onshore or cross-shore breezes. The energy drops right off into the weak range. Not worth the effort.
The next little bump happens Saturday morning the 15th. Another 3ft south swell, glassy again, with the energy climbing to 160. It's surfable, but still just ordinary, and expect some company out there on the reef.
Now, the second week is where the real hope lies. The standout period starts around Monday the 17th of August. That morning has a 2ft ESE swell with glassy winds and strong energy at 186. That’s a quality session for the advanced crew here, and the wind goes offshore by the afternoon.
The one to really mark on your calendar is Tuesday the 25th of August. We've got a 3ft SE swell pushing in, strong energy at 170, and glassy conditions. The period is 10 seconds, giving the reef some nice shape. The winds are light and clean. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it, but it’s got the best potential of the whole run.
So, bottom line: the first week is mostly a bust unless you’re itching for a tiny, glassy wave on the 12th or 15th. The second week, especially the 17th and the 25th of August, are your best shots for a real surf at Takegashima.
Rusty.

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.
