The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's happening at Takegashima.

First up, it's been flat and slow. From the 28th through the 30th of August, there's basically nothing worth paddling out for. Just tiny, weak dribble. Save your energy.

Things finally start to move on the 31st. We get some waist-high swell, about 3 to 4 feet, but the wind is ugly and side-onshore. It’s surfable, but it’s not going to win any beauty contests. The energy is weak, reading about (230-297).

The real action kicks off on the 1st of September. The swell builds to a solid 6 feet by the afternoon, coming from the SSE with a 9-second period. The wind goes cross-offshore, cleaning it up, but with the combined energy hitting a heavy (1677), this is serious, expert-only stuff. The 2nd stays big, with waves 8 feet and holding, and the energy is still massive.

Now, here’s the one to circle on your calendar. The 3rd of September is the standout. Thursday morning we see a peak of 12 feet from the south with an 11-second period. The energy is absolutely pumping at (4949). Afternoon drops a bit to 10 feet, but it’s still huge. The wind stays cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean, but this is a beast. For experts only. The water temperature is about normal for the season.

The 4th keeps it going with a solid 8-foot swell and clean offshore winds by the afternoon. The energy is still very strong (1157-1302). Expect company, though – this spot can get busy, and with a swell like this, it will be packed.

The first half of the second week, from the 5th to the 8th, is a sustained run of quality. Waves range from 6 to 8 feet with light offshore or clean winds. The 7th is a beauty – clean, 8-foot SSE swell with light offshore breezes. The 9th starts with a howling 31 mph offshore wind that’s impossible to paddle into, but it drops for a clean, powerful 8-foot session in the afternoon.

As we head into the 10th, the swell drops to around 6 feet from the SE. The morning is a bit onshore, but the afternoon turns glassy. That’s a great, clean session if you want to dodge the peak hour crowds. The energy is moderate (674-724).

By the 11th and 12th, we’re winding down. Waves drop to 4 to 6 feet with mixed winds. The 12th morning is glassy with a 4-foot swell, but it's pretty weak.

So, for the advanced surfers, the period from September 1st to the 8th is your window, with the 3rd of September being the absolute best. Go get some.

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.
