Hey, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Takegashima in feet and degrees, same deal – slow start, then a monster run for the big-wave crew, then a few smaller windows.
The Early Days – Flat and Frustrating
From now through Sunday July 5th, it’s near flat. Swell heights are 1-2 ft from the SE, with short periods (8-10 seconds). Wave energy is weak (values between 20 and 38). Water temp is 76°, just a touch cooler than average (anomaly of -2°). Not worth getting wet.
Monday July 6th – First Signs of Life
Monday morning: 2 ft from the SE, but period jumps to 15 seconds – a long-period groundswell – and energy hits 125. Glassy conditions (SSW, 0 km/h). Surfable but ordinary. Monday afternoon: 3 ft from the SE, 14-second period, energy 232, glassy (ESE, 5 km/h). Good conditions, still small.
Tuesday July 7th – Excellent for Experienced
Tuesday morning: 4 ft from the SE, 18-second period (very long groundswell), energy 1325. Glassy, SSE winds at 3 km/h. Excellent for experienced surfers. Afternoon: 7 ft from the SE, 17-second period, energy 2755, clean cross-off winds (SSE, 10 km/h). Still excellent for experienced crew.
Wednesday July 8th & Thursday July 9th – Heavy Duty
Wednesday morning: 8 ft from the SE, 17-second period, energy 6037. Light cross-shore (SE, 10 km/h). Over 8 ft, so experts only. Thursday morning: 12 ft from the SSE, 16-second period, energy 6347, glassy – exceptional for experts. Thursday afternoon holds at 12 ft, SSE, 16 seconds, with light cross-shore.
Friday July 10th – THE STANDOUT
Friday morning: 13 ft from the S, 17-second period, energy 8382. Light cross-shore. Friday afternoon: 13 ft from the S, 17-second period, energy 8966, with clean cross-off winds (SSE, 10 km/h). This is exceptional for expert surfers. Crowds possible, but you’ll have plenty of room.
Saturday July 11th to Wednesday July 15th – Lull and Small Windows
Saturday flat. Sunday July 12th: 5-5 ft from the S, 12-second period, energy 563-760, glassy. Good. Monday July 13th afternoon: 4 ft from the S, 11-second period, energy 375, offshore winds (SSW, 10 km/h). Decent. Wednesday July 15th: 2-3 ft from the SE, 13-14 second period, energy 250-314, moderate offshore (SW, 20 km/h). Clean but small.
Thursday July 16th & Friday July 17th – Another Big Set
Thursday July 16th afternoon: 7 ft from the SE, 15-second period, energy 1994, glassy – excellent for experienced. Friday July 17th morning: 10 ft from the SE, 14-second period, energy 5692, clean cross-off. Afternoon: 13 ft from the SSE, 14-second period, energy 6040, gentle offshore (SSW, 15 km/h). Both exceptional for experts – promising but less certain this far out.
Saturday July 18th – Winding Down
5-7 ft from the SE/SSE, period dropping to 9 seconds, energy 388-637, glassy. Very good, but shorter period.
The Bottom Line
Friday July 10th is the call – 13 ft, S swell, clean cross-off winds. Expert-only gold. The second pulse around Friday July 17th is worth watching. For the rest, the small glassy days on Monday the 6th and Sunday the 12th are your best bet for a fun paddle.
Rusty out.

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.
