The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaking out of the water for Takegashima over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be upfront – this stretch is a long, tough wait for something worthwhile.

The first decent shot we’re looking at is way out, not until the morning of Thursday, the 11th of September. Before that, it’s a rough run. From now through Wednesday the 10th, the conditions are a write-off. Strong onshore winds, heavy rain, and messy, choppy surf rule it out for a proper paddle. The swell energy is moderate to strong, but it’s getting torn apart by wind – not the kind of day you’d bother suiting up for.

On Thursday the 11th morning, things finally calm down. We’ve got a glassy 4ft SSE windswell with a short 8-second period. The combined energy is a moderate 206. For a reef break that needs an east swell to be at its best, the SSE direction isn't ideal, but the clean, glassy surface makes it surfable for an advanced crew. Crowds can be a factor here sometimes, so expect some company if it’s looking good. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing freaky to report.

Things get a bit more interesting on Sunday the 14th. After a few more mediocre days of onshore slop, Sunday morning kicks off glassy again. We’re looking at 3ft of SSE swell, but the period stretches to 9 seconds, giving it a bit more shape. The energy figure of 306 is moderate, and with the wind dead calm and the surface like a mirror, this is a real window of opportunity for a clean session on the reef.

Now, the true standout for the whole forecast is Thursday the 17th of September. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The afternoon session sees a clean 5ft SE groundswell rolling in with a long 14-second period. The combined energy is way up at 1230 (moderate-strong), and with a light cross-offshore breeze, the conditions for experienced surfers are genuinely excellent. This long period groundswell loves a reef setup like Takegashima – expect powerful, well-shaped waves, though the sets will be more spaced out. With the swell coming from the SE, it’s a great match for the optimum east direction. For advanced guys and gals, this is the session to target.

The run-up to the 18th looks marginal with strong energy and onshore wind, but that Thursday the 17th afternoon is the clear winner. Before that, Sunday the 14th morning offers a smaller, cleaner option if you’re itching for a paddle. The rest of the window is a write-off.

Stay patient, keep an eye on that Thursday the 17th, and I’ll catch you in the water.

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.
