The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Takegashima over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first week and a half is pretty flat. We’re looking at tiny, weak waves with combined energy mostly under 170 (weak) right through to the end of July. The water temp is sitting at a toasty 83°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. It’s not totally un-surfable, but with waves barely reaching 1 ft, you’re gonna be doing more floating than riding. Thursday morning the 23rd is glassy, but the swell is just a tiny 1 ft from the SE. It’s honestly not worth paddling out for.

From the 25th through the 28th, the swell stays stubbornly small – 1 ft to 2 ft – but the wind is often glassy, which is nice. The combined energy creeps up a bit, hitting 170 (moderate) on the afternoon of the 27th, but the waves are still small and ordinary. The period is dropping from 16 seconds down to 10, so it’s not the cleanest shape either.

Then we hit a bit of a dry spell from the 29th of July through the 31st. The swell is tiny, the energy is back down in the 20s and 40s, and honestly, conditions are poor. Not much to get excited about.

Now, hold on to your board – because the 1st of August is where it starts to get interesting. Saturday morning we see a jump in swell to 3 ft from the ESE with a long 17-second period, and combined energy hits 440 (moderate). The wind is glassy. That’s a solid improvement. But the real standout is Saturday afternoon: 3 ft from the ESE, 16-second period, and combined energy of 596 (moderate). The wind is a light cross-off from the S. Conditions are looking very good. This is the pick of the whole forecast.

Sunday the 2nd gets bigger – 4 ft in the morning, 5 ft in the afternoon – but the wind turns onshore in the morning and cross-shore in the afternoon. The energy is strong (1081-1376), but the conditions are marginal. For experienced surfers, Monday the 3rd afternoon is a real gem: 5 ft from the E, 16-second period, glassy wind, and a combined energy of 1211 (strong). That’s powerful, clean, and excellent for those who know what they’re doing. Anything over 5 ft is getting into expert territory, so beginners should sit this one out.

The swell backs off a bit into Tuesday and Wednesday the 4th and 5th, with the 4th afternoon still offering a clean 3 ft from the E. After that, it fades back to small stuff for the rest of the week.

Bottom line: if you’re looking for the best session, aim for Saturday the 1st of August in the afternoon. Good swell, clean conditions, and solid energy. Monday the 3rd afternoon is a close second for the experienced crew. The rest of the window is either flat or average.

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.
