The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down the next couple of weeks at Takegashima. It’s a reef break that’s consistent, but it’s not for the faint of heart – advanced crew only, and it can get crowded sometimes, so be ready for that.
The first few days are a bit of a mixed bag. Sunday the 9th has some rideable swell at about 3ft from the ESE. The energy is moderate, around 451, and with the wind glassy, it’ll be clean. Monday the 10th looks good too, with similar 3ft swell from the south and light, glassy winds. It’s not big, but it’s clean and fun. Water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing crazy.
Now, here’s where it gets a little slow. From Tuesday the 11th through the middle of next week, things drop right off. We’re looking at a real lull for several days with barely any surf on offer. It’s a bit of a dead zone until we get to Saturday the 16th, when a bit more swell shows up, but it’s junky and cross-shore, so it’s not really inviting.
The One to Wait For
Okay, here’s the one you’ve been waiting for. Monday the 17th of August, Sunday morning, is the standout of this whole stretch. We’ve got a solid 6ft of swell rolling in from the east with a period of 11 seconds. The energy is strong, hitting a 916. And the wind? Dead calm, glassy. This is going to be the cleanest, most powerful surf of the period. This is the day to be out there. It’s a long-period groundswell, and Takegashima is a reef, so it should be firing. A real opportunity for the advanced surfers.
The rest of that week is still worth paddling out for. Monday afternoon, Tuesday the 18th, and even Wednesday the 19th see continued energy with chest to head-high waves, but the wind gets a bit more crossy, so it’s not going to be as perfect. The period drops a bit too, so it loses a little of that punch.
After that, the forecast gets more ordinary. The last week of the window, from the 20th onwards, drops off again. There’s surf, but it’s small, mostly under 3ft, and the conditions are just average. It’s not going to be worth getting too excited about. The long-range looks promising for the 17th, but remember, the further out we go, the less certain it is. Still, keep that day marked.

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.
