The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's comin' down for Takegashima.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with ya—this forecast is a slow burn. The first week and a bit is mostly gonna leave you staring at a flat lake. We're talkin' a big gap from now right through until the end of next week. There's a little pulse on the 18th with some glassy 2ft waves from the ESE, but the combined energy is weak (105) and it's just ordinary. Don't get your hopes up. The water temp is sittin' around 83°, which is just about normal for this time of year.
The real story, the one that gets the heart pumpin', starts on Monday the 24th. That's when the Pacific wakes up. We get a strong, long-period groundswell from the SE rollin' in. Monday afternoon sees 5ft waves with a 17-second period and the energy jumps to a solid 1367. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so it'll be clean. This is a good one for experienced surfers.
But the standout—the one you clear your calendar for—is Tuesday the 25th. The swell peaks with a solid 10ft on the Tuesday morning, with a 16-second period from the SE. The energy is massive at 3771. And get this: the wind is glassy out of the ENE. Absolutely pristine conditions for an advanced, exposed reef break. This is gonna be a serious session. Takegashima is a consistent spot, but for a wave this size and quality, it will be worth the wait. Tuesday afternoon there's still a solid 8ft with perfect cross-offshore wind. Wednesday the 26th is still pumping with clean 6ft waves, but the morning has a bit of cross-onshore breeze.
The end of the run gets messy. Late on the 28th and into the 29th, strong onshore winds in the 22-31 mph range will trash the surface. The 30th has decent offshore wind, but the swell has dropped right back to 1ft with only 150 energy. The whole run is for advanced surfers only, especially that Tuesday, as anything over 8ft is expert territory.
Stay patient, get that Tuesday the 25th locked in, and I'll see you in the water.

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.
