The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down Takegashima.
First week is dead. From Tuesday the 21st right through to the 30th, it’s flat to barely knee-high, with no energy to speak of. The combined energy is mostly under 100, which is just a whisper. Some mornings are glassy, some afternoons have light offshore breezes, but there’s no swell to ride. You’re just floating.
Thursday the 31st is still small. Then, on Saturday the 1st of August, a real southerly swell finally shows up: 7ft with a 9-second period, combined energy hitting 782. That’s a proper pulse. The morning is clean with light winds, and the swell direction is a good match for the break. It’s stand-up size for experienced surfers only—beginners stay out.
Sunday the 2nd of August is the big one. Swell holds at 8ft, still from the south, with a 10-second period and combined energy over 1000. That’s a lot of power. Light winds again in the morning keep it glassy. This is expert territory, but the quality is top-notch. Water temp is 82°F, right where it should be for this time of year.
Then it’s gone. Monday the 3rd of August drops back to tiny waves, and Tuesday the 4th brings strong north-northeast winds at 22 mph, trashing any chance of clean surf. The rest of the forecast is messy and flat.
So, the takeaway: the first week is a bust. The only real surf is on the 1st and 2nd of August, with solid, clean southerly swell for the experienced. That’s your window.
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.
