Updates in  hr  min  s Forecast update imminent

Alright, let’s talk about what we’ve got for Takegashima. It’s looking like a slow burner that builds into something pretty special later on, though we’ve gotta be patient. We’re sitting in a bit of a lull right now, but the promise of some serious size and power later in the week is hard to ignore. The water temp is sitting at 76° here at Takegashima, which feels a notch cooler than what you’d expect for early July – that anomaly of -2° means it’s a little on the fresh side.

The surf doesn’t really start to get going until Monday afternoon (July 6th). That first pulse is a small, glassy 3 ft from the southeast, with a long 14-second period. It’s clean, but tiny. The combined energy is weak (305), so it’s more of a fin-tune session than anything to get excited about.

Tuesday morning (July 7th) shows some real promise with a pulse of 4 ft swell from the east-southeast, period jumping to 12 seconds, and glassy winds. The energy bumps up to a moderate level (838). This is the first proper look at it.

But the real standout for this whole forecast window is hands down Friday, July 10th through Saturday morning, July 11th. That’s where we see the big guns roll in. Friday morning (July 10th) we start seeing 11-12 ft from the south at 16 seconds, with a combined energy of 6320 – that’s strong. Friday afternoon it builds to a solid 13 ft from the south, same long period, and the energy is cranking at 7659. Saturday morning (July 11th) tops it out at 13 ft from the south with a very long 17-second period and an energy reading of 8661. The winds are light cross-shore, so it’s gonna be raw and powerful. This is expert territory all the way – 13 ft is well over the 8 ft mark, so only for the experienced crew. That long period groundswell (17 seconds) will be drawing lines, but on a reef like Takegashima, it’ll offer up some thick, dredging bowls.

Keep an eye on Sunday afternoon, July 19th. After a period of smaller, ordinary surf, we get a clean pulse of 7-8 ft from the east-southeast at 10 seconds, with light winds and a combined energy of 1426. The forecast flags it as excellent for experienced surfers.

And finally, Monday afternoon, July 20th brings another punchy upgrade: 7 ft from the east-southeast, glassy, with 1215 in energy. That one looks like a solid, rippable option.

Overall, there’s a big gap of very little after that Saturday morning pulse until things try to rebuild mid-month. Don’t chase the small stuff in between unless you’re desperate. The main event is definitely that Friday-Saturday window in the first week.

Be safe out there.

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.
