The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s cooking for Takegashima over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, the first week is a write-off. We’re looking at a solid 5-day gap from Wednesday the 4th through Monday the 9th where the conditions are just plain ugly. Strong onshore winds, heavy rain, and a lot of lumpy, choppy mess. The swell is there, but it’s not surfable. On Sunday the 6th, the combined energy of all swells directed here hits a massive 1739, but with a 12 mph onshore wind and heavy rain, that’s a hard pass. It’s a classic case of the ocean being angry, not fun.

Things start to look up on Wednesday the 10th of September. We finally get a proper offshore wind out of the SW at 9 mph, cleaning up a 5ft SSE swell with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is a moderate 431, and with the gentle offshore breeze, this is the first real window of the forecast. Thursday the 11th keeps that same energy with a 4ft swell and offshore winds, but the energy drops to 227. It’s not going to be pumping, but it’ll be clean and rideable.

Now, the real standout is waiting for us in the second week. Mark your calendars for Tuesday the 15th of September. A massive, very long-period groundswell rolls in, hitting 13ft from the ESE with a period of 15 seconds. The combined energy is a staggering 6368 in the morning and 7256 in the afternoon. This is heavy, powerful water. The wind is light onshore, so it won’t be glassy, but the sheer size and energy will be something else. This is strictly for experts only—anything over 8ft is big, and 13ft is a serious beast.

The absolute best of the bunch comes on Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th. Wednesday morning: glassy conditions with a 7ft ESE swell, period of 12 seconds, and combined energy of 2461. That’s clean, powerful, and well-shaped. The wind is dead calm. Thursday is even better on paper, with glassy conditions all day, a 7ft swell, and a combined energy of 1923 in the morning and 2244 in the afternoon. The water is sitting at 84°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. If you’re an experienced surfer and you can score those two days, you’ll be in for a treat. Just remember, with a long-period swell like this, Takegashima is a reef break, so it should handle that energy well, but it’s for advanced crew only.

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.
