The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu at Takegashima over the next couple of weeks.

First things first, we've got a bit of a slow start. The early days are mostly a write-off thanks to messy winds and rain, but hang tight because there's some serious action brewing later on. The standout window here is definitely the last few days of the period, around the 23rd and 24th of September. That's where the real juice is. For now, the water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year, nothing wild there.

Wednesday the 11th is where we get our first little glimpse of hope. Friday morning is looking glassy with a light 4ft swell from the SE, period around 8 seconds. It's small, but with the glassy conditions, it'll be clean for a morning cruise. The combined energy is weak though, only 219.

Friday afternoon and into Saturday stay glassy but the swell drops right off to under 3ft. Not worth rushing for, but if you're desperate for a paddle, it's there.

Now, the real story starts around Sunday the 20th. We see the swell start to build, with 8ft from the ESE on Sunday morning. The period is short—only 7 seconds—and there's a light cross-onshore wind, so it'll be a bit bumpy. Combined energy is moderate at 569.

Things get interesting from Monday the 21st. Monday morning brings a clean 5ft swell from the ESE with light offshore wind from the SW. That's a solid combo for a reef break like this, and the combined energy is a healthy 432. Worth a look.

But the real standout, the one you circle on the calendar, is Wednesday the 23rd and Thursday the 24th of September. We've got a proper groundswell arriving. On Wednesday morning, we're looking at a massive 10ft swell from the SSE with a very long period of 16 seconds. The combined energy is through the roof at 4526. This is expert territory all the way. The wind is light and variable, so conditions could be clean if the direction holds. By Wednesday afternoon, it's 12ft and the same long 16-second period, with energy hitting 5718. Thursday morning pushes even higher to 12ft and 6512 in energy. This is a serious, powerful swell. With that very long period, it'll be breaking hard and straight at beach breaks, but on a reef setup like Takegashima, it could turn on and offer some proper, lined-up waves. This is not for the faint of heart—experts only. It's a long-range call, so keep an eye on it, but the potential is huge.

So, to wrap it up: the early week is a wash, Friday the 11th gives you a tiny, clean window, but the real gold is the 23rd and 24th of September. That's the big one.

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.
