Alright, Rusty here again, this time in feet and knots.
We’ve got a serious chunk of swell coming into Takegashima. This is a reef break, so it’s strictly for the advanced mob. The water is 77°, which is a touch cooler than normal for this time of year.
The absolute standout is Friday the 10th. A solid 12ft south swell with a very long 17-second period, packing massive energy (6964). Morning glass, which is a dream on a reef. This is deep-water groundswell, so expect long, powerful lines. It’s for experts only. The afternoon stays clean with a light cross-off breeze.
Saturday the 11th is the best of the whole run. The swell jumps to 13ft from the south, still with that 17-second period, and the energy is enormous (8486). The morning is clean with a light cross-off. This is a serious, heavy day. Only for the well-prepared. The afternoon goes dead, so hit it early.
After that, it’s a long dry spell. From Saturday afternoon all the way through to the 20th of July, there’s hardly a ripple. A few tiny, weak waves show up, but it’s junk.
On the 20th, we get a little 3ft bump, glassy in the morning, but it’s short-period and messy. The 21st is similar, with a bit more energy (137) but still ordinary.
The next real chance is the 22nd. The afternoon brings a 4ft east swell with a short period, but with 279 energy and clean, cross-off wind. It’s not the big stuff, but it’s a go.
Thursday the 23rd afternoon looks good. A 4ft east-southeast swell with a 12-second period, glassy conditions, and 607 energy. Clean, proper waves for the experienced crew.
The 24th Friday stays clean, with a 3ft south swell and cross-off winds in the afternoon offering some fun waves. The 25th Saturday looks a bit messy with cross-shore wind and a risk of storms.
So, the first two days are the real gems. The rest is a long, quiet wait for a few small windows.
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.
