The Lowdown

Hey folks, Rusty here. Let's look at the outlook for Takegashima.

We've got a slow start this weekend, but the real heavy stuff comes in the second week. There's a big gap of small, ordinary conditions to get through first.

This Weekend (Sat 29 Aug - Sun 30 Aug)
Saturday is a total washout. The swell is a pathetic 0.7ft from the SSE with almost no energy, so don't bother.

Sunday morning offers a bit of hope. The swell bumps up to a knee-high 2ft from the S, but the period is a very short 7 seconds. The wind goes dead calm and glassy, so if you're desperate to get wet on a longboard, it'll be clean.

The Whole Week Ahead (Mon 1 Sep - Sat 6 Sep)
Monday (31 Aug) is more of the same with small, clean but weak 2ft waves.

Tuesday (1 Sep) and Wednesday (2 Sep) get a little more size, but the wind turns onshore and cross-shore, making for poor, bumpy conditions.

Thursday morning (3 Sep) has a 8ft SSE swell with strong energy, but it's coming with a light cross-onshore wind. It's just marginal.

The Real Story Begins - Friday 4 Sep
Finally, a standout. Friday morning is the pick of the first week. We get a solid 8ft SSE swell with a stiff offshore wind from the SSW at 12 mph. That's going to groom the reef beautifully. It's an excellent day for experienced surfers.

Saturday (5 Sep) and Sunday (6 Sep) are a mess. Onshore winds ruin the smaller swells.

The Second Week: The Big Boys Arrive
Monday morning (7 Sep) is a full-scale event. A massive 15ft ESE groundswell with a very long period of 11 seconds slams in. The wind is glassy – a true standout for expert surfers only. Monday afternoon sees it peak at a staggering 18ft!

Tuesday (8 Sep) and Wednesday (9 Sep) stay on the menu for experienced crews with 12ft swells and clean offshore winds.

The next clear standout is Sunday morning (13 Sep). Another huge 15ft groundswell from the SE with a 13-second period. Couple that with glassy conditions, and you have another exceptional day that’s strictly for experts.

To sum it up: if you're an expert, you'll be licking your lips. Friday morning (4 Sep) is your best bet for clean, powerful waves without the death-defying size of the following week. For the true hardcore crew, Monday morning (7 Sep) and Sunday morning (13 Sep) are the sessions to circle.

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.
