The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a good look at what’s comin’ down the pipe for Takegashima.
It’s gonna be a bit of a slow burn for the first week, with a whole lot of nothin’ special on offer. We’ve got a few days of small, messy waves early on, with the wind mostly out of whack. The real standout, the one you’ve gotta circle on the calendar, is Monday the 7th of September. That morning, we’ll see some clean, glassy conditions with a 7.2ft swell from the ESE, and the energy is solid (1170). That’s the kind of day where the reef at Takegashima will really turn on – clean, punchy, and for the experienced crew. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sittin’ around 84.2°.
The second big highlight is Friday the 11th of September. The afternoon session is looking world-class for advanced surfers, with a clean 8.2ft swell from the SSE, nice cross-off wind, and the energy is pumping (1987). That’s a proper groundswell, period around 12 seconds, so it’ll have some real grunt.
The week in between, from the 2nd to the 6th, is mostly a write-off with poor conditions and onshore winds, swells up to 5.6ft but junked up. The 6th brings a big jump in size, with 9.8ft on Sunday afternoon, but it’s cross-on, so not the cleanest. After the 11th, the swell sticks around but the wind and rain get messy, making it a pick-and-choose game for the committed.
Takegashima is consistent, so when it’s good, it’s *really* good. But when it’s not, it’s a frustrating wait. The 7th and 11th are your golden tickets.

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.
