The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at the waves at Takegashima.
Basically, the first week or so is pretty darn quiet. There’s a long dry spell from now until around the 20th of August, with mostly tiny surf, weak energy, and cross or cross-onshore winds making it choppy. Even when the wind goes glassy, the swell is just too small to get excited about.
The real standout is way out there on Tuesday, August 25th. That morning, we’ve got a solid 10-foot swell from the southeast, with a very long period of 16 seconds. That’s powerful groundswell – the combined energy reading is 4957, which is huge. The wind is glassy, so it’ll be clean. This is strictly for expert surfers though – 10-foot waves on a reef break demand respect. The long period means longer waits between sets, but the waves should hold up well. Water temp is about average for the season.
After that, the swell drops off fast, so make sure you’re on it for that Tuesday session.

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.
