The Lowdown

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

Right off the bat, we're looking at a pretty grim start. The first few days are a write-off, with nothing worth paddling out for. The forecast shows a bit of a swell on the 2nd, but it's messy with cross-onshore wind and the energy is weak (260). That's a hard pass. The 3rd has a moment of glassy conditions in the morning, but the swell is tiny at 3ft, and the energy is still low (187). Not enough to get excited about.

Things start to get a little more interesting, but the wind is a problem. From the 4th through the 9th, it's mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell gets bigger, but it's all blown out and junky. The 6th and 7th see some serious size, with swell hitting 12ft to 13ft, but the energy is massive (3112 and 7032) and the wind is just ruining it. That's not surf for anyone but the die-hards, and even then, it's gonna be a mess.

Now, there's a real glimmer of hope. The morning of the 10th looks like a proper window. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, and we've got a 6ft SE swell with a period of 10 seconds. The energy is moderate (759), and the conditions are described as "expect very good surf conditions." That's a solid session for a surfer who knows the reef, but it's an advanced break, so keep that in mind.

The real standout, the one you circle on the calendar, is the morning of the 11th of September. This is the one. The wind is glassy again, and we get a 10ft SE swell with a 9-second period. The energy is strong (1329), and the forecast is calling it "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." This is a big, powerful wave for the crew that knows what they're doing. If you're an expert, this is your morning. The afternoon is still good, but the wind flicks cross-on, so get it early.

The second week is a bit of a mixed bag. The 12th and 13th have some size but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making it tough. The 14th is similar, with a big 12ft E swell but messy wind.

Then, another promising window shows up on the 15th and 16th of September. The 15th has a huge 13ft SE swell with a long 14-second period and a clean, cross-offshore wind. The wave energy is through the roof (6641). This is a serious, powerful groundswell. For a reef break like Takegashima, that long period energy is going to produce some heavy, lined-up waves, but it's strictly for the experts. The 16th morning is smaller at 7ft but still clean, and the afternoon of the 16th looks excellent again with a 6ft ESE swell, clean cross-off wind, and energy at 1345. That's a great session.

We wrap up on the 17th of September with a classic glassy morning, a 3ft S swell, but a long 12-second period. The energy is moderate (670), and conditions are "expect very good surf conditions." A nice, clean, smaller day to finish the outlook.

So, to keep it simple: The big winner is the morning of the 11th of September. That's the one to get amped for. The 15th and 16th are also heavy hitters for the experienced crew. The 10th and 17th mornings are your smaller, cleaner options. The rest, you're better off doing something else.

Rusty, signing off.

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.
