Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s settle in and have a proper look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks.

The big story is a serious pulse of energy that rolls in mid-month, but we’ve got a long, quiet spell to get through before it hits. The standout window is from Friday the 10th right through to Saturday the 11th, with some truly special conditions on offer for those who can handle it.

We’re starting off on Thursday the 9th with a solid 8ft to 10ft swell from the SSE, but conditions are only marginal. The wind is cross or cross-off, and the wave energy is in the very strong range (3506). It’s not the best call for a paddle just yet. The water temp is about average for this time of year.

Now, Friday the 10th is where it kicks off. The morning brings a glassy start with an 12ft swell from the south, a 17-second period, and wave energy that’s already powerful (6993). The wind is dead calm – glassy – and this is exceptional stuff for those with the skill. The afternoon gets even better with the same size and period, but the combined energy jumps to 7486. This is expert territory, and it’s absolutely clean.

Saturday the 11th morning is the absolute peak. We’re looking at a 13ft swell from the south, a long 17-second period, and the combined energy is massive at 10270. The wind is light and cross-off, making for clean, powerful lines. This is the best on offer – no question. It’s a reef break that demands respect. The swell direction (S) is nicely aligned with what this spot likes (E), and given the size and period, it’s going to be a freight train. Crowds are only sometimes an issue here, so it’s worth the paddle out if you’ve got the nerve. Be warned: at over 8ft, this is strictly for the experienced crew.

We then hit a long, frustrating gap. From Saturday afternoon through to about the 19th, it’s mostly flat or very small. Waves drop to knee-high or less, with low energy readings (mostly under 100) and poor conditions. You’ll be looking at a solid week of not much to ride.

Things start to stir again around Sunday the 19th with a 5ft swell, but it’s messy with cross-onshore winds and low energy (294). Not worth getting excited about.

By Monday the 20th, things improve. We’ve got clean 7ft swell in the morning with glassy wind, then 7ft in the afternoon with a clean, cross-off breeze. Combined energy is moderate (470 to 619). It’s a good, solid day for intermediate to advanced surfers.

Tuesday the 21st has another giant pulse, but be careful – the morning shows a massive 15ft swell from the SE, with a very long 14-second period. The combined energy is insane at 15605, and the report warns it’s predicted to be too big for this break. That’s a no-go for anyone but the most extreme, and even then, it might be more of a tow-in situation. The afternoon settles back to a still-heavy 12ft with clean conditions, which is more manageable for experts.

After that, Wednesday the 22nd offers a cleaner 7ft wave with glassy conditions in the morning. It’s a nice way to finish, but the real magic was that first weekend.

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.
