The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's going on at Takegashima.

This is a bit of a slow burner. The next week and a half is all about small, weak waves and less-than-ideal conditions. It’s not a write-off, but you’ve got to pick your moments. After the 8th of September, things get very serious, very fast, but that big swell comes with some serious wind baggage.

Right now, on Sunday the 30th, it’s pretty flat. That 1ft glassy wave on the morning is barely a ripple (26 combined energy). The water is a touch warmer than normal at 84°F. It stays small through Monday and Tuesday, with waist-high, short-period slop. The best of this early period is probably the Thursday afternoon session on the 3rd of September. We’ve got a clean 3ft wave from the SSE, with a light offshore breeze and a combined energy of 228. It’s not going to blow your mind, but you can get a few.

Friday the 4th afternoon cleans up nicely too, with a moderate offshore wind and similar 3ft swell. Saturday the 5th afternoon is interesting: a tiny 2ft swell, but the period jumps to 17 seconds (255 combined energy). That’s pure groundswell, and on a reef setup like Takegashima, it could be surprisingly fun corners despite the small size. Glassy conditions on Saturday morning are a bonus for the early crew.

Then the 6th of September hits. The swell jumps to 6ft with a 15-second period, and the combined energy rockets up to 1190. This is the first sign of the real energy, but the wind is from the ESE, which is not ideal. It’s described as marginal, and that wind is a cross-onshore.

The real standout is the morning of the 8th of September. This is a big, powerful groundswell – 12ft from the SSE, with a 12-second period and a massive 6429 combined energy. The wind is glassy. This is exceptional for expert surfers only. It’s the only time in the window where everything snaps into place. The swell is huge, but the period is long, so on this reef, expect big, racy walls that could be proper. If you can handle it, that’s your session. The afternoon drops to a still heavy 8ft.

The rest of that week is a battle. From the 9th through the 12th of September, the swell stays in the 7ft to 8ft range, but the wind switches onshore and gets strong. The 11th sees fresh cross-onshore winds at 22 mph, making for lumpy, choppy, and poor conditions. By the 13th and 14th, the swell drops again, but the wind is still a messy onshore flow.

So, my honest take: for the next eight days, it’s a grovel for the patient. The clear standout is the morning of the 8th of September. Get that date locked in if you’re an experienced surfer. Everything else is either too small or too wind-affected.

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.
