The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’ve got a solid run of swell hitting Takegashima, a heavy reef setup for advanced surfers only. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 83.8°, so you’re not fighting a cold one.
The real standout is Tuesday the 25th. Tuesday morning sees a 10ft SSE swell with a 14-second period – that’s a proper groundswell with serious energy (4834). It’s a big boy, well over 8ft, so this is strictly for the experts. The light cross-off breeze will keep things clean. That afternoon, it drops to a still hefty 8ft, also clean. That’s your best window, right there.
Wednesday the 26th morning is still worth a paddle. 6ft from the south at 12 seconds, with light cross-off wind. The energy is dropping but it’s still moderate (1295). Wednesday afternoon turns ordinary – the swell drops and the period gets shorter. Thursday through the weekend sees dribbly little waves, mostly under 4ft, with some glassy conditions here and there but nothing you’d skip work for.
Then there’s a big gap. From around the 29th of August through to the 8th of September, it’s mostly poor or marginal. A couple of days in early September pick up some size again but the wind is rubbish – strong cross-onshore and stormy. That 8ft on September 2nd is messy and lumpy. Kite surfers might get a kick out of it, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a no-go.
The 4th of September has a cleaner 5ft S swell with a nice 12-second period, but the energy is only moderate (630) and the quality is just marginal. Not a stand-out.
So, in short: hammer Tuesday the 25th if you’ve got the skills for a big, powerful reef. After that, it’s a long wait for anything decent.

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.
