The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, lookin' at the charts for our little corner. Let's be straight with you: this 16-day window is a bit of a slow burner. The first few days, you're better off waxing your board and checking the dings, because there's hardly a ripple worth paddlin' for until we get into the back half of the run.

Takegashima, a consistent reef set-up, is our only real option here. The water temp is sittin' about average for this time of year, so you won't need the thickest wetsuit.

We kick off on Monday the 31st of August, but it's weak. We're talkin' knee-high, 2ft to 2ft waves from the South with a short period, and the combined energy is a measly 100. It's surfable, but mate, it's very ordinary. Wind is a light cross-off in the afternoon, but the swell just isn't there.

Tuesday the 1st of September is even worse – poor surf with a tiny cross-shore bump. Wednesday the 2nd through to the 5th of September is a whole lot of nothin' special. A bit of size pops up on Friday the 4th, with a 6ft Southerly swell and moderate energy (788), but the wind is cross-on, robbing it of any real quality. The weekend of the 5th and 6th is a write-off with onshore winds and building, messy swell.

Then the real action finally starts. We have a gap of a few days with no standout options, but hold on for the big one. The standout moment is shaping up for Friday the 11th of September. The morning is a bit wild with strong cross-off winds and a 12ft swell, but the afternoon is where it's at. We're talkin' a 15ft Southeasterly swell, period of 11 seconds, and a massive combined energy of 8578. The wind swings offshore from the Southwest, and the conditions are described as "moderate offshore and clean". This is a big, powerful groundswell for experts only – the size is serious, and this reef will be firing. For the experienced crew, this is the session to circle. The only catch is the swell direction is from the SE, while the optimum is from the East, but the size and clean wind make up for it.

After that, the swell drops but stays surfable. Sunday the 13th of September has a clean 5ft Southeasterly swell with glassy winds in the morning – a nice, fun-sized option for the smaller-wave crew. The final few days of the run, Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th, see another big pulse of energy, but it's plagued by cross-onshore winds and gets too big and messy to be a proper go-to.

So, bottom line: the first week-and-a-bit is a complete dud. The one true standout is that Friday afternoon on the 11th of September. It's a long-range call, so keep an eye on it, but that's the one that's got my heart pumpin'. Get your big-wave board ready.

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.
