The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Takegashima.
Right off the bat, it's a slow start. We're looking at a solid week of pretty ordinary conditions. From Thursday the 10th through to about Wednesday the 16th, it's mostly small, weak, and messy. There are a couple of mornings where it goes glassy, but the swell is tiny and short-period, so you're not missing much. The combined energy is low, mostly between 83 and 193, which is weak. Not much to get excited about.
Now, things start to look a bit more interesting from Monday the 14th afternoon. We see the combined energy jump to 302, which is moderate, with a 4ft swell from the SE at 9 seconds. The wind goes light cross-offshore, making for clean conditions. That's a solid session. Tuesday the 15th morning is even better – glassy conditions with a 4ft ESE swell, the energy is 234, and it's clean. That's a good, clean window. Wednesday the 16th morning is also glassy but the swell drops back to 3ft.
The real standout, and I mean a true beast, is the window starting Sunday the 20th. This is for the experts only. We've got a very long-period groundswell arriving. Sunday afternoon sees a 10ft SE swell with a period of 17 seconds, and the combined energy is a massive 6179. Monday the 21st is even bigger, with a 15ft SSE swell at 17 seconds, energy hitting 11362. By Tuesday the 22nd, we're looking at a 25ft to 30ft SSE swell with a 19-second period, and energy readings of 39352 and 59875. That is an enormous, powerful, and very long-period swell. However, the wind is cross-onshore, so it won't be perfect, and the forecast is clear that it's simply too big for this break. This is a big, heavy, dangerous setup. For the average punter, stay on the beach.
After that, it gets messy again. Wednesday the 23rd sees gale-force NNW winds that will completely blow everything out, and the swell drops rapidly. Thursday the 24th is small and onshore again.
So, the pick of the entire period is Tuesday the 15th morning. It's not the biggest, but it's the cleanest, most accessible surf of the first week. The swell is 4ft from the ESE, period 9 seconds, and it's glassy. For the second week, the only thing that stands out is that huge, dangerous swell from the 20th to the 22nd, but it's too big for this break. Keep your eyes on the forecasts, because things can change.
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.
