The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Takegashima over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a grim stretch for this spot. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window, but the first ten days or so are a write-off. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the wave quality just isn’t there. The combined swell energy is weak for most of it, barely cracking 100, and the water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 85°, which is a bit of a bummer for late summer.
The only real glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday the 15th. The morning is still messy with a risk of thunderstorms and a 5ft swell from the east (combined energy of 505), but the afternoon is where it’s at. The wind goes glassy, the swell drops to a clean 4ft from the east, and the data says expect good surf conditions. That’s your one standout. For an advanced reef break like Takegashima, those glassy conditions with a moderate east swell will offer some proper, clean lines. It won’t be huge, but it’s the only time the stars align.
Beyond that, the second week fades into tiny, weak swells with periods under 10 seconds. The combined energy drops to below 50, and it’s just not worth paddling out for. The glassy and offshore winds that show up on the 19th and 20th are a tease, but the swell is only 1.0ft to 1ft – not enough to push a reef break.
So, mark your calendar for Tuesday the 15th afternoon. That’s your only real shot. Everything else is a waiting game.
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.
