Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Takegashima. We're looking at a bit of a slow starter, but hold onto your board, because there's a serious pulse of energy coming our way in the middle of the run.

First up, the water's sitting at a warm 76.3°F, which is just about normal for this time of year, so no need for a thick suit.

The next few days are pretty quiet. Friday the 3rd and Saturday the 4th are mostly small and weak. There's a tiny 1.0ft swell from the ESE on Friday, but it's just not got any punch to it with combined energy of only 23. Saturday afternoon sees a bump up to 3.3ft from the SE, but with a short, weak period of 5 seconds, it's surfable but nothing to write home about. Sunday and Monday morning are the same story – small and weak.

Then, things start to get interesting. Monday the 6th afternoon, we see a pulse of 2.6ft swell with a much better 14-second period from the SE. The combined energy jumps to 289 (moderate), and with glassy conditions, this is where the week starts to look up. But that's just the appetizer.

Now, here's the standout. Tuesday the 7th afternoon through to Friday the 10th is where the magic happens. A serious groundswell from the SE lights up. Tuesday afternoon brings in 5.9ft at a long 17 seconds and combined energy of 2060. The wind is light and cross-off, keeping the faces clean. This is good, solid, powerful surf for experienced surfers.

But for the true highlight, look at Wednesday the 8th right through to Friday the 10th. We're talking a solid 9.8ft to 11.5ft swell from the SE with a long 16 to 17-second period. The combined energy is massive, peaking at a huge 7727 on Friday morning. The wind is light, glassy, and cross-off at times. This is serious, powerful, pumping reef break. This is not for the faint of heart or your average weekend warrior – this is excellent to exceptional conditions for expert surfers only. The wave quality is going to be incredible, and with that crowd rating of "sometimes", you might have a few others out, but it'll be well worth it.

After that big pulse, there's a sharp drop-off. Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th are mostly flat or tiny again. There's a small 3.3ft bump on Sunday afternoon from the S with a moderate 12-second period and 329 energy, but it's not a patch on what came before. From Monday the 13th onwards, it's back to small, weak surf with very poor conditions all the way through to the 18th. A few days with offshore wind from the SW on the 14th and 15th keep things clean, but the swell is just too small at 1.3ft to do anything with.

So, to sum it up: the first few days are a write-off, and the very end of the run is a write-off too. The one and only time to be in the water is from around Tuesday the 7th afternoon through to Friday the 10th of July. Wednesday the 8th and Thursday the 9th are your best bets for the biggest, cleanest, most powerful waves. Don't miss it.

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.
