The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again, breakin’ it down in feet and miles for you.

So, Takegashima is in a quiet spell right now. The water temp is about normal for the season. From Sunday the 26th through the end of July, the swell is tiny—only 1ft to 2ft, coming out of the SE. The combined energy is weak, mostly in the 140s to 170s (moderate energy) but dropping off fast. The wind is glassy in the mornings, but the waves are just too small. Monday the 27th has a little clean cross-off wind in the afternoon, but still, the swell is barely there. Tuesday the 28th is similar. There’s a big gap from Wednesday the 29th to the end of the first week where the scores are zero—really poor, with energy dropping as low as 23 (weak). It’s a dead stretch.

Then we see a pulse building. Monday the 3rd of August: the swell hits 4ft from the ESE, with a long period of 16 seconds—that’s groundswell energy. The combined energy is 576 (moderate), but the wind is light cross-shore, and it’s still a bit messy. The real standout is Tuesday the 4th of August. Morning glassy conditions with a 7ft swell from the ESE, period of 17 seconds—very long-period groundswell. The combined energy is 2563 (strong), and the afternoon stays clean with cross-off wind. This is the best on offer. It’s a reef break, consistent, and the swell direction matches the optimum (E). Crowds are possible sometimes. This is for experienced surfers—7ft is solid, and with that long period, it’ll be powerful and lined up.

Wednesday the 5th of August: the swell hits 10ft, but the wind turns onshore from the NNE at 15 mph, making it less appealing. The energy is huge (4600, strong). Thursday the 6th gets even bigger: 12ft to 13ft, with energy hitting 7420 to 7864 (very strong). The wind is cross-shore and light, so it’s more manageable, but at 13ft, this is strictly for experts. The period is 17 seconds. Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th hold that size, peaking at 15ft (energy 10394, very strong). The wind is light cross-shore, but the sheer size makes it a beast. Only for the most experienced. By Sunday the 9th, the swell drops to 7ft, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s less clean. It fades out by Monday the 10th.

So, the standout is Tuesday the 4th of August. That’s the cleanest, most manageable size with glassy morning conditions and that long-period ESE groundswell. If you’re an experienced surfer, that’s your window. The rest of the big stuff is either too wild or too windy.

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.
