The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into the surf outlook for the one spot we’ve got on the cards: Takegashima.

The next week and a half is a real mixed bag. We’re starting off with a big, powerful swell, but the wind is cruel at the start, and the surf quality is poor. You’ll have to sit through a few dodgy days before the gears shift and the goods start rolling in. Once the wind plays nice, there’s some absolute magic on the horizon.

Thursday, August 6th kicks it off with a serious 16.4 ft swell from the SE with a long 15-second period. That’s a lot of energy in the water (9797), but it’s pretty much unsurfable right now thanks to a 15.5 mph cross-on easterly. The water is a warm 84.2°, and that’s a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. Waves will be big, messy, and wind-whipped – not the day.

Friday, August 7th sees the swell drop a little to 13.1 ft in the morning, still with an onshore wind, keeping the surf marginal and choppy. The afternoon drops to 11.5 ft, but the wind stays cross-on. It’s a write-off.

Saturday, August 8th is smaller at 6.6 ft, but the wind is still cross-on, making it a messy, choppy day. The afternoon sees a shift to a cross-shore breeze, but the swell is down to 6.2 ft and the energy is dropping (547). Not great.

Sunday, August 9th through Monday, August 10th are tiny. Swell drops to 3.3 ft – 3.6 ft, and the energy is weak (around 400). The morning of the 10th is still small, but the *afternoon* finally shows a flicker of hope. The wind turns light cross-offshore, and the wave comment says “clean.” At 3.3 ft from the S, it’s small, but it might be glassy enough to get a fun little wave.

Tuesday, August 11th is a refreshing change. The morning offers glassy conditions with a 3.9 ft S swell at 11 seconds. The wind is dead calm. It’s small, but it’s the cleanest we’ve seen so far. The afternoon flips to a light offshore, but the swell drops to 1.3 ft – not much to work with.

Wednesday, August 12th is tiny and glassy (2.6 ft). It’s pretty, but there’s no power.

Thursday, August 13th through Saturday, August 16th is a flat spell with wind issues. Swell stays under 3.3 ft most of the time, with onshore winds and poor surf. There’s a brief moment on Saturday afternoon, August 15th where it’s glassy with 2.6 ft from the ESE, but it’s still very small and ordinary.

Now, here’s the real standout. The run from Monday, August 17th through Thursday, August 20th is where you want to be. The swell picks up, the wind drops, and the quality is top shelf.

Monday, August 17th starts with a 5.6 ft ESE swell and a light cross-shore wind in the morning, but the afternoon is the real deal: 3.6 ft from the ESE with a clean cross-offshore breeze. The energy is building (411), and it’s rated as “good surf conditions.”

Tuesday, August 18th is the best of the whole run. The morning is glassy with a 6.9 ft ESE swell, and the afternoon kicks up to 6.2 ft with a clean cross-offshore wind. The energy is moderate (500) and the wave comment says “very good surf conditions.” That’s the day to call in sick.

Wednesday, August 19th is still magic. The morning is glassy at 5.2 ft, and the afternoon sees a 6.2 ft swell with a light cross-offshore breeze and a solid 905 energy reading. That’s a lot of push, and the waves will be clean and well-shaped.

Thursday, August 20th is glassy all day, with a 5.2 ft ESE swell in the morning and 4.9 ft in the afternoon. The energy is a steady 592-598, and the water is calm. Perfect conditions for a long session.

Friday, August 21st winds down a little. The morning is glassy at 3.9 ft, and the afternoon offers a gentle offshore breeze at 9.3 mph, with 3.3 ft clean waves. A solid way to finish the run.

The bottom line: The best surf is from Tuesday, August 18th through Thursday, August 20th, with clean, glassy conditions and a solid 4.9 ft to 6.9 ft ESE swell. The wind is offshore or calm,

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.
