Table - best surf conditions forecast for Takegashima over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Takegashima. This is a reef setup, strictly for advanced surfers. The water temp is sitting at 76°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want a light spring suit.
We’ve got a massive gap at the start of the period. The first real action kicks off on Wednesday the 8th of July, but it’s pretty average. The swell is already solid at 7ft from the SE, but the wind is cross, with light rain, so it’s a bit messy. Wait for Wednesday afternoon – that’s when it starts cleaning up. We get a nice SSE cross-off breeze, and the swell bumps up to 7ft from the SE with a very long 16-second period. The water is coming alive with a strong energy reading (3231). That’s clean and powerful.
Thursday the 9th keeps the run going. The morning is okay with an 8ft SSE swell, but the cross wind doesn’t help. Thursday afternoon is the real winner: a solid 10ft from the SSE, light cross-off wind, and glassy clean faces. This is proper heavy reef surfing, so only for those who know what they’re doing.
Now, the standout of the whole outlook hits on Friday the 10th of July. Friday afternoon is pure magic – a 13ft swell from the south with a very long 17-second period, cross-off breeze, and extreme wave energy (9281). That’s exceptional, heavy, and powerful, and it will be a sheet of glass. That is the session to circle.
Saturday the 11th morning still has a solid 13ft S swell, but the energy drops a little (9002). Saturday afternoon goes completely flat, with no swell. Sunday the 12th is a write-off – tiny 0.3ft to 0.7ft waves, barely a ripple.
There’s another promising window in the second week. From Monday the 21st of July, look at Tuesday the 22nd afternoon – 7ft from the SSE, but the wind is onshore from the NE, turning it messy. Wednesday the 23rd morning has a 7ft S swell with a 12-second period, but again, onshore wind spoils it. That late July block is just too wind-affected to get excited about; the conditions don’t line up.
Bottom line: the absolute best on offer is Friday the 10th of July afternoon. If you miss that, Thursday the 9th afternoon is your backup. The rest is either flat or blown out.
Stay safe out there.

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.
