The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got the long-range look at Takegashima for you.

Right now, we’re in a bit of a flat spell, so don’t bother paddling out just yet. The first couple of days are barely a ripple. Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th are offering tiny swell around 1.3 to 1.6 ft from the SE, with combined energy readings barely cracking 100 – that’s weak stuff (45 to 81). Sure, the wind is light and glassy at times, but waves this small aren’t worth the wetsuit struggle.

There’s a stretch from the 25th through the 28th where the energy picks up a little, hitting a combined energy of 156 to 172, but we’re still stuck with 1.3 ft to 2 ft swell. The conditions are glassy, which is a plus, but honestly, it’s “surfable but ordinary” – not something I’d get excited about. The water temp is 83.1°F, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be cold.

You’re not going to like this, but from July 29th all the way through to August 2nd, it’s a proper drought. The combined energy drops to between 34 and 48 most days, and the “poor surf conditions” label tells the story. A few days have a little SE swell around 1.3 ft, but with onshore or cross-onshore wind on some of those afternoons, it’s just messy. That’s a solid 5-day gap with nothing worth chasing.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Mark your calendar for Tuesday, August 5th – that’s the standout. A clean 6.6 ft swell from the ESE pulses in on the morning, building to 7.2 ft by the afternoon, with a long period of 16 to 17 seconds. That’s proper groundswell; it’ll have real energy and shape. The combined energy rockets up to 2235-2457, which is strong. The wind is glassy in the morning and clean offshore in the afternoon. This is for experienced surfers only – over 5 ft is too much for beginners, and 7.2 ft will be all-time for a confident crew. The swell direction (ESE) is a slight angle off the optimum east direction listed in guidance, but it’s close enough, and the quality is rated excellent.

Wednesday, August 6th keeps the love rolling with 6.2 ft to 6.9 ft swell from the same ESE direction, still with 16-second periods and clean conditions. Combined energy is still well above 1900. It’s a solid second day for the advanced crowd.

After that, it fades. Thursday and Friday (August 7th and 8th) bring moderate onshore winds and the swell drops back below 2.6 ft, so chase the window on the 5th and 6th.

One heads-up: this is a reef break at Takegashima, and it’s advanced only. With that long-period groundswell (over 15 seconds), it’ll be fast and hollow. And because it’s consistent but crowds are marked as “sometimes”, expect a few locals out there for the good days.

Catch you 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.
