The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checkin' in from Takegashima.
Let's be straight with you, the next week or so is lookin' pretty grim. Don't get your hopes up for any decent surf until we get well into the back half of this forecast. There’s a real dry spell on the cards.
We kick off on Thursday the 10th and right through to Wednesday the 17th, it's a write-off. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is messy. You'll see little 1ft to 4ft swells with periods around 7-9 seconds, but the conditions just aren't there. The energy is weak, so you're looking at weak, bumpy waves all the way. A few mornings like the 11th and 14th have that glassy look, but the underlying swell is too poor to be excited about. Honestly, there’s a solid week of nothing worth paddling out for.
The real story here is the massive pulse that's brewing for the end of next week. It all ramps up quickly from Friday the 18th. A proper groundswell arrives, period shootin' past 15 seconds, and the combined energy just explodes. But here's the rub: by Saturday the 19th, we're looking at an 12ft swell, which is getting into big boy territory. Then Sunday and Monday the 20th-21st? That's a 15ft to 21ft monster swell. That’s not just big, that’s dangerous. The guidance even says it's predicted to be too big for this break. That's an expert-only, survival-session kind of wave, if it’s even rideable.
Towards the end of the run, on Tuesday the 22nd afternoon, we see some relief. Still a solid 16ft swell from the S, with a 12-second period, but the wind shifts to a clean cross-off. Energy is still massive, but the numbers say the conditions could be clean. That looks like the best, and maybe only, stand-out window for those who know what they're doing, even though it's still enormous. After that, it drops like a stone and we're back to flat, rubbish conditions by Thursday the 24th.
So, to sum it up: take the next week off. If you're an absolute charger, keep an eye on that window from the 18th to the 22nd, but know that the 12ft+ days are for the elite only. For the rest of us, it’s a waiting game.
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.
