The Lowdown

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming up for Takegashima over the next couple of weeks.

We've got a bit of a slow start, but don't let that fool you. The back half of this outlook is where the real story is. For the first week or so, we're looking at small, weak surf. Honestly, it's pretty quiet. From Wednesday the 19th through to Sunday the 23rd, the waves are tiny – mostly ankle to knee-high, with combined swell energy readings mostly under 100 (weak). There are some glassy mornings, especially the 19th and 21st, but there's just no power behind it. It's a real struggle for the paddle-out, but the conditions will be clean. You might catch a waist-high wave on Friday the 21st morning as the energy bumps up a touch to 175 (moderate), but it's still nothing to write home about.

We then hit a real flat spell from the 22nd to the 24th, with barely a ripple. A tiny pulse on the 25th Tuesday afternoon sees a long-period (14 seconds) southeast groundswell roll in, pushing the energy to 353 (moderate) but with a cross-onshore breeze, making it a bit lumpy. Still, not the high point.

Now, hold onto your boards, because things get serious from the 26th of August onwards. A big swell fills in, but it's accompanied by some nasty weather. Wednesday the 26th sees a solid SSE pulse arrive, but with strong onshore and cross-onshore winds up to 22 mph, it's going to be a complete mess. The wave energy is huge – over 2000 (strong) – but the wind will chop it to pieces. This isn't a day for paddling; it's a day for watching from the beach or maybe getting the kite out.

The wind stays messy through the 27th and 28th, with a huge, powerful S swell (energy readings over 2500) battling strong cross-shore winds. For experienced surfers, Friday the 28th afternoon looks the most manageable with clean conditions and a cross-offshore breeze, but it's still a solid 8 ft with a lot of punch. This is expert territory.

And then, the payoff. The standout is absolutely Monday the 31st of August through to Wednesday the 2nd of September. The wait is worth it. On Monday the 31st, we've got a clean, glassy 6 ft ESE swell with a long 13-second period. The energy is solid at 1525 (strong), and with zero wind and a glassy surface, it'll be perfect. This is the pick for anyone who can handle a proper wave.

But for the hardcore crew, Tuesday the 1st of September is next level. We are looking at a massive 10 ft S groundswell with a very long 16-second period, pumping out an energy reading of 7037 (very strong). The morning is glassy. This is an expert-only session. The swell direction is south, which is cross to the optimum east, so it might be a bit walled-up at the beach, but the power will be there.

If you want the absolute biggest and best, Wednesday the 2nd of September is the one. The combined energy hits a massive 9316 (very strong) with a 15 ft ESE groundswell. The morning is glassy, the afternoon is clean with a light cross-offshore breeze. The scores are the highest on the chart. This is a day for the gnarliest of the locals. Just be aware, with that long period on an east-southeast swell, it will be a freight train at the break.

So, get through the first week of small stuff, dodge the windy mess at the end of August, and then circle August 31st to September 3rd. The last week is where the magic is, but it's all for experienced surfers only.

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.
