The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next 16 days for our little corner of the world. The water’s sitting at a warm 84°, which is about a degree warmer than usual for this time of year—nothing crazy, but it’s a nice touch.

The first few days have some surf, but honestly, the standout window is from Sunday the 23rd onward. The real highlight is going to be Monday the 24th through Wednesday the 26th, with Tuesday the 25th being the absolute pick of the bunch.

Let’s start with Sunday the 23rd afternoon. It’s small, only 1 ft from the SE with a 13-second period. The energy is weak (68), and while it’s surfable, it’s very ordinary. Not worth getting excited about.

Monday the 24th is where things kick off. The morning is glassy, with a 4 ft SE swell, 19-second period – that’s a proper long-period groundswell. Combined energy is strong (1275). This is going to be clean and punchy, definitely for experienced surfers only. The afternoon picks up to 7 ft SE, 16 seconds, still clean with a cross-off breeze. Excellent conditions.

Tuesday the 25th is the best of the whole run. Morning sees 10 ft from the SSE, 14 seconds, with a cross-off light breeze. The energy is very strong (3685). This is big, powerful, and clean – expert territory only. The afternoon holds the same size and direction, still clean. If you’re charging, this is your day.

Wednesday the 26th morning is still solid at 8 ft from the S, 13 seconds (energy 2086), clean. The afternoon brings an offshore wind from the SSW, 6 ft S swell, 12 seconds – still excellent for experienced surfers.

After Wednesday, things drop off. Thursday the 27th is small and messy, with a risk of storms. The rest of the week and into the next week is poor. From the 28th through the 31st, it’s mostly tiny, weak, and ordinary – nothing to chase.

The first week of September looks rough. The 1st has some marginal cross-onshore swell, but it’s not good. The 2nd through the 5th are poor, with onshore winds and messy conditions. The 5th afternoon sees a big 10 ft S swell, but it’s hammered by a 28 mph cross-onshore wind – that’s more for kite surfers than paddle surfers.

The 6th and 7th show some improvement, but it’s still marginal. A small clean-up is possible on the 7th afternoon with a 2 ft SSE swell, 13 seconds, and offshore winds – but it’s tiny.

So, to sum it up: the best window is Monday the 24th through Wednesday the 26th, with Tuesday the 25th being the standout. Don’t hold your breath for the second week.

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.
