Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what we’ve got cooking for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a quiet start. We’re looking at a solid week of flatness before anything worth paddling out for shows up.

From today, Sunday the 12th, right through to Friday the 17th, it’s pretty much a write-off. We’ve got barely a ripple – swell heights hanging around 0.3 ft to 1 ft with weak combined wave energy in the single digits and twenties. Winds are light and sometimes glassy, but with no swell to push around, there’s just nothing to ride.

The first real pulse arrives on Saturday the 18th. Takegashima picks up a 6 ft ESE swell, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag. That combined energy is moderate (934), but the period is a middling 13 seconds, and the wind is light and cross-shore, putting a bit of texture on the surface. It’s only a "marginal" call – better than nothing, but not the cleanest setup.

The true standout of this entire forecast window is Sunday the 19th. This is the day to circle. Takegashima sees a jump to a 8 ft swell from the ESE, pumping strong wave energy (1593). The period is a shorter 9 seconds, which is fine, but the real key here is the wind: glassy, offshore from the ENE in the morning. That means clean, lined-up walls breaking over the reef. This is excellent surf, but it’s a serious one. At 8 ft, this is only for experienced surfers who know the reef. The crowd situation here is listed as "sometimes", so you might have a few others on it, but it won’t be a zoo.

The next couple of days on Monday the 20th are still surfable – 5 ft sets with a light cross-offshore wind – so it remains clean and fun for intermediates. That combined energy drops to around 395-412 (moderate). By Tuesday the 21st, the swell fades to 3 ft, and it’s just ordinary conditions.

The second week looks weak. From Wednesday the 22nd onward, the swell drops away to under 3 ft with poor wind directions and a lot of light junk. There’s a tiny pulse of 2 ft on Saturday the 25th and some glassy 1 ft sets on Sunday the 26th with a long 15-second period, but the energy is weak and it’s very small. Not worth changing plans for.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a total bust. Don't even bother. Your best bet is the morning of Sunday the 19th. Get out there early, wait for the clean, glassy sets, and have a good one.

Rusty, signing off.

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.
