Table - best surf conditions forecast for Takegashima over the next 16 days.
Alright, let's break this down for the 16-day stretch at Takegashima. It starts flat and stays that way for a while. From now through the 16th of July, we're talking tiny mush – waves around 1 to 1 ft, barely any energy, total washout. Don't bother.
First real flicker of life comes Friday the 17th. The morning is a bit cross-onshore and messy, but the afternoon cleans up with a 2 ft SE swell and energy pumping to 473. That’s when you know something is brewing. The big moment, though, is Sunday the 19th. Sunday morning is glassy – 5 ft from the ESE, clean as a whistle, energy reading 539. Then the afternoon jumps to a meaty 7 ft, 11-second period, and a light cross-offshore wind. That’s pure power, with an energy reading of 1598, and it’s going to be tall, clean, and only for the experienced. Water temp is 77°, a touch cooler than average, so you might want a spring suit.
Monday the 20th still has some punch – 6 ft in the morning with clean conditions (energy 1056) – before it fades into smaller, weaker stuff for the rest of the week. The window closes out by the 25th with nothing to write home about. If you’re looking to score, Sunday the 19th is your clear winner. Just know this reef can get crowded when it’s good.

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.
