The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’re looking at a pretty lean run for Takegashima over the next sixteen days, so don’t go getting your hopes up too high. There’s a big gap at the start with nothing worth paddling out for, and it’s a bit of a waiting game until we see a tiny window of something surfable.
The stretch from Saturday the 5th right through to the end of the first week is mostly a write-off. We’ve got onshore wind and messy, poor surf conditions. The one exception is Sunday the 6th, where the swell bumps up to 7 ft to 8 ft from the ESE with a period of 9 to 10 seconds. That’s a decent amount of energy (688 to 1073), but the wind is howling onshore at 12 mph, making it look more like a kite session than a paddle one. The break is a reef, so it’s not for the faint-hearted anyway, but with that wind, it’s a pass for me.
The surf really stays quiet until Monday the 14th. On Monday morning, the wind finally goes glassy, and we get a 4 ft swell from the ESE at 8 seconds. The energy is low (177), so it’s weak, but it’s clean. The water temperature is sitting at 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.
The real standout, and the only time I’d genuinely get excited, is on Tuesday the 15th in the afternoon. We get clean conditions with cross-offshore wind from the south at just 3 mph. The swell is 4 ft from the ESE at 9 seconds (351 combined energy). The wind is light, the waves will be clean, and it’s the best quality we’ll see all forecast. This is a tiny window, but if you can get out there, it’s the one to aim for.
The rest of the run into the second week is tiny, with swell dropping to 1 ft to 2 ft and hardly any energy. There are a few glassy moments around the 19th, but the waves are just too small to do anything with.
Overall, it’s a lean period. The only real shot is that Tuesday afternoon session on the 15th. Keep an eye on the forecast, but otherwise, don’t hold your breath.
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.
