Hey crew, Rusty here. Let’s cut through the noise and talk about what’s coming.
We’ve got a proper pulse of energy building, but you need to pick your spots. The first few days are just the warm-up.
On Wednesday and Thursday, the swell is coming up from the SE, around 7ft to 7ft, with side and side-offshore winds. It’s okay, but not the main event.
The real standout is Takegashima (reef break). Friday afternoon is the first big call. A solid 13ft south swell, with a 17-second period—that’s deep ocean energy (8721). The wind is light and cross-offshore, leaving the faces clean. That’s a heavy wave, only for experienced surfers. Crowds are only ’sometimes’ a problem, but on a swell this size, the crew will be out.
Then Saturday morning (July 11th) is the absolute king of the run. The swell holds at 13ft from the south with that same 17-second period (8460), and the wind goes completely glassy. Dead flat. For a reef, that’s the dream. The combined swell energy is enormous, so pack your big wave gun and your balls. Experts only.
Sunday the 12th sees the plug pulled. It drops to tiny, poor surf through Sunday and Monday.
We get a tiny rebound around Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th, with clean but weak 3ft to 4ft ESE swell. It’s clean, small, and the energy is low (150-275). It’s a longboard day.
The second week has a long flat spell, with only a small tease on Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th. A small 3ft to 3ft ESE swell with offshore winds. The Monday wind is strong (35 km/h), so it’ll be clean but a battle to get out. Water temp is normal for the season.
Mark your calendar for Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. That’s the best we’ve got.

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.
