The Lowdown
Alright, let's get into it.
The next couple of weeks are looking pretty ordinary, to be honest. We've got a solid window of poor to marginal surf stretching from today right through until around the 11th. There's a bit of a pulse of energy mid-period, but the wind and conditions just aren't playing nice. We're looking at a lot of cross-onshore and onshore breezes, with some heavy rain and lumpy conditions in the mix. It’s not going to be pretty.
The first real standout of the whole period shapes up for the 12th and 13th. It’s small, but it gets glassy. On Saturday morning, expect a tiny 1ft of east swell with a very long 15-second period. The wind goes glassy, and the surface should be clean. It’s not going to be a big day, but it’ll be the best quality we've seen by far. Water temp is sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
For Takegashima (Japan), this is a reef break that can handle a long-period swell like that, so the 12th and 13th are worth a paddle if you're desperate and just want to get wet without getting blown around. Expect glassy conditions and a very ordinary wave, but it will be clean.
After that, there's a bit of a pickup on the 15th. Still not a standout, but the swell comes up to 5ft from the ESE with a 10-second period. The wind is light and cross-shore, which is a bit more interesting but still not magic. It could be worth a look for the slightly bigger energy, but don't expect perfection.
The rest of the second week is mostly small, messy, or both. Energy drops right off from the 17th onwards. There are moments of glassy conditions but with only 1ft to 2ft of swell, there’s not much to work with. It’s going to be a flatter end to the outlook.
So, to sum it up: the 12th and 13th are your best bet for clean, small waves. The 15th offers more size but with less quality. If you're a beginner, the 1ft days are fine, but anything over 5ft, like the 7ft swells on the 6th, will be too much. Given the onshore winds and the chop, those bigger days are looking more like a kite-surfing kind of setup than a paddle-surfing one.

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.
