The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

First up, we’re looking at a pretty quiet start for Takegashima. The first few days are a bit of a write-off with small, weak swell and mostly onshore or cross winds messing up the surface. The water is sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, coming in at 85°F.

We’ve got a bit of energy building from the 2nd of September, with a small bump in swell height and combined energy hitting 235 (moderate), but the period is short at 8 seconds and the wind is cross. It’s still marginal, not really worth getting excited about.

Right, now for the real story. The standout window is from the 9th of September. Wednesday morning is shaping up to be a beauty. The swell picks up to 8ft from the ESE with a very long period of 13 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. The wind is dead calm, glassy conditions, and the combined energy is a massive 2741 (strong). This is a reef break, so that long period will wrap in nicely. This is for experienced surfers only, as 8ft is getting big. The following afternoon sees the swell even bigger at 10ft, still clean with a light cross-off wind. Again, this is expert territory.

Then, on the 11th of September, Friday afternoon, we get another cracker. The swell drops back to 6ft from the south, but it’s still a long period of 12 seconds. The wind is glassy again, and the energy is 1249 (strong). This is a much more manageable size for strong intermediates, and the clean conditions will make it a joy.

The 12th of September Saturday morning has an 8ft swell, but the period has dropped to 8 seconds, so it’s more of a wind swell. Still, glassy conditions and moderate energy (715) mean it could be fun for those who like a bit of power.

The 13th of September Sunday morning is a weird one – a massive 16ft south swell with a 10-second period, but the wind is onshore and the energy is through the roof at 4852 (very strong). This is a dangerous, messy beast. Only for the absolute top-tier crew, and even then, it’s marginal.

After that, things settle right down. The 14th of September has a small, clean, glassy 4ft south swell, a nice little finisher for the patient surfer.

So, to sum it up: the best bet is the 9th of September Wednesday morning for the big, clean, glassy groundswell, closely followed by the 11th of September Friday afternoon for a slightly smaller but equally clean session. The rest of the run is a mix of small and messy or just too big. Get on it while it’s clean.

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.
