The Lowdown

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s on the cards for Takegashima.

We’ve got a pretty grim start here, I won’t sugarcoat it. For the first few days – Thursday the 30th of July right through Saturday the 1st of August – there is really nothing to get excited about. We’re looking at flat-to-miniscule swell, nothing over 1.3ft, with periods barely scraping 10 seconds. The combined swell energy is sitting in the weak range (23 to 59), and while the wind is glassy at times, the ocean just has no push. It’s poor conditions, so save the wax.

Come Sunday the 2nd of August, things begin to change. The swell starts to build, hitting 1.6ft in the morning with a period stretching to 14 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 295 (moderate). By the afternoon, we’re seeing 3.3ft from the ESE with a 16-second period and energy at 563. The wind is light cross-onshore though, so it’s still a marginal call – mostly for the patient surfer.

Now, Monday the 3rd of August brings a proper ramp up. Morning sees 5.6ft (ESE, 17-second period) with energy at 1784, and by the afternoon it’s 6.9ft with the same direction and period, energy at 2385. Wind is still a touch cross, so not pristine, but the power is building.

If you’re an experienced surfer and you want the standout, circle Tuesday the 4th of August morning. That’s when we hit a sweet spot: 9.8ft of ESE swell, a very long 17-second period, and glassy conditions. The combined energy is a strong 4498. That’s clean, powerful surf for the crew who know what they’re doing. The swell direction matches the optimum (E) fairly well, and with the reef bottom, those long-period lines should stack up nicely. Afternoon sees a risk of storms and cross-wind, so get in early.

Wednesday the 5th of August, the swell keeps pumping – 16.4ft in the morning and 18.0ft in the afternoon, both from the SE with an 18-second period. Energy is enormous (14075 and 19029). But, take note: this is too big even for this exposed reef. The wind is onshore and gusty, so it’s really for the big-wave specialists only, and honestly, the setup might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

Thursday the 6th of August is similar: 26.2ft swell both sessions, SE direction, very long period (17-18 seconds), with fresh cross-onshore wind. The combined energy is off the charts (37604 and 35398). Again, too big and messy for a safe or enjoyable paddle session.

Friday the 7th of August drops a touch but is still massive: 23.0ft in the morning and 19.7ft in the afternoon (SSE, 15-16 seconds, energy 44150 and 16044). Wind stays cross-onshore, with storm risk. Not the day to be casual.

We then see a drop on Saturday the 8th of August: 9.8ft in the morning, 8.2ft in the afternoon, both from the SE with a short period (9 seconds). Combined energy falls to 1283 and 1023. The wind is lighter (cross-onshore turning cross), and while the size is more manageable, the period is short and the conditions are choppy. Sunday the 9th of August is similar – 8.2ft to 7.9ft, short period (9 seconds), ok for a marginal session but nothing special.

Into the second week, and it’s a mixed bag. Monday the 10th of August: 4.9ft in the morning (SE, 8 seconds, energy 576), building to 6.9ft in the afternoon (S, 11 seconds, energy 1441). Wind is light, so it’s rideable but ordinary.

Tuesday the 11th of August morning offers a nice little surprise: glassy conditions, 4.6ft from the south with an 11-second period, energy at 617. This could be a fun, clean window if you’re around. The afternoon drops off badly.

Wednesday the 12th of August and Thursday the 13th of August are poor again – onshore winds, small messy swell, no real energy.

Friday the 14th of August morning gives another glassy moment: 4.3ft from the ESE with a 13-second period, energy at 671. That’s clean and could be a nice way to finish the week.

The water temperature is a warm 83.0°F with a positive anomaly of 1.6°F, so it’s a touch warmer than average for the time of year.

The real standout is Tuesday the 4th of August morning – glassy, 9.8ft, long period, strong energy, and the optimum swell direction. It’s a reef break for advanced surfers, and with crowds listed as “sometimes,” you might have some company, but it’s worth it. The only other highlight is Tuesday the 11th of August morning for a smaller, glassy window.

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.
