The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s size up the next 16 days at Takegashima. This is a reef setup that takes a bit of know-how, so it’s mainly for the advanced crew. The water is currently sitting at a warm 82.9°, which is about a degree warmer than usual for this time of year – nothing crazy, but you’ll notice it’s a touch toastier than normal.
The first real action hits us Tuesday afternoon, the 8th of September. We’ve got a solid 8.2ft swell pushing in from the SSE, with a period of 9 seconds. The wave energy is pumping hard at 1936, which is serious power. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze, keeping things clean. This is excellent, but it’s a big, powerful wave – only for the experienced. This is the standout of the whole window.
Wednesday morning, the 9th, keeps the size up at 11.5ft from the south, with a clean offshore wind from the SW, but the energy is still massive at 1699. That’s a heavy, heavy day. If you’re an expert, get in before the wind shifts. By Wednesday afternoon, the wind swings onshore from the NNE and the swell drops to 6.2ft, and it gets pretty ordinary.
We go through a grim patch from Thursday the 10th all the way through Sunday the 13th. The swell drops to tiny 1.3ft to 3.6ft, the winds are messy, and the wave energy is weak, mostly under 200. Not worth paddling out.
Monday the 14th shows a little pulse of 3.9ft to 4.3ft from the ESE, but the wind is cross-shore or cross-onshore, and the wave comment says it’s marginal. Tuesday the 15th is a better bet. The swell is 3.9ft to 4.3ft from the ESE, and the wind goes glassy in the morning, then clean offshore from the SW in the afternoon. The energy is around 217-248, so it’s got some life. That’s a decent session.
The rest of the 16 days from the 16th onward is a slow fade. We’re looking at tiny waves, mostly under 3ft, with onshore or cross-shore winds. The wave energy is consistently below 100, and the scores are all zero. The second week is a write-off for decent surf. Stick to the first few days if you want a real wave.
So, the pick of the bunch is Tuesday the 8th afternoon for the biggest, cleanest swell, and maybe Tuesday the 15th for a cleaner, smaller window if you missed the main event.

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.
