Table - best surf conditions forecast for Takegashima over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s get into it. The big news here is a serious pulse of swell arriving in the first few days at Takegashima, this reef setup on the south coast. We’ve got a solid, long-period groundswell pushing in from the south, and the winds are looking favourable. This is a standout run for experienced surfers only.
It all kicks off on Friday the 10th of July morning. Takegashima is already seeing a clean 12 ft south swell with a 17-second period. Combined wave energy is pumping at 6964, which is very strong. Cross-off winds from the south at 3 mph will keep the faces tidy. This is heavy, powerful reef surf and not for the faint-hearted. The afternoon remains excellent with similar size and a 16-second period, energy up to 7220.
Saturday the 11th of July morning is the pick of the whole event. Swell builds to a solid 13 ft, still from the south, with a 17-second period. Combined energy skyrockets to 9002. The wind stays light cross-off from the south at 6 mph. These are exceptional but serious conditions – expert territory only. The water temp is around average for the time of year, nothing unusual there. It will be a busy lineup though; crowds are sometimes an issue here, so get in early.
Saturday afternoon the swell drops out completely. From Sunday the 12th through until late July, it goes flat or tiny. We’re looking at over a week of nothing worth paddling for. A few glassy mornings with knee-high dribble might get you out for a look, but it’s mostly poor quality.
A new south swell shows up around Friday the 24th of July morning. Takegashima gets a clean 5 ft south swell with a 12-second period. Glassy conditions with a light SSE breeze at 3 mph. Combined energy sits at 861 – moderate. The afternoon holds similar size with a light cross-off, good for more experienced intermediates. This is a promising but less certain long-range call.
Saturday the 25th of July morning sees the swell push to 7 ft from the south, 13-second period, energy at 1453. Cross-off winds keep it clean. This is getting into expert-only territory again as the size ramps up. A solid weekend session for those who can handle it after all those flat days.

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.
