The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it, folks. Rusty here, and I’m looking at what’s brewing for Takegashima. This is a reef break, a spot for the advanced crew only—it’s consistent, but it can get a bit crowded at times.

The water’s warm at 83°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be comfy in boardies or a light spring suit.

Right now, for the first few days, it’s pretty flat. We’re talking tiny 1 ft of swell from the southeast with a long period of 16 seconds—that’s a groundswell, but it’s just got no push. The combined energy is weak (139), so you’re looking at surfable but very ordinary waves. The wind is light and glassy, which is nice, but there’s just not enough to get excited about. This kind of small, straight wave at a reef isn’t doing anyone any favors.

The pattern stays minimal through the end of July and into the first few days of August. Swell heights stay around 1.0 ft to 2 ft with weak energy, and the setups are mostly just poor surf conditions. There’s a bit of a gap here with no real recommendations.

Then, around August 2nd, things start to stir. We get a jump to 2 ft on Sunday morning, building to 3 ft by the afternoon, with a long period of 14 seconds from the east-southeast. The combined energy climbs to moderate (201 to 324). The wind is light cross-onshore to cross, so it’s not clean, but it’s a hint of life.

The real standout, though, is the August 4th to August 6th window. This is where the big stuff hits. By Tuesday August 4th morning, we’re looking at 10 ft of swell, jumping to 12 ft by the afternoon, with a very long period of 18 seconds from the east-southeast. The combined energy is massive (8,254). That’s serious groundswell—this is for experts only. The wind turns cross-off and light on Tuesday afternoon, making it clean. This is the best on offer, but only for the experienced crew.

Wednesday August 5th sees the swell holding at 13 ft with the same long period, and the combined energy is over 10,000—that’s strong, powerful surf. The wind is cross on Wednesday afternoon, so it’s still manageable.

Thursday August 6th is the peak, with 16 ft swell and the same 18-second period, but the combined energy is insane at 17,119. The wind goes glassy in the afternoon. This is too big for most people—only the absolute top-end experts should even think about it. The wave comment says it’s too big for this break, and I’d agree.

After that, Friday August 7th is still huge at 21 ft to 23 ft, but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore, making it lumpy. Saturday morning sees the swell drop to 8 ft, but the wind is a near gale, so it’s a mess. Later on Saturday afternoon, the wind goes offshore, dropping to 6 ft, and the energy is moderate (1,151). That’s a good option for the experienced crew.

Finally, Sunday August 9th brings a cleaner 5 ft swell with glassy winds in the morning. The combined energy is moderate (628), and it’s a good, clean option for those who missed the big stuff.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. The real action is from August 4th to August 6th, but that’s big, groundswell energy—only for experts. The later window on August 8th afternoon and August 9th morning offers cleaner, more manageable surf for the advanced crowd.

Takegashima is a reef, so those long-period swells will wrap in nicely, but it’s not a beach break for beginners. If you’re not advanced, sit this one out.

That’s it from me. Stay safe out there.

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.
