The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Takegashima.
First, the honest truth: the next week is a bit of a flat spell. You're looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak energy with combined swell energy readings languishing in the teens and thirties (34, 33, 52...). The wave comment tells you it's "poor surf conditions" right through to the 26th of July. This ain't a time to be paddling out; it's a time to check your fins and wax your board.
Then, things start to stir on the 27th of July. The combined energy rockets up to 1537, a massive jump that signals a strong pulse of energy. The swell jumps to 6 ft from the SE with a long 15-second period. This is groundswell. The morning is absolute gold – glassy wind from the East, zero wind, making for what's described as "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers". This is the standout morning of the entire run. The afternoon sees the swell up to 8 ft, but a cross-shore wind comes in, making it "marginal". Still, that morning session is the one to aim for.
The 28th of July brings even more size, with 13 ft SE swell and a 16-second period, but the wind is cross-onshore all day. The combined energy is massive (6873 and 7510), but the conditions are "marginal". This is big, raw, powerful SE groundswell, but it's going to be a battle with the wind. For the advanced crew only, and even then, it's a bit of a gamble.
The 29th of July drops a touch to 10 ft, but the wind is a stronger cross-onshore, making it choppy and "marginal" again. The energy is still strong (4024, 2878), but the quality just isn't there for a clean surf.
After that, the 30th of July sees a crash. The wind howls onshore, the swell disappears back to 2 ft, and the combined energy plummets to 173. It's "poor surf conditions" again, and the following days through to the 3rd of August are a write-off with strong onshore winds and tiny, weak swell.
So, the only true standout is the morning of July 27th. A 6 ft, 15-second SE groundswell with glassy conditions. That's the one. For the rest of the period, the 28th and 29th have size, but the wind ruins it. Mark the 27th in your calendar.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
