The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, breakin' down the next couple weeks at Takegashima.
The first few days are a total dud. Sunday the 6th is a mess – 6.2ft of cross-onshore ESE swell with poor conditions. Don't even think about paddling out.
The real standout hits early on Wednesday the 9th. The wind goes glassy with a SSW breeze, and we get a clean 6.9ft swell from the SSE, period around 9 seconds. The energy is pumping at 776, so there’s some proper grunt behind it. This is the session to aim for, but just know the lineup can get crowded here sometimes.
After that, it’s a long, slow fade. The swell drops off hard through the rest of the week into the next. Sunday the 13th afternoon shows a 3.9ft ESE swell with moderate energy (525), but the cross-onshore wind will chop it up. Not worth the drive.
Tuesday the 15th has a 6.9ft ESE pulse in the morning, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy again. The following Wednesday the 16th morning is glassy with a 4.6ft SE swell. It’ll be clean, but the energy is low and the period is short, so don’t expect much push.
From the 17th onward, it’s tiny. We’re talking knee-high dribble. The 19th gets clean offshore SW wind, but the swell is barely 2.6ft. Might be fun on a longboard if you’re bored.
So yeah, the one real highlight is that Wednesday the 9th morning. The rest is mostly a waiting game. Water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 84°, but that doesn’t fix the wave size. Classic slow spell for the region.

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.
