The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get stuck into what's coming up for our region.
We're looking at a pretty quiet start to the forecast period for Takegashima. The first few days are a bit of a write-off, with small, messy waves and onshore winds making it a struggle. The first real glimmer of hope comes on Wednesday the 9th. That morning, we've got a solid 8ft swell pushing in from the SSE, period a snappy 8 seconds. The wind is dead glassy, which is a beautiful thing. This is a powerful setup, with the combined wave energy hitting a serious 1744 (moderate to strong). This is definitely one for the experienced crew only, as that size is well into the expert zone. The water is sitting at 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
After that little burst, we fade back into a long, flat spell. From the 10th through to the 20th of September, it's a real grind. We're looking at small surf, mostly under 5ft, with a mix of onshore and cross-shore winds. The energy is low, and the conditions are just ordinary. There's a lot of "surfable but very ordinary" and "poor" in the cards, so you're not missing much.
Then, things get interesting. Looking at the long-range, we have a serious pulse of energy showing up. On Monday the 21st, a very long-period groundswell starts to fill in, with the swell period hitting 16 seconds. The wind is a problem (strong onshore), but the energy is climbing. By Tuesday the 22nd of September, this thing really lights up. The swell is a heavy 10ft to 15ft, with a super long period of 18 seconds. The combined energy is astronomical, reading 12,834 and 14,823 (very strong). This is a massive, powerful swell.
This is the standout event. For Takegashima, a reef break that's exposed to the east, this long-period energy from the SE/ESE is going to be a beast. The wind is a bit of a letdown—cross-on and choppy—which keeps the quality from being perfect. But for the expert crew, the sheer size and power is going to be the main event of the entire 16-day window. This is a late-September bomb, but it's a long way out, so keep your fingers crossed.
Overall, it's a slow start, a very long flat middle, and then a massive, risky swell at the end for the brave.
Rusty.

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.
