The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board, it’s Rusty here. We’ve got a stretch of weather ahead that’s gonna keep things interesting. Let’s break it down for Takegashima.
Right off the bat, Sunday the 23rd is flat and gutless. Forget about it. But hold on, Monday the 24th is where it all kicks off. That’s the standout of the whole run. Monday morning we’ve got a clean 4.2ft of ESE swell rolling in with a glassy surface. By the afternoon it bumps up to 6.2ft, still from the SE, and the offshore wind keeps it clean. This is prime time for the advanced crew. The energy is solid. This is the day to be out there.
Monday night into Tuesday the 25th the swell jumps big, hitting 11.4ft, but the wind goes cross and it gets messy. That size is expert-only, and even then, the conditions are going to be junky. The energy is massive. It’s all over the place.
Wednesday the 26th is still big, 9.8ft in the morning, but it drops to 7.8ft by the afternoon and the wind turns cross-off, making it clean again. That’s another good window for the experienced surfer. It’s still powerful, but it’s a step down from Monday.
Thursday the 27th backs off to a more manageable 5.2-5.5ft, and it’s clean and glassy in the morning. Good, fun waves, not as epic, but a solid day. The energy is a bit weaker.
Friday the 28th is another highlight. The swell bumps back up to 6.8-7.5ft from the S/SSE, and the morning is glassy. The afternoon is clean with a cross-off breeze. The energy is good and punchy. This is quality.
Saturday the 29th is a bit of a drop-off. Swell is 5.9-6.2ft, but the period is short, coming in at 7 seconds. It’ll be there, but it won’t have the same push. Still, it’s clean and surfable.
Then we hit a lull. Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st are small, in the 2-3.9ft range. It’s not a write-off, but it’s a big step down from the middle of the week.
From Tuesday the 1st of September onwards, things get rough. The wind swings onshore from the NE and builds through the week. The swell bumps up on the 3rd and the 4th, but it’s blowing hard onshore and turning

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.
