The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin' for the next couple of weeks.

First up, we’re looking at Takegashima. It’s a reef setup, so you’ve gotta be on your game – it’s for the advanced crew. The water is sitting at 83°F, which is right about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The start of the period is a bit of a letdown. Saturday and Sunday are flat as a pancake, with tiny waves and poor conditions. Not worth paddling out for. That changes on Monday, the 24th of August. The morning brings a clean, glassy surface with a 1ft swell from the SE, and the period is a very long 18 seconds. That’s proper groundswell. The combined energy is pumping at 1120 (moderate wave energy). This is a standout session for experienced surfers. The size is perfect for a reef, and that long period will deliver some proper lines. In the afternoon, it jumps to 8ft with a 17-second period, and the energy ramps up to 2841 (strong wave energy). Still clean, still cross-off wind. This is the best on offer early on.

Tuesday, the 25th, sees the swell size jump big time – 10ft to 13ft from the SSE. That’s big, expert-only territory. The period drops a bit to 14-15 seconds, but the energy is massive (5922 to 6961). The wind is cross-shore, so it won’t be perfect, but for the big-wave chargers, this is a window. Wednesday morning, the 26th, is glassy again with a 10ft swell from the S, and the energy is 3356. That’s another standout for the experts.

Thursday and Friday, the 27th and 28th, are still solid, with 6ft to 8ft swells, glassy mornings, and clean conditions. The period drops to 9-11 seconds, so it’s a bit more manageable. The energy is in the 578 to 1206 range (moderate to strong). This is good, consistent surf for the experienced surfer.

After that, we hit a bit of a lull. Saturday the 29th has some small, short-period swell (4ft to 5ft, 6-7 seconds, energy 212-220). It’s clean, but weak. Then Sunday and Monday, the 30th and 31st, are mostly poor with onshore wind and rain. Not your day.

We get a bit of a pulse again on the 1st of September. Tuesday afternoon has a cross-off wind and a 4ft swell from the ESE at 11 seconds. The energy is 594 (moderate). It’s a clean, surfable option.

Now, the real standout for the advanced crew comes on Thursday, the 3rd of September. The morning brings a massive 16ft swell from the SE with a 12-second period. The energy is a staggering 6508 (very strong wave energy). The afternoon is slightly smaller at 15ft, but the wind is a clean cross-off, and the energy is still a massive 5068. This is exceptional surf for expert surfers only. If you’re charging, this is the day.

After that, through the 4th to the 6th of September, the swell drops but holds around 5ft to 12ft, but the wind turns onshore or cross-onshore, making it messy. The period stays around 9-12 seconds, so there’s energy, but the wind is the enemy. It’s marginal at best.

So, the two true standouts are the morning of Monday the 24th of August with that clean, long-period groundswell, and the massive, clean swell on the afternoon of Thursday the 3rd of September. For the average surfer, the earlier week is more forgiving. For the big-wave crew, that Thursday is the one to circle.

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.
