The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Takegashima over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a rough start. We’ve got a solid run of poor conditions kicking off the window. The first few days are a write-off – heavy rain, onshore winds, and messy, choppy surf. The swell is there, with waves hitting 7ft to 8ft from the ESE on Sunday the 6th, but the wind is blowing straight onshore at 12 to 16 mph, making it a total mess. The combined energy is strong (1369), but it’s not doing us any favours. This is more of a kite-surfing scene than a paddle session.
Things stay pretty grim through Monday and Tuesday the 7th and 8th. The wind is cross-onshore or onshore, the swell is dropping, and the quality is poor. We’re looking at a gap of several days with no real hope.
The first glimmer comes on Friday morning, the 11th of September. The wind drops to nothing, going glassy, with a light breeze from the ENE. The swell is small, only 4ft from the SSE with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy is weak (201). But for a reef break like Takegashima, that glassy surface is a huge plus. The water temp is about average for this time of year. It’s not going to be epic, but for a quick, clean session on a small wave, it might be your best bet early on. Expect crowds to be possible here.
The outlook stays pretty flat after that. There’s a tiny bump on the 15th of September, with 5ft from the ESE and a combined energy of 555, but it’s accompanied by a risk of thunderstorms and light cross-onshore winds. The surf is marginal at best. By the 16th, we get a glassy afternoon with a tiny 3ft swell, but the energy is gone (87). The rest of the forecast into the third week is just tiny, poor quality waves with no real power.
If you’re desperate for a paddle, the Friday morning the 11th is your only real standout – a rare clean window. Otherwise, it’s a long, flat stretch. The forecasts can change, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
