The Lowdown

Alright folks, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's coming up for Takegashima.

Overall, the next week and a half is a bit of a mixed bag. We've got a run of small, wind-affected surf to start, then a big pulse of energy shows up, but with some caveats. The real standout is a solid window of excellent, powerful surf right around the middle of the period.

The first proper surfable waves are on Tuesday afternoon, September 1st. You'll see tiny 2ft waves from the east, with a long 12-second period. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze, keeping things clean, but the combined swell energy is weak at 144. It's surfable, but nothing to get excited about. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 84°.

From there, we hit a long dry spell. The conditions turn poor from Wednesday, September 2nd, right through Monday, September 7th. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore, the swell is messy and small, and there's rain and thunderstorms in the mix. It's a full week of nearly nothing worth paddling out for.

Now, here's where it gets interesting. Mark your calendars for Tuesday, September 8th. This is the standout. Takegashima (Japan) is going to be firing. We're looking at a massive 15ft groundswell from the southeast, with a long 11-second period. The combined energy is a staggering 4393, which is very strong. The wind is forecast to be glassy, completely calm in the morning and afternoon. This is prime, expert-level surf. The swell is big, over 8ft, so this is for experienced surfers only. The reef will be handling this size beautifully with that long period. Expect clean, powerful, empty-looking waves. It's a rare, perfect setup.

The following days, Wednesday and Thursday (September 9th and 10th), still have a massive 12ft to 13ft swell, but the wind turns onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. It's still a lot of energy, but the quality drops off a cliff.

The next real highlight comes on Saturday, September 12th. The swell has dropped to a more manageable 8ft from the southeast, with an 11-second period and a strong energy reading of 1302. The wind goes glassy again in the morning. This is another excellent window for experienced surfers, offering clean, powerful waves without the extreme size of the 8th.

After that, the swell slowly fades through the second week. We get some clean, smaller days on the 14th and 15th with 3ft to 4ft waves and glassy conditions, which will be fun for a wider range of surfers, but they're not the big standouts.

So, the bottom line: the first week is a write-off. The absolute best on offer is Tuesday, September 8th, with that huge, glassy groundswell. Saturday, September 12th is a very solid second option, also with clean conditions. After that, it's a slow fade.

This is 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.
