The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Takegashima over the next couple of weeks.

Right now the surf is tiny – we’re talking waist-high dribble at best. From Monday 27 July through to the end of the month, swell heights barely tickle 1.3ft to 2ft, and while the wind is often glassy or light, the energy is weak (combined energy under 200). The water’s sitting at 82.8°, which is about normal for this time of year. Nothing to get excited about – just small, ordinary waves with a few passing storms messing with the surface. That pattern holds through the first few days of August, with only a slight uptick in size on the 2nd (1.3ft, 16s period, combined energy 199) but still not worth paddling out for.

Then things get interesting. On Monday 3 August, a new ESE groundswell arrives – 4.3ft with 15s period and combined energy 786. The wind stays light cross-onshore, so it’s a bit bumpy, but the size is building. By Tuesday 4 August, we’re looking at 7.9ft – 8.2ft with period stretching to 17-18s. The afternoon of the 4th sees clean cross-off wind and a score that rates as “excellent for experienced surfers.” That’s when the reef starts to really wake up.

The standout window is Wednesday 5 August through Thursday 6 August. This is the peak. Wednesday morning: 9.8ft ESE swell, 18s period, glassy conditions – combined energy 6227. Wednesday afternoon: 11.5ft, still glassy, energy 7122. Thursday morning: 14.8ft, glassy, energy 11301. Thursday afternoon: 16.4ft, clean cross-off, energy 14067. This is proper, long-period groundswell – the kind that wraps around the reef and offers those long, powerful lines

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.
