The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Takegashima in feet and miles per hour. This is Rusty.
First off, you’re looking at a dry spell for the first week. From Sunday the 26th through to the 2nd of August, the swell is tiny—1ft to 2ft, mostly from the SE, with combined energy that’s weak, under 200. The water’s warm at 83°, that’s a touch warmer than normal. It’s glassy, but there’s nothing to ride.
Things start to change on Monday the 3rd of August. We get a long-period groundswell from the ESE, 4ft to 5ft, with a period of 16 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 575 (moderate) in the morning, then 942 by the afternoon. Winds are light cross-off, so it’s gonna be clean. That’s the first real window.
Thursday the 6th is the big one. We’re looking at 12ft to 15ft of ESE groundswell, with a 17 to 18-second period. Combined energy hits 7,282 in the morning, then 11,686 in the afternoon (strong). That’s powerful, heavy, and with light cross-off winds, it’s gonna be exceptional—but only for experts. Too big for anyone else.
Friday the 7th is even bigger—21ft to 25ft, period still 18 seconds, energy numbers like 28,715 and 32,732 (very strong). But the swell is predicted to be too big for this break. Same for Saturday the 8th, with 38ft to 49ft swells. That’s just insane.
Sunday the 9th still has 15ft of S swell, with a 11-second period, and energy at 5,736. Winds are glassy in the morning, so it’ll be clean, but still only for the experienced. Monday the 10th brings it back to 5ft to 5ft from the ESE, with a 15-second period, and glassy to light offshore winds. That’s a fun, clean day for the crew who know what they’re doing.
So, the standout is Thursday the 6th, but only if you’re a charger. For the rest of us, Monday the 3rd afternoon or Monday the 10th are your best bets. Keep it safe out there.
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.
