The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Takegashima.
We’re looking at a pretty quiet start to the outlook. The first week is a real struggle, with hardly any energy in the water. From Sunday the 19th through to Saturday the 26th of July, it’s tiny, weak, and honestly not worth paddling out for. The combined swell energy is mostly in the double digits, barely cracking 100 (37-173), and wave heights are stuck around 0.7 ft to 1 ft. A few mornings are glassy, which is a tease, but the swell just isn’t there. You’ll be floating around more than surfing.
The real story, and the only true standout in this entire 16-day window, hits late on Monday the 27th of July and into Tuesday the 28th. This is where things get interesting. A solid S swell fills in, pushing heights up to 6 ft on Monday afternoon, and then 7 ft to 8 ft on Tuesday. This is proper groundswell with a 14-second period, so those waves will have some real punch and shape. The combined swell energy rockets up to between 1352 and 2486, which is a massive jump. The wind plays ball too—Monday afternoon has a light cross-off breeze, and Tuesday morning is glassy, turning into a clean offshore from the SSW Tuesday afternoon. This is excellent for experienced surfers, as the size is well over 5 ft and pushing close to the 8 ft mark. The only thing to keep in mind: with that long period, the wave will be fat and lined up, better for a reef like this, but it might break a bit too straight. If you’re an advanced surfer, this is the moment.
After that, it falls apart quickly. Wednesday the 29th drops back to tiny 1.0 ft and the energy vanishes. Then from Thursday the 30th through to Monday the 3rd of August, the wind howls onshore from the ESE, gusting 25 to 40 km/h. The swell tries to get back up—7 ft to 8 ft on the 3rd of August with energy up to 4401—but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy, making it a messy, blown-out mess. With that size and those winds on a reef, it looks more like a kite session than a paddle surf. Not one for the beginner, and even the experts will find it hard work.
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.
