The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

We’ve got a solid pulse of swell hitting Takegashima early on, but it comes with a cost. Wednesday morning, August 5th, we’re looking at a beefy 4.5m (15ft) swell out of the ESE, with a 16-second period – that’s a proper groundswell. The combined energy is massive (9886), so there’s a lot of power in the water. The wind is light and onshore, which keeps it from being perfect, but it’s manageable for a crew that knows what they’re doing. Water temp is sitting at 84°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the thick rubber at home.

The standout here is Wednesday morning, August 5th at Takegashima (reef). That 4.5m (15ft) ESE swell with a 16-second period is a long-period groundswell, and on a reef setup like this, it’ll hold its shape better than a beach break. The wind is light and onshore, not ideal, but it’s not going to ruin it. This is an advanced-only break, and with that size, it’s no place for a beginner. The combined energy is nearly 10,000, so you’ll feel the weight. Crowds are possible here, so don’t expect to have it to yourself.

The afternoon of the same day sees the swell shift to a 4.5m (15ft) SE, still with a 16-second period, but the wind goes cross-onshore and the energy jumps to 10672 – it’s going to get a bit lumpy, but still punchy.

From Thursday, August 6th, through the weekend, it’s pretty rough. Thursday afternoon is a 5.0m (16ft) swell with a 14-second period, but the wind is howling at 25 km/h (16 mph) cross-onshore, and there’s a risk of thunderstorms. The energy is through the roof (19382), but the conditions are messy. It’s a write-off for clean surfing.

Things quiet down significantly after the 8th. We’ve got a long gap of small, weak, wind-affected surf from the 8th through the 10th. Nothing worth paddling out for.

Then, on Tuesday morning, August 11th, we get a little window. It’s only 1.2m (4ft) from the S, with a 12-second period, and for the first time in a while, the wind is glassy – zero wind. The combined energy is low (567), but that glassy surface will make it look better than it is. For a small wave session on a reef, it could be fun, but it’s not a standout.

Another big gap from the 12th through the 16th, with tiny surf and mostly onshore or cross-shore breezes. Not worth the drive.

The next real flash of something promising is Thursday morning, August 20th. We’ve got a 2.5m (8ft) swell from the ESE, 12-second period, combined energy of 2184, and the wind is light and cross-offshore from the S. That’s clean. This is an excellent call for experienced surfers – that size on a reef with a clean offshore wind is the kind of session you wait for. It’s a bit far out, so keep an eye on it, but it looks like the best of the next two weeks.

The afternoon of the 20th holds similar – 2.3m (8ft), same direction, clean cross-offshore wind. A solid day for the advanced crew.

Bottom line: Wednesday morning, August 5th is the big, heavy highlight for the first week, but it’s for experts only. The second week has a promising window on the 20th, but it’s less certain. For the rest, it’s mostly a story of waiting for the wind to back off.

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.
