The Lowdown

Alright, let's take a look at what's cookin' for the next couple weeks. First up, we gotta be real – the next few days are gonna be a tough watch. It ain't completely flat, but it's small, messy, and just not worth paddlin' out for unless you're absolutely desperate. We're talkin' weak, short-period windswell, mostly onshore or cross-shore winds, just ordinary conditions. There's a few windows with glassy mornings and a clean look, but the energy is just too weak to get excited about.

The real story starts to build mid-week. Tuesday the 15th of September is where things get interesting. We've got a morning session that's looking like the first real highlight. Takegashima is the spot. Swell is picking up to 4ft from the SE with a 9-second period, and the wind is dead calm – glassy as it gets. The combined wave energy is moderate at 290, and it's all setting up for good surf conditions. The water is a warm 82°, which is about normal for this time of year. This is the one to circle. It's not a monster, but it'll be clean, fun, and the best call for a solid surf. The afternoon stays surfable but gets a bit lumpy with a light cross-shore, so get out early.

Now, if you're an experienced surfer with a bigger board and a lot of patience, hold tight for the following week. Around the 18th and 19th of September, things go nuts. Friday the 18th afternoon brings a jump to 6ft from the ESE, and it goes glassy – expect very good conditions with a solid 577 combined energy. But the real standout, the one for the crew who can handle it, is Saturday the 19th. Swell jacks up to a massive 12ft to 13ft from the ESE, with a very long-period groundswell of 15 to 16 seconds. The combined energy is a staggering 6196 to 7643 – that's strong, deep ocean energy. However, the wind is onshore from the NNE, making it a bit of a battle. This is strictly for advanced surfers only. The power is immense, and with that long period, it's going to be a heavy, heaving reef. It's a spectacle, not a beginner's playground. The swell direction is ESE, which is off from the optimum E direction for this spot, but with that much juice, it'll still be firing.

After that beast, the following Sunday (20th) is a write-off. The swell stays huge at 13ft, but the wind is howling from the NNE at 19 to 22 mph, turning it into a choppy, lumpy mess. This is kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing.

Monday the 21st is even bigger – we're talkin' 21ft to 25ft from the SE with periods of 14-15 seconds. The combined energy hits over 20,000. This is an all-time swell, but the forecast literally says it's too big for the break. Even with the wind going glassy in the afternoon, it's just unsurfable. A real shame.

After that wild week, things calm down but stay interesting. From the 22nd to the 24th, it's back to small and mostly poor conditions. But then, the last few days of the month look promising again. The 25th and 26th of September offer clean, glassy mornings with 3ft to 4ft swell from the ESE. The 27th is the real gem of the second week. Sunday the 27th brings a 5ft to 6ft swell from the SE, with a nice 11-12 second period, and the wind turns offshore from the SSW – clean and punchy. The combined energy is a healthy 614 to 928. That's a solid, fun day for a confident intermediate.

So, to sum it up: your best bets are the glassy morning of Tuesday the 15th for clean, fun waves, and then the big, expert-only swell on Saturday the 19th. For the second week, circle Sunday the 27th for clean offshore conditions and a good-size swell. The rest is either small, blown out, or just too big.

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.
