The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break it down in feet and miles per hour for you.
First off, we've got a bit of a lull before things fire, but there's some good surf on the way. Starting Sunday, August 9th, the early morning is looking sweet with glassy 3ft waves from the ESE. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 84°F. The energy is moderate, so there's some punch. That afternoon cleans up nicely with similar size from the east and light cross-off winds. A solid start.
Monday the 10th keeps the momentum. Morning glass again, with a 4ft S swell, a period around 10 seconds, and moderate energy. Good for a session. The afternoon goes dead calm and glassy, with the swell dropping a touch but still offering a clean 3ft.
Then it goes flat. From Tuesday the 11th right through to Sunday the 16th, it's a real dry spell. Mostly poor conditions, tiny waves, and messy winds. You'll be looking at knee-high slop for the best part of a week. Not worth paddling out.
Things start stirring again on Monday the 17th. A lumpy 4ft E swell shows up, but with a short period and marginal conditions, it's a tough sell. Tuesday the 18th actually packs some energy with a 6ft E swell, but it's cross-onshore and the period is short. Probably looks more fun for a kite than a paddle.
The standout window is Wednesday, August 19th. That morning is the call. We get a clean, 8ft ESE swell with a moderate period, but the wind is offshore from the SW and the combined energy is strong. This is for experienced surfers only – way too big for beginners. That afternoon pushes even bigger to 10ft from the east, with energy going through the roof, but it’s clean with a cross-off breeze. If you've got the skills, that's your day. Crowds are possible here at Takegashima, so get in early.
The swell backs off Thursday the 20th, but we get glassy 4ft in the morning and clean 4ft in the afternoon, both from the ESE. Good fun after the big stuff.
After that, the week of the 21st to the 24th sees smaller, more inconsistent waves. A few glassy mornings with waist-high S swell around the 22nd and 23rd, but the energy is moderate and nothing really stands out as epic.
Bottom line: the first few days are decent, but the real action – the one you pencil in – is Wednesday the 19th. Big, clean waves for the brave.

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.
