The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Takegashima over the next couple of weeks.

Right now, it's a slow start. We've got small, short-period SSE swell coming in around 3 ft, and it's clean enough Friday morning with a light offshore breeze, but the energy is barely ticking over (116). The water temperature is 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Honestly, Friday is just surfable, nothing to write home about. Friday afternoon drops off even more.

The weekend stays small and ordinary. Saturday is more of the same – tiny S swell, short period, and the energy is weak. Sunday morning is glassy with a light S swell, but again, it's small. It's not until Monday morning, the 31st of August, that things start waking up. We get a clean, glassy 3 ft S swell with a longer 11-second period and a solid bump in energy (210). That's the first real sign of life.

Tuesday the 1st of September sees the swell bump up to 6 ft from the SSE, but the wind swings cross-shore and picks up to 12 mph, putting a chop on it. Wednesday gets bigger, 8 ft to 10 ft, but it's still messy with cross-off winds and rain in the mix. Thursday the 3rd is a write-off – strong cross-shore winds at 25 mph and crummy conditions.

The standout window begins Friday the 4th of September. We get a clean 5 ft S swell with offshore SW winds at 16 mph. The energy is moderate (625) and the conditions are firing – this is where you want to be out. Saturday the 5th keeps it going with a 4 ft S swell and light offshore breezes. Good, clean waves for a solid session.

Now, if you're an experienced surfer, mark your calendar for the 10th of September and beyond. We get a proper long-period groundswell from the SE, hitting 8 ft with a 14-second period on Thursday the 10th. The energy jumps to 2014, winds are light and clean – this is excellent, powerful surf. Then Friday the 11th is a monster: 10 ft to 13 ft SE swell, very long 14-second periods, and light offshore winds. The combined swell energy is 4204, rising to a staggering 7514 in the afternoon. This is big, powerful, and for experts only. Saturday the 12th looks even more incredible – 13 ft SE swell, glassy conditions, and an energy reading of 8089. That is a pulse of serious, deep ocean energy.

Keep in mind, that late-week swell has a very long period (over 14 seconds), and at a reef break like Takegashima, that should handle it beautifully, offering some proper walls. But for the beach, that long period can make things a bit wonky. The crowd factor here is listed as "sometimes", so you might have company on the best days, but it won't be a circus.

Overall, the first week is a grind, but the second week, especially from the 4th and then the 10th onward, delivers some absolute gems. The long-range stuff around the 11th and 12th is huge – promising, but you know how forecasts go that far out. Still, it looks like one for the books.

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.
