Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what's on the menu for Takegashima over the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a slow cooker, not a whole lot happening at the start, but there's a decent window of cleaner, bigger surf coming up if you can wait.

Right now, we're stuck in a stretch of pretty small stuff. From today, Monday the 13th, right through to the end of the week, it’s mostly tiny waves. We’re looking at knee-high swell from the southeast, hovering around 1 ft to 1 ft, with combined energy levels that are just weak, registering about 24 to 47 (units). The wind is light, even glassy at times on the mornings, but with no real swell to work with, it’s just flat and frustrating. A few afternoons have a clean look from a light cross-offshore wind, but honestly, there’s nothing to ride.

Now, the first glimmer of something real pops up late Friday, the 17th, in the afternoon. We see a jump to 3 ft from the ESE, and that period stretches way out to 16 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell pulse. The combined energy hits 426 (moderate). The wind is a light cross-onshore though, so the surface won't be perfect, but this is when things start to get interesting. Saturday the 18th keeps that energy going with 4 ft swell (energy at 484) but it’s a bit messy with light cross-shore winds and some rain showers around.

The real standout, the one to circle on your calendar, is Monday the 20th of July. This is the pick of the whole forecast period. We’ve got a solid ESE swell building to 5 ft in the morning and 5 ft in the afternoon, with a moderate period of 11 seconds. The wave energy is strong, hitting 509 and 574 (strong to very strong). But the best part? The wind goes glassy in the morning and clean cross-offshore in the afternoon. This is pumping, clean surf at Takegashima. This is definitely not for beginners – over 5 ft on a reef break is serious territory for experienced surfers only. It could get busy though, as crowds are mentioned as “sometimes” present here.

The quality holds into Tuesday the 21st and Wednesday the 22nd, with 4 ft and 3 ft waves and clean glassy mornings again, giving you a few good sessions. The wind backs off to nice conditions, and the energy is still moderate at 302 and 248.

After that, the swell starts to fade. By Thursday the 24th and through the weekend of the 26th, we’re back to waist-high or smaller, ordinary conditions. There is a little spike on Sunday the 26th afternoon with 2 ft from the south and clean cross-offshore wind, but it’s a distant second to that Monday the 20th window.

The water temp is running about average for this time of year, no weird anomalies to report.

So to wrap it up: be patient through this week of flatness. That Monday the 20th through Wednesday the 22nd is where it’s at. And remember, a 16-second period groundswell like that on Friday can bowl out a bit on a reef, but with the right winds, Takegashima should handle it nicely.

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.
