The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s run through what’s happening at Takegashima for the next couple of weeks. Gotta be honest, it’s a real mixed bag—lots of swell in the water, but the wind’s gonna be a headache most of the time. We’ve got some ordinary days to get through before the good stuff.

Right off the bat, the first few days are flat and ugly. Tuesday morning kicks off with tiny 1ft surf from the ESE, a light cross-shore, and the water is a touch warmer than normal at 84°—about 3° above what you’d expect. It’s just not doing a thing. Tuesday afternoon is a bit better at 2ft, but still, nothing to get stoked about. The combined energy is weak (114 to 144), and the wave report says *poor surf conditions*. We’re stuck with onshore and cross-onshore winds for days, with heavy rain and building swell that’s getting torn apart. Thursday the 3rd through to the 8th is a total loss—7ft to 8ft from the ESE but with onshore winds and moderate breezes spoiling any chance of a wave. The combined energy climbs into the hundreds (257 to 898), but it’s all a mess.

Now, things start looking up around the 9th of September. Wednesday morning brings a solid 10ft SE groundswell with a 12-second period—plenty of energy (2403). Problem is, the wind is still onshore from the NE, so it’s only marginal. That holds through the 10th and into the 11th, where we see the biggest swell of the window: 13ft from the SE with a 12-second period and massive combined energy (4287). The wind finally turns cross-shore from the SE, light at first. For a reef break like Takegashima, that long-period SE swell will set up beautifully—real shape and power. But this size (13ft) is only for experts—it’s big, heavy, and dangerous if you’re not locked in. The morning of the 11th is the standout: big, pretty clean with light cross-shore, but only for the crew with the nerve.

The 12th drops back to 8ft from the SE, still cross-shore but with a moderate breeze making it choppy. Not the same magic. The 13th and 14th see the swell fading and the wind turning onshore again—back to ordinary.

Last call, and the best on offer, is the 15th and 16th. On Tuesday the 15th, we get another 10ft SE groundswell with a very long 15-second period—combined energy is insane (4382). The wind is cross-shore from the ESE in the morning, but in the afternoon it shifts cross-off from the SSE, leaving it clean. For a reef, that’s a dream setup. Still big at 10ft, so experts only. Wednesday the 16th is the real gem—morning brings 3ft from the ENE with offshore SW wind (6 mph), clean as glass, and the afternoon is 2ft from the E with a 15-second period and offshore SSW wind. Combined energy is 250 to 419. It’s small, but with that offshore wind and glassy surface, it’s perfect for a longboard or a fun session. The water is still warm. That Wednesday is the best of the lot for the everyday surfer.

Takegashima is an exposed reef that loves swell from the east (optimum is east), and those SE and E swells with clean offshore wind are your ticket. Crowds can show up here sometimes, especially when it’s good, so expect a few mates in the water on the standouts. Overall, don’t waste time on the first week—it’s a dud. The second week has two clear windows: the big stuff on the 11th for experts, and the clean little waves on the 16th for everyone.

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.
