The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Takegashima over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the first week is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a long stretch from Friday the 4th right through to Tuesday the 8th where the conditions are just messy. Onshore winds, some rain, and the swell is either small or poorly directed, so the surf quality is poor. You’re best off giving it a miss until things settle.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Wednesday the 9th. That morning, the wind goes glassy, and we see a solid 8 ft swell from the SSE with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is strong (1306), and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is a proper reef break, so the long-period groundswell will wrap in nicely, but it’s way too big for beginners. The afternoon pushes up to 10 ft from the same direction, with even more energy (1849) and still glassy. This is the standout session of the whole outlook – a real power session for the crew who know what they’re doing. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, no major anomaly to report.
After that, the swell drops off quickly. Thursday the 10th morning has a small 4 ft SSE swell, glassy again, so it’s worth a look if you want a cruisy session, but it’s not the same beast. The afternoon turns nasty with a strong SSW cross-off wind and a risk of thunderstorms, so that morning window is the only goer.
Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th are small and messy, with poor surf conditions again. There’s a bit of a run from Sunday the 13th to Monday the 14th where the swell picks up to 6 ft to 6 ft from the ESE, but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making it marginal. Not worth getting excited about.
The second week stays quiet. Tuesday the 15th through to the end of the forecast period on Saturday the 19th offers nothing but tiny, weak swell and mostly poor conditions. The standout is definitely Wednesday the 9th, and maybe a cheeky glassy session on the morning of Thursday the 10th. Otherwise, it’s a long wait for the next proper pulse.

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.
