Alright crew, Rusty here. Let's size up Takegashima.
We're looking at a slow start. Saturday, July 4th through Monday morning, July 6th is a total flat spell. Tiny 1ft swells from the ESE with zero energy. Just “poor surf conditions” across the board.
Monday afternoon, July 6th shows a pulse to about 3ft from the SE with a 14-second period. Offshore wind from the SW at 12 mph will keep it clean, but it’s only an average wave.
The real standout is Wednesday morning, July 8th. We’ve got a solid 6ft swell out of the SSE with an 18-second period – proper groundswell. The wind is glassy from the ESE at only 3 mph. For an advanced reef like Takegashima, that’s a magic combo. Water temp is about 76°, right around average. That’s your session.
Thursday July 9th and Friday July 10th get huge – 11ft to 15ft from the SSE and S with insane energy. This is expert-only territory. The winds are light but not perfect. Heavy, powerful reef waves.
From Saturday July 11th right through to July 19th, it’s back to flat and small. A couple of tiny pulses, like Sunday afternoon the 12th with a 4ft S swell and clean winds, but nothing with real punch.
So for the full 16 days, it’s all about Wednesday morning, July 8th. Everything else is a long wait or way too big.
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.
