The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here, with a look at what Takegashima has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.

First up, we gotta be real: this reef setup is for the advanced crew only. It's consistent, it's exposed, and it wants swell from the east to really fire. The water temp is sitting at 82°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

For the next week and a half, honestly, it's a bit of a snoozer. We've got a long stretch from now through the end of July with tiny, weak waves. There's a bit of a SE energy rolling in around the 25th and 26th, with a combined energy reading of 137 and 169 (moderate), but the swell heights are hovering around 1 ft. The period gets up around 15 to 16 seconds, which is a long-period groundswell, but at that size it's just not doing much on this reef. The wind is glassy or light most mornings, which would be perfect if there was any real push. But there isn't. It's more of a float session than a surf.

Then things change. We're looking at Saturday, August the 1st, as the standout window. The morning starts off with glassy conditions and a clean 3 ft groundswell from the ESE pushing through with a 16-second period and a combined energy of 474 (strong). The afternoon is even better, with the swell bumping up to 4 ft from the east, same long period, and energy jumping to 717 (very strong). Winds are light and cross-offshore, keeping it clean. This is the pick of the whole forecast – a proper session on the cards.

And it doesn't stop there. Sunday, August the 2nd, sees the swell peak. The morning is a bit suspect with onshore wind, but the afternoon is where you want to be. We're talking 5 ft of east swell at an 18-second period, with an energy reading of 1651 (extremely strong). Winds are glassy. This is excellent, but at that size, it's definitely one for the experienced crew only. That long-period east swell on a reef like this is going to be a proper, powerful ride.

Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th keep the swell going with 5 ft to 4 ft of east energy, but the winds get a little messy on Monday with cross and cross-on elements. Tuesday morning looks glassy again and is another good call for those who like it a touch smaller.

After that, it starts to fade quickly, dropping back to tiny knee-high leftovers by Wednesday the 5th.

So, to wrap it up: a long stretch of nothing, then a cracking few days right at the start of August. The absolute best is Saturday the 1st afternoon and Sunday the 2nd afternoon for the bigger, more powerful stuff. Get on it.

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.
