The Lowdown

G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've got some good news and some bad news. The bad news is the next week or so is pretty much a write-off. The good news is that a proper swell is on the horizon, and it's going to be a cracker for the crew who can handle it.

The forecast starts quiet, real quiet. From Sunday the 19th right through to the morning of Saturday the 26th, it's all small, weak waves. We're talking ankle to knee-high slop, mostly around 0.7 ft to 1 ft, with combined swell energy barely cracking 100 (33 to 156). The wind is mostly light or glassy, which is a tease, but there's just no power in the water. You'd be better off cleaning the wax off your board than paddling out. There's a little spike on Friday the 24th with a very long period swell (18 seconds) coming in from the SE, but the height is a measly 1.0 ft, so it's just a flat, weak line.

Then, things change. Monday the 27th is the first day we see some real life. The swell jumps to 3 ft in the morning, and by the afternoon it's a solid 3 ft from the S, with a period of 13 to 14 seconds. The energy starts to build, hitting 406 on Monday morning and 568 by the afternoon. The wind is offshore (SSW) and clean, making for a proper session. This is when the run starts.

Now, the real standout is Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th. This is for the big dogs only. On Tuesday morning, we're looking at 8 ft from the S, and by the afternoon it jumps to a solid 10 ft. Wednesday morning holds the same size at 10 ft. The period is a pumping 15 seconds, so this is pure groundswell, and the combined energy is massive—2623 on Tuesday morning, going up to 3866 on Wednesday morning. The wind is offshore and clean, holding out of the SSW. This is a serious, powerful swell that will be barrelling at Takegashima. This is a reef break, so it's built for this kind of long-period energy. Be warned, at over 8 ft, this is expert territory only. You'll need to know your line-up and have your wits about you. The water temp is sitting at 83°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.

The window closes fast. By Wednesday afternoon the 29th, the swell nosedives back to 1.0 ft, and the energy drops to 26. The rest of the forecast from Thursday the 30th through to Monday the 3rd of August is back to tiny, weak conditions, mostly under 1.0 ft, with poor surf.

So, the call is simple. The best on offer is Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th at Takegashima. That's the one to circle on the calendar. It's a big, powerful, clean swell, but it's not for the faint-hearted. The morning of Monday the 27th is also a good, more manageable session to get the blood flowing.

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.
