The Lowdown

Alright, listen up. This is a tough one. Asakawa is a point break, and it's inconsistent, so we're not going to see much action right away. The water is running a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, coming in at 84.4°F.

The first few days are a write-off. Wednesday and Thursday are a complete mess of storms and poor conditions.

Thursday afternoon, the 3rd of September, things start to look a little better. We've got a clean 3.9ft S/SE swell at 10 seconds, and with a light NNE cross-offshore breeze, it's going to be tidy. The wave energy is moderate (342). It's not a standout, but it's the first time you can paddle out without feeling like you're in a washing machine.

Friday morning, the 4th, gets a bit more interesting. The swell bumps up to 6.2ft from the SSE, period is still 10 seconds, and the wind is still a clean NNE cross-off. The energy is starting to kick (645). It's a solid, fun size for a point like this, and the conditions will be clean, so it's a window.

The real standout, though, is Wednesday, the 9th of September. The morning session is the pick of the whole 16-day run. The swell is a solid 11.5ft from the SE, period is a long 13 seconds, and the wind is variable, going glassy. That's a groundswell with serious energy (4209). The conditions are excellent, but I'd warn you, over 8ft, this is for experts only. That long period is going to grind beautifully down this point.

The afternoon of the 9th is still good, with 9.8ft from the SE at 12 seconds and a clean cross-off, but it's not quite as perfect as the morning.

After that, it drops off. There's a small window on the 13th and 14th of September with glassy conditions and clean 4.3ft to 5.6ft ESE swell, perfect for a beginner or a longboard. The energy is moderate (around 400-476).

The second week has one more big spike on the 16th of September, with an 11.5ft SE swell, but it's a bit of a messy one with onshore winds, so it's less certain. The 17th of September has a cleaner 7.5ft SE swell with a strong offshore wind, but it's still not as clean as the 9th.

So, for the best on offer, you have to wait. The absolute standout is Wednesday morning, the 9th of September. Get your big wave board, because that's a heavy, serious session. The Friday morning before that, the 4th, is your next best bet for a cleaner, slightly smaller day.

Information about the Asakawa Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Asakawa provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Asakawa can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Asakawa 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 (Asakawa) 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 Asakawa 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.
