Alright, Rusty here again, breaking it down in feet and miles per hour for those who think that way.
We’re looking at a 16-day window for Hakashita, a reef break that’s known to be inconsistent, but when it turns on, it’s no joke. Let’s get into it.
First real surf to talk about is Tuesday, July 7th. Tuesday morning is the one. Water temp is about normal for July, so no surprises there. You’ve got a clean 5 ft swell out of the SE, with a 14-second period – that’s proper groundswell energy (672). Winds are glassy out of the east at just 3 mph. That’s a recipe for clean, lined-up waves. It’s a little on the smaller side, perfect for intermediates, and the reef is exposed so it catches the swell well. Just keep in mind, this spot is inconsistent, and crowds are possible.
Tuesday afternoon goes south fast with storm risk and onshore wind, so hit that morning window.
The big standout of the entire outlook is Friday, July 10th. Friday morning serves up a 13 ft SSE swell with a 16-second period – that’s insane energy (8288). Wind is cross-onshore at 9 mph, keeping it from being absolutely perfect glass, but at that size, Hakashita is going to be holding massive, powerful barrels. This is for experts only – over 8 ft, so don’t even think about it if you’re not confident. The afternoon hits 15 ft from the south with an 18-second period (11675 energy) – just monstrous.
Saturday, July 11th, is still big, dropping into the 10-12 ft range but still cross-onshore.
Then it fades fast. From Sunday, July 12th onward, the swell drops below 6 ft and the quality tanks. The second week is small, weak waves (energy under 1000) with onshore and cross-onshore winds. By late July, the wind is howling at 22 mph and the swell is short-period and weak. Not worth the drive.
So, for you: Tuesday morning, July 7th is your clean, glassy, fun session. But the real score for the big dogs is Friday, July 10th – the biggest swell of the whole stretch, even if the wind is a bit sideways. Go get it.

Information about the Hakashita Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Hakashita provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Hakashita can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Hakashita 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 (Hakashita) 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 Hakashita 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.
Hakashita is 14 km (9 miles) from Takanabe. If you plan a holiday in Kyu Shu, look for hotels and other accommodation in Takanabe. Takanabe has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
