The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at what’s coming our way. We’re talking Hakashita, a reef setup that needs a decent SE swell to really wake up. It’s an inconsistent spot, so when it’s on, you’ve gotta pay attention, but when it’s not, there’s nothing. The water temp is sitting at a pretty normal 84°, so about average for this time of year.
We’re starting off with a bit of a rough patch. Thursday the 3rd has some chest-high at 6 ft from the SE, but that’s a short-period 10-second windswell, and with a cross-shore NE breeze, it’s going to be messy. The combined energy is moderate at 835, but it’s not worth paddling out for.
Friday the 4th is a write-off. Morning shows a bigger 8 ft SSE swell, but the period is still short at 10 seconds, and with moderate rain and an onshore element, it’s just a lumpy mess. The afternoon gets worse: 35 km/h NNE winds cross-off, dropping the swell to 6 ft. The energy drops to 645, but it’s a total washout with heavy rain. Don’t bother.
Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th are flat and funky. Waist-to-shoulder high at best, with short 8-second periods and constant cross-shore winds. The energy stays in the 353 to 515 range. Not worth the drive.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Monday the 7th morning: a solid 10 ft easterly swell with a nice long 11-second period rolls in. The combined energy is pumping at 2311 – strong, powerful stuff. The wind is a clean cross-off from the north. This is a standout, but listen – 10 ft on a reef is expert territory. Only for the skilled crew. If you’re not on it, stay on the beach and watch.
Tuesday the 8th morning has a clean drop to 5 ft from the east, 10-second period, with a light cross-off breeze. Energy is down to 482, but the conditions are clean and the swell is still fun for intermediates. A good, mellow morning session.
Wednesday the 9th morning is a real gem. Glassy, offshore W wind at 5 km/h, 4 ft from the ESE with a 9-second period. Combined energy is low at 304, but with clean, glassy conditions and a fun little wave, it’s a great pick for a longboard or a fish. Crowds are possible, but it’s mid-week, so you might have it quiet.
After that, it’s a long stretch of mediocrity. Thursday the 10th through to Sunday the 13th sees small waves – mostly waist-high or below – with a mix of clean and choppy conditions. The energy dips under 500, and there’s a storm risk on the weekend. Not much to write home about.
Then, out of nowhere, we get another nice little window. Tuesday the 15th morning has 5 ft from the east, 8 seconds, with a clean cross-off breeze. Then the afternoon goes glassy – 5 ft from the ESE, 9 seconds, and the wind drops to a glassy calm. Combined energy is a modest 386, but it’s going to be smooth and fun.
Wednesday the 16th morning is flat calm and glassy – 4 ft from the ESE, 9 seconds, with zero wind. Another little clean session for the easy-going surfer.
But the real late-period standout is Thursday the 17th afternoon. Glassy conditions with a 4 ft southerly swell, but a 10-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 617 – moderate, but the key here is that the wind is completely glassy from the NNW. It’s going to be a beautiful, clean end-of-day session.
And then Friday the 18th morning: flat calm, glassy, and a 6 ft easterly swell with a short 7-second period. Energy is 645. It’s not the most powerful, but glassy conditions and chest-high waves are hard to beat for a fun morning.
Overall, the two true standouts are Monday the 7th morning for the big, powerful 10 ft easterly swell with clean cross-off winds – that’s the one for the experts. And for everyone else, Wednesday the 9th morning and Tuesday the 15th afternoon are your best bets for clean, glassy, easy-going waves. The rest is mostly small and messy.

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.
