The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Hakashita.
We’ve got a bit of a rough start, I won’t lie. The first week is a real mixed bag of onshore winds and messy conditions, so you’ll have to be patient. The water temp is sitting at 84°F with a anomaly of just 0.7°F, so it’s bang on average for the time of year.
The first real window of opportunity doesn’t pop up until Saturday morning, the 29th of August. That morning we’ll see a tiny 2ft swell from the east with a long 12-second period. The real highlight though is the glassy conditions – dead calm, no wind, so it’ll be clean. But keep your expectations in check, this is an inconsistent reef break and the energy is weak (283). It’s a small window for a mellow session.
Sunday morning the 30th brings even smaller waves, around 2ft, but again, glassy conditions with a light NNE breeze. The energy is still weak (127). For a longboard or a funboard, it’ll be a nice paddle, but don’t expect much push.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. The real standout is a long way off, on Monday the 7th of September. That morning, we’re looking at a solid 15ft swell from the southeast with a long 13-second period. The combined energy is pumping (6584), and we’ve got light cross-offshore winds from the north-northeast. This is a big, powerful groundswell that will be pushing hard. Because the period is so long, it might be a bit too straight for a beach break, but at a reef like Hakashita, it could set up perfectly. This is for experts only, the size is serious.
The next morning, Tuesday the 8th of September, is another beauty. A 13ft swell from the southeast with an 11-second period, and the wind is glassy from the west-southwest. The energy is immense (6474). Again, it’s a big one, so you’ll want to be comfortable in heavy water.
The rest of the second week, into the 9th and 10th of September, has a few more decent mornings with 8ft to 12ft swell and glassy conditions, but the energy drops off a bit. The 7th and 8th are your true standouts, but they’re a long way out, so keep an eye on the forecasts.
There’s a long gap of poor surf and onshore wind through the first few days of September, so don’t hold your breath. The 2nd of September has a huge 15ft swell, but with strong onshore winds, it’s just a mess. Likely more interesting for the kite crew than paddle surfing.
Rusty out.

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.
