The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’ve got a solid run of surf on the way at Hakashita, but it’s not for the faint of heart. The water is sitting at 84°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The week kicks off with some serious energy.
Sunday morning (September 6th) is a mixed bag. The swell is 7 ft from the east, with a combined energy of 745 (moderate wave energy), but the wind is a cross-off from the NNE at 15 mph. It’s clean, but that’s a big, powerful wave for a reef break. The afternoon jumps up to 12 ft from the ENE, and the energy skyrockets to 4502 (very strong wave energy). That’s a massive groundswell with a 10-second period, but the wind is still cross-off. This is expert territory - over 8 ft, so beginners, stay on the beach. This is the standout session for the brave.
Monday morning (September 7th) drops to 5 ft from the ENE, with a clean cross-off breeze and 610 energy (moderate). Conditions are very good, but the wind is a bit stronger at 9 mph. The afternoon gets messy - 3 ft, cross-shore wind, and poor surf.
Tuesday (September 8th) is small again, 4 ft to 4 ft from the SSE, with clean conditions and gentle winds. Good for a longboard, but nothing to write home about.
Wednesday (September 9th) sees a tiny bump - 5 ft from the ESE in the morning with a light cross-off, and then the afternoon turns glassy with 4 ft from the same direction. That’s a rare treat, but the swell is weak.
Thursday (September 10th) through Saturday (September 12th) is small, inconsistent, and mostly clean but weak. The Saturday afternoon has a 14-second period from the east, but it’s only 2 ft - that’s a long-period groundswell that’ll be lined up at the reef, but it’s tiny.
Sunday (September 13th) brings a nice pulse: 4 ft from the south with a 11-second period, and 536 energy (moderate). The wind is cross-off and clean. That’s a solid morning session for intermediates.
Monday (September 14th) is a write-off - poor surf and cross-shore wind.
Tuesday (September 15th) jumps back up to 7 ft from the east, but it’s cross-on and choppy. That’s a messy, powerful swell (1005 energy - strong). Not nice.
Wednesday (September 16th) is the best of the second week. The morning is glassy, 5 ft from the east, with a 10-second period and 520 energy (moderate). That’s clean, fun, and manageable. The afternoon goes onshore, so catch it early.
From Thursday (September 17th) onward, it drops off a cliff. The swell fades to 3 ft and then 1 ft, with very weak energy (under 100). The wind is variable, and there’s nothing to get excited about. The last few days are flat, with tiny 1 ft waves and no energy. This is a long gap of poor surf from the 17th all the way to the end of the forecast.
Best on offer: Sunday morning (September 6th) for the big, powerful east swell if you’re an expert, and Wednesday morning (September 16th) for a glassy, clean session on a manageable 5 ft wave. The rest is either too big, too small, or too windy.
Keep it salty,
Rusty

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.
