The Lowdown
Alright mate, settle in, 'cause it's gonna be a bit quiet before the lights come on. The next week or so is lookin' pretty sad. But let me tell you, there's something proper brewing for early August.
From right now through the end of July, it's mostly tiny dribble. Hakashita's an inconsistent reef break that only really works with a solid SE direction, and we just aren't seeing it. There are a few mornings, like Thursday 23rd and Friday 24th July, with glassy conditions and tiny ankle-high waves, but the combined swell energy is weak. The period is all over the place, too – you'll get some long period groundswell on Friday (18 seconds), but it's only 1ft, so it's not doing anything useful. The water temp is about 83°, which is normal for this time of year, so at least you won't need a thick suit. The afternoon sea breezes are pretty ordinary, so it's mostly a morning-only game, and even then it's a scratch session.
There's a real gap with no solid recommendations from now all the way through to the end of the month, so you've got a solid week of nothin' much. Might be a good time to check the dings in your board.
Then, things change, and I mean *change*. The first sign of life comes on Sunday morning the 2nd of August. The swell jumps to 3ft from the ESE with a juicy 15-second period. The combined energy is moderate, and conditions are glassy. That's your first proper sniff. The afternoon gets a bit onshore, but the morning window looks fun.
Then brace yourself, because Monday the 3rd of August through Wednesday the 5th of August looks absolutely pumping. It's a classic East swell, which is near the optimum for this spot. Get this:
- Monday morning the 3rd: 6-7ft from the East, 17-second period, glassy. The combined energy is strong. This is excellent for experienced surfers. Way too big for beginners.
- Tuesday morning the 4th: 10ft from the East, 18-second period, glassy. This is exceptional for experts only, with massive energy. This is the standout of the whole outlook.
- Wednesday morning the 5th: Still 8ft from the East, 17-second period, glassy. Combined energy is still massive.
The only thing is, that long-period East swell is going to be a bit straight on a beach break, but for a reef setup like Hakashita, it's *prime*. The mornings are all offshore light winds, so it's going to be clean. The afternoons turn onshore, making it messy. And remember, this is a reef break that can get crowded, so if it's looking as good as it seems, expect some company in the lineup.
For the best on offer, it's Tuesday morning the 4th of August. No question. 10ft East swell, glassy, very long-period. That's a special one. Second best is probably Monday morning the 3rd. The swell does back off a touch after that, with Thursday the 6th still offering a solid 6-7ft and Friday the 7th dropping to 4-5ft. The long-range stuff looks promising, but as always, keep an eye on it because forecasts can and do change this far out.
So, for now, wait it out, and get yourself ready for a wild week from the 3rd.

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.
