The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s going on at Hakashita.
Right off the bat, the first few days are a grind. Wednesday, August 19th, you’ve got a tiny 3ft east swell with a short 8-second period and cross-on wind. Not worth getting wet. Thursday morning the 20th cleans up to glassy with a 2ft swell, but it’s weak. You might squeeze a few, but nothing exciting.
Friday morning the 21st is the first real highlight. A 3ft south swell at 9 seconds, glassy conditions, and the water temp is 84°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. The wave energy is moderate (209). It’s small, but clean. Not a standout, but the best of the early run.
The weekend is mostly poor with small south swell and onshore winds. Monday the 24th afternoon brings a 4ft southeast swell with a 15-second period—proper groundswell with strong energy (614)—but the wind is cross-on, so it’s a bit messy. Still, the long period means better shape.
Tuesday the 25th morning is where it gets real. 8ft southeast swell, 16-second period, cross-offshore wind, clean. That’s a powerful groundswell with very strong energy (3245). This is for experienced surfers only. The reef will handle the long period well, and with offshore wind, it’ll be proper. This is a true standout. Crowds are possible, so get out early.
Wednesday the 26th pushes bigger to 12ft–15ft, but the wind turns onshore with storms. The energy is massive (6986 to 11793), but it’s blown out. Skip it.
From Thursday the 27th through the 28th, the swell goes huge—18ft to 23ft—with onshore gales. Too big for paddling. Looks more like a kite session.
The swell backs down over the weekend of the 30th and 31st, with 5ft to 8ft southeast swell. Monday the 31st morning is clean with cross-offshore wind and a 7ft southeast swell at 14 seconds, offering strong energy (1846). Another good session for experienced surfers, though the afternoon gets choppy.
Then September arrives. Tuesday the 1st is the absolute standout. Morning glass, 13ft southeast swell at 14 seconds, exceptionally clean, with massive energy (6497). Expert territory only, but unforgettable. Wednesday the 2nd still delivers a 10ft south swell with glassy morning, and Thursday the 3rd brings a 6ft south swell and clean glass. Plenty to get excited about.
Signing off, 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.
