The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming up for Hakashita over the next couple of weeks.

The first half of the run is all about a building, then easing, pulse of SE groundswell. We’re looking at a dry spell for any proper waves right now, but things kick off later Sunday morning. The water’s sitting at a warm 83.3°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Sunday the 23rd morning, we get some small, clean waves rolling in. Swell is a modest 2ft from the east, with a period of 10 seconds. The wind is glassy from the ENE, so conditions are dead clean. The combined energy is weak (133), so it’s more of a longboard or foamy session than anything with punch. Sunday afternoon turns to junk as the wind swings onshore.

Monday the 24th morning sees a bump in size to 2.6ft from the SE, period 13 seconds, but the wind goes cross-shore, putting a bit of texture on it. Combined energy jumps to moderate (405), so there’s a little more push, but it’s still pretty average. The afternoon brings a bigger jump to 6.2ft from the SE, period 17 seconds, and energy leaps to 2224. That’s a solid groundswell pulse, but the cross-onshore wind kills it. Not a great session.

Now, Tuesday the 25th is where it gets serious. Morning sees a chunky 13.1ft swell from the SE, with a long 16-second period. Combined energy is massive at 8237 – that’s strong energy. Wind is light cross-shore from the NE, so while not perfect, it’s workable for the experienced crew. This is big for Hakashita, over 8ft, so this is experts-only territory. The afternoon holds similar size at 13.1ft, but the wind picks up to a gentle breeze, adding some chop. Still big, still powerful, still only for those who know what they’re doing.

Wednesday the 26th is still on the big side, with 11.5ft in the morning and 9.8ft in the afternoon from the SSE, but there’s a risk of thunderstorms and the cross-shore wind isn’t ideal. The energy is still strong, but the quality drops. Thursday the 27th drops in size and the wind goes onshore – surf is pretty messy.

Friday the 28th morning offers a glimmer with 9.8ft from the SSE and light cross-shore wind, but it’s still hefty. Combined energy is 3924, so plenty of power, but the afternoon gets chopped up by onshore wind. Saturday the 29th morning has a smaller 5.6ft from the SSE, and the wind goes glassy from the east. Combined energy is moderate at 544. This is a window of clean waves, but the period is short at 8 seconds, so it’s a bit crumbly. Still, it’s the most user-friendly conditions we’ve seen in a while.

Sunday the 30th morning is tiny at 3.6ft from the SE, with glassy conditions and no wind. The energy is weak (200) and the period is short (7 seconds), so it’s a limp end to the first week. A longboard might get you a glide, but that’s about it.

Monday the 31st morning sees a slight bump to 4.6ft from the SSE, period 9 seconds, with a nice cross-offshore wind from the NNE. The wave comment says it’s good, and the combined energy is 370, so it’s a clean, fun-sized morning for the intermediate surfer. The afternoon gets messy with onshore wind and a risk of thunderstorms.

We then hit a patch of onshore winds and building swell through Tuesday the 1st of September to Thursday the 3rd. The swell gets big again, up to 16.4ft by Friday the 4th morning, but the wind is howling onshore. Friday afternoon is a ridiculous 37.7ft from the SE with a 16-second period and a strong breeze – combined energy is a staggering 117256. That’s not surfable; that’s a washing machine. Definitely too big for this break.

Saturday the 5th of September is the real standout of the run. Morning sees a clean 6.6ft from the south, period 10 seconds, with a cross-offshore wind from the west. The combined energy is moderate at 1627, and the wave comment says it’s excellent for experienced surfers. This is the best window – clean, solid waves with good shape, and the wind is working with us. The afternoon stays clean, dropping to 4.6ft.

Sunday the 6th morning is glassy with 3ft from the south, period 11 seconds, and no wind. Energy is weak (310), but for a clean, small day it’s a nice way to finish. Monday the 7th morning is similar, with 2.6ft from the south and clean cross-offshore wind, but the afternoon gets choppy.

The standout here is Saturday the 5th of September morning. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. Big, clean, powerful, but not out of control for those with experience. The

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.
