The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at Hakashita for you. It’s a reef setup that rarely gets good waves, and honestly, the next week and a half is pretty quiet. We’ve got a long gap here with nothing worth paddling out for, so let’s get real about it.
The whole first week is a dud. From Friday the 24th of July right through to the 3rd of August, the swell is tiny – we’re talking 1ft to 2ft, with periods all over the shop. The combined energy is weak, sitting between 38 and 164 (weak energy). There’s a few glassy moments on the 24th morning, the 26th morning, and the 28th morning, but the waves are just too small to get excited about. It’s surfable, but ordinary. You’d be scratching for scraps.
Now, things start to change around the 3rd of August. Monday afternoon the 3rd sees a little bump to 3ft from the ESE at 12 seconds, but it’s cross-onshore and the wave comment says it’s marginal. The energy picks up to 213 (moderate wave energy), but it’s still not worth the drive.
The standout window is way out there, and you’ve gotta be patient. From Tuesday the 4th of August, the swell starts to build. By Tuesday morning, we’ve got 6ft from the ESE with a 16-second period – that’s proper groundswell. The combined energy jumps to 1644 (strong wave energy). But here’s the catch: the wind is cross-shore, and it’s still labelled as marginal. Not clean enough to call it epic.
It gets better as the week goes on. Friday the 6th of August morning sees 8ft from the E at 16 seconds, with a cross-shore light breeze. The energy is 3750 (strong wave energy), and the score is climbing. But the real deal? Friday the 7th of August afternoon. We’ve got 13ft from the ESE at 18 seconds – that’s very long period groundswell. The wind swings offshore from the NNW at 16 mph, and the wave comment calls it clean. Combined energy is 8704 (very strong wave energy). This is the highlight for the whole 16-day run. The break is a reef, so long period groundswell like this will really line up, but at 13ft, this is only for experts. Beginners, stay on the beach.
Then Saturday the 8th of August is just huge. Morning shows 21ft, afternoon 25ft, both from the E at 19 seconds. Winds are cross-offshore and clean. Combined energy hits 30763 and 37402 (very strong wave energy). The wave comment says it’s too big for this break. Honestly, for paddle surfing, it’s gonna be a washing machine. If you’ve got a kite, this is looking more interesting than a surfboard.
So, the best on offer is hands-down Friday the 7th of August afternoon. Clean offshore wind, 13ft of very long period groundswell from the ESE, and that reef should handle it well. Just be ready for a crowd – it says “sometimes,” so it’s possible. And don’t forget, the water temperature is 83°F, which is about average for this time of year.
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.
