The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. Rusty here with the full rundown. The next couple of weeks starts slow, really slow, but there’s a monster waiting at the end of it.
The first few days are just filler. From the 30th of August through the 4th of September, we've got small, short-period swell and bumpy, cross-onshore winds. It's surfable, but you’ll be scratching for waves. Not worth rushing out for.
Once we hit the 5th of September, the ocean takes a breather. It goes almost completely flat for a stretch of a few days there. It’s a proper lull, and you’re looking at knee-high mush and poor wind. If you’re not a patient surfer, this is the time to fix your gear or run some errands. It ain’t gonna last forever.
Things start to change around the 8th and 9th. The swell starts filling in from the southeast, and the wind drops. By the morning of Wednesday the 9th, we get a clean 1.9m swell with a 10-second period and glassy conditions. That’s a good, solid wave for intermediate and up.
Now, here’s where it gets exciting. The big boys show up on Saturday the 12th of September. Overnight, the swell jumps to a 3.5m beast from the SSE, with a 12-second period and flat, glassy conditions. The energy is roaring at 6577. That is a serious, powerful, reef-sorting wave. This is for experts only.
And it doesn’t stop there. The next morning, Sunday the 13th, it gets even bigger. We’re talking a massive 5.0m swell from the south, again with a long 12-second period and glassy conditions. The energy reading is off the scale at 6072. This is the big one. Hakashita is a reef break, so it will handle this size, but this is a heavy, dangerous wave. Beginners, stay well away. The water temp is a warm 29° at the start, which is about normal for the season, so you'll be comfortable in boardshorts.
So, mark those two mornings, the 12th and the 13th of September, as the absolute standouts. Huge swell, long period, and clean conditions. It doesn’t get any better. After that punch, it fades back to small and weak by Monday the 14th, so you gotta be on it when it peaks.
That’s the picture. Get after it.
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.
