The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

First up, we’ve got Hakashita. This is a reef break that’s gonna see some serious size early on, but it’s not for the faint of heart. The water temp is sitting at a warm 84°F, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing too wild there.

The window kicks off Wednesday the 5th of August. We’re looking at a solid 15 ft to 16 ft swell from the ESE, with a very long period of 16 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell. The energy is huge – we’re talking 9825 to 13025 (moderate to strong wave energy). But here’s the rub: the wind is a cross-shore at 9 mph, so it’s a bit lumpy. The surf is marginal, but for the experienced crew, that’s a big, powerful wave. The 16-second period means long gaps between sets, but when they come, they’ll be holding up well on this reef. It’s too big for beginners, and the crowds are possible here.

Thursday the 6th pushes even bigger. Morning sees 18 ft, and by the afternoon it’s a beastly 20 ft from the ESE with 15-second periods. The energy jumps to 12996 in the morning and a massive 16136 in the afternoon (strong to very strong wave energy). Wind picks up to 19-22 mph, cross-shore, making it lumpy. The forecast even says it’s too big for this break. This is expert-only territory, and honestly, with that much wind and size, it might be more interesting for the kite crew than paddle surfers. The swell direction is ESE, which is a touch off the optimum SE direction for this spot.

Friday the 7th is still big, with 21 ft in the morning from the SE, but the wind turns cross-onshore at 22 mph, making it a mess. By afternoon, it drops to 16 ft, but it’s still poor. The same story continues Saturday and Sunday – size backs off to 10 ft to 12 ft, but the wind is onshore, and the period drops, so the quality is poor. The energy drops too, down to 2175 to 5831 (moderate energy). Not worth paddling out.

We’ve got a gap in quality from the 8th through the 10th. Monday the 10th is still rough with onshore wind and a short period of 8 seconds.

A glimmer of hope appears on Tuesday the 11th. Swell drops to 6 ft from the SSE, period is 11 seconds, and the wind is onshore, but it’s marginal. Still not great.

But Wednesday the 12th of August is the standout. Morning glass-off! Wind is from the east at just 3 mph, glassy conditions. The swell is 4 ft from the east, with an 11-second period. Energy is 758 (moderate). This is the cleanest window of the whole forecast. The direction is a bit off the optimum SE, but with glassy conditions and that long period, the reef will be working nicely. It’s a small, clean wave – good for intermediates, and the crowd factor is possible. This is your best bet.

Thursday the 13th is also glassy in the morning, but the swell is only 3 ft from the ENE with 11 seconds. Energy is 400 (weak to moderate). Surfable but small.

After that, we’ve got a long stretch of tiny surf and poor conditions. From the 14th through the 17th, the swell hangs around 2 ft to 4 ft, winds are mostly onshore or cross, and the periods are short. Not much to write home about.

Then, on Tuesday the 18th of August, we get a clean window with a cross-offshore wind from the NNE at 9 mph. Swell is 5 ft from the east with a 9-second period. Energy is 491 (weak to moderate). It’s clean, but the period is a bit short. Later that afternoon, the period jumps to 19 seconds, but the swell drops to 3 ft from the SE. That’s a very long period groundswell, but it’s tiny. Could be interesting for a longboard on the reef.

Finally, Wednesday the 19th of August brings a solid pulse. 12 ft from the ESE with a 14-second period, and the wind is cross-offshore from the NNE at 12 mph. Energy is 5637 (moderate). It’s clean, but the size is back up into expert territory. The direction is again a bit off the optimum SE. The 14-second period will give it some push, but it’s a powerful wave.

So, to wrap it up: the best surf on offer is Wednesday the 12th of August, with those glassy conditions and a clean 4 ft groundswell. The second notable window is the 18th and 19th, but those are more for the experienced crew. The first week has some huge, messy swell, but the quality is poor for the most part.

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.

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.
