The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. To be straight with you, the first week is a proper struggle. We’ve got a long, flat spell ahead. From Sunday the 19th through to Saturday the 26th, it’s pretty much a write-off. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1ft to 2ft, and the energy is weak – you’re looking at values between 49 and 110 (combined energy). The conditions are ordinary, with a lot of onshore or cross-onshore winds and plenty of poor surf reports. There are a few glassy mornings, like Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st, but the waves are just too small to get excited about. It’s a real tester of patience.
Now, things start to change around Monday the 27th of July. A proper pulse of energy arrives. The swell jumps to 6ft from the SE with a very long period of 15 seconds, and the combined energy hits 1332 – that’s strong. The wind is a light cross-shore, which is workable. This is a significant groundswell with that long period, so it’ll be better shaped and have more punch, but at a reef break like Hakashita, it should hold up well. Tuesday the 28th looks like the standout day. We’re looking at a solid 12ft swell from the SE, again with a 16-second period, and the energy is pumping at 5619 (very strong). The wind is a light cross-shore, so it’ll be clean. That’s a powerful, big swell – over 8ft, so this is expert territory only. It’s going to be a beast.
However, by Wednesday the 29th, the wind turns nasty. We’ve got a strong cross-onshore at 25 mph and rain, which will trash the surf. Thursday the 30th brings a strong offshore wind from the NW at 31 mph, but that makes it incredibly hard to paddle into, and the swell drops back to 6ft. After that, the energy fades away again into the first few days of August, with small, weak swells returning.
So, the clear standout is Tuesday the 28th of July. If you’re an experienced surfer and you can handle serious size, that’s your window. The swell is big, the period is long, and the wind is light and cross-shore. It’s a big, powerful groundswell, so expect some lulls between sets, but the waves that do come through will be quality. Hakashita is a reef break, so it’s inconsistent, but when it’s on, it’s on. Crowds are possible here, so get there early.

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.
