Hakashita Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, let’s talk about what’s coming up at Hakashita. This is a reef break that’s inconsistent, so it can be a bit of a tease, but when it lines up, it’s a lovely little wave. The water temp is sitting right on 83°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year.

We’ve got a bit of a slow start to the period. The first real surf to get excited about is on the morning of Saturday the 15th. It’s glassy, with some clouds, and the swell is a clean 3 ft from the east, period around 10 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 219, so it’s not a powerhouse, but the conditions are perfect for a fun session. The wind is a light 3 mph from the SSE, keeping it glassy. The afternoon turns onshore, so make the most of the morning.

Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th are pretty much the same story – morning glass-offs with 3 ft east swell, moderate energy, and clean conditions. The wind is calm or light easterly, so it’s a good run of small, clean waves. The afternoons are a write-off with onshore wind.

Things get a bit more interesting on the morning of Friday the 21st. The swell jumps up to 6 ft from the SSE, period 10 seconds, and the combined energy is strong at 786. The wind is light from the south at 3 mph, keeping it glassy. This is a standout window – solid, clean surf for experienced surfers. The afternoon turns onshore, so get in early.

The morning of Saturday the 22nd is still decent, with 5 ft from the south and glassy conditions, but it’s a step down from Friday.

Now, looking further out, the morning of Monday the 24th brings a serious pulse. Swell is 5 ft from the ESE, but the period is a very long 18 seconds, and the combined energy is massive at 1737. This is a long-period groundswell. At a reef break like Hakashita, this could be phenomenal, but it’s a bit of a wait-and-see situation. The wind is light cross-shore, so it’s not perfect, but the energy is there.

The real standout of the whole run is the morning of Tuesday the 25th. We’ve got 7 ft of east swell, period 13 seconds, and the combined energy is a huge 1625. The wind is calm, glassy as it gets. The water temp is still in the normal range. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers, and given the consistency, it’s a rare treat. The 25th morning is the one to circle on the calendar.

The rest of the second week sees a gradual drop in size, with some glassy mornings on the 27th and 30th offering small, clean waves, but nothing to get too fired up about.
