The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a hard look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the start of the run is a full-on write-off. We’re looking at a big, angry ocean for the first few days with a massive amount of energy in the water – we’re talking combined readings of 11366 and 9324 on Friday, and still over 3000 on Saturday morning. That’s a lot of power, but the wind is a total mess. Friday’s got a fresh cross-onshore bashing it around at 19 mph, and Saturday isn’t much better. The swell is just too big and too lumpy to even think about it. Sunday is a step down in size but still a bit of a mess with the wind. Not worth getting wet for.
The first real chance to paddle out looks like Monday the 10th. The swell is dropping right down to 5ft but the wind is swinging light from the NNE, giving us a clean surface. The swell is coming from the E at a nice long 13 seconds, which is proper groundswell. This is the best of a pretty average window, but don’t expect much push – the combined energy is only 961. It’s the most promising we’ve got.
Then Tuesday morning the 11th is a weird one – the wind goes dead calm, glassy, with a 4ft E swell at 12 seconds. The energy is low at 609, but for a super clean, small wave session, it’s your best bet. The break is Hakashita, a reef setup that can get a bit inconsistent, so don’t expect a conveyor belt. It’s an intermediate spot, so the small size will keep it friendly.
After that, we slide into a long, dull stretch. From the 12th right through to the 20th, it’s mostly small, weak, and messy. The wind is all over the place – onshore, cross-shore, a bit of rain and storms. There’s nothing that’s really going to get you excited. The swell drops to under 3ft, the energy readings are all below 600, and the direction is all over the shop. It’s a proper dry spell. You’d be better off waxing your board at home.
The very end of the outlook, around the 21st and 22nd of August, shows a tiny bit of hope. Saturday morning the 22nd has glassy conditions with a 3ft S swell at 10 seconds. The energy is weak at 241, but it’s clean. Again, it’s small and inconsistent, but if you’re desperate for a glide, it’s the only thing on the horizon. Don’t hold your breath.
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.
