Table - best surf conditions forecast for Hakashita over the next 16 days.
Right, let’s break down what’s coming for Hakashita over the next couple of weeks. It’s a reef break, takes swell well, but it’s an inconsistent spot, so you need to pick your moments. Water temp is 78°, a touch cooler than normal for the season.
Wednesday the 8th sees the first push of energy, a solid 8ft SE groundswell filling in. The energy’s up there at 3414 (moderate to strong), but the wind is a light 6 mph SE breeze right onshore, so expect some bump. Things ramp up from Thursday morning with the swell holding around 10ft from the SE and SSE, but it’s cross-on with light winds – surfable but not clean.
The absolute standout is Friday the 10th. We’ve got a big, powerful SSE groundswell building from 13ft in the morning to 15ft in the afternoon. The period is a very long 17 seconds, real deep-water groundswell. The combined energy is massive, hitting 9411 in the morning and a huge 10578 in the afternoon (strong to very strong). Winds stay light and cross-on from the east, so it’ll be a little textured. This is for experts only – anything over 8ft is getting serious, and over 15ft is heavy. That long period will make it grind on the reef with big gaps between sets.
Saturday the 11th holds size with 13ft from the south in the morning, easing to 12ft in the afternoon, but still with that light cross wind. Sunday morning the 12th looks clean – the swell drops to 7ft from the south, and it’s glassy, dead calm. That’s a nice window for a clean reef session.
Then it fades fast. Monday the 13th drops below 5ft, and from Tuesday the 14th through to Friday the 17th, we’re stuck with weak, small, and poor conditions. A long stretch of nothing.
A second pulse shows up Sunday the 19th. The morning looks best with 8ft from the east and glassy winds, offering clean, fun waves. Monday the 20th has some size around 7ft, but the wind goes cross-on. Tuesday the 21st morning is clean again with 5ft and glassy conditions, but then it fades away to small stuff for the rest of the week.
So, bottom line: Friday the 10th is the big one – serious size, serious power, experts only. Sunday the 19th morning is your pick for cleaner, more user-friendly waves.

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.
