The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s break down what’s on the table for Hakashita. It’s a reef setup that’s exposed to swell, so it can pull in energy, but it’s inconsistent and crowds are possible when it’s good. The water temp is sitting right on average at 83°F, nothing unusual there.

We’re looking at a slow start. Sunday the 23rd, you’ve got tiny 2ft swell from the east with a period around 10 seconds. The morning is glassy, which is rare, but the energy is weak (134) – it’s really just a knee-high dribble. Not worth getting wet for. Afternoon gets worse with onshore wind and poor conditions.

Monday the 24th, the swell bumps up a notch. Morning shows 3ft from the southeast with a longer 13-second period, but it’s cross-shore wind and the energy is moderate (425). Marginal at best. Monday afternoon, the swell jumps to 6ft from the southeast, period stretching to 16 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy, and the combined energy is strong at 1584. But the wind is cross-on, so the surface will be textured. It’s a tease.

Tuesday the 25th is the standout of the whole run. This is the one. Tuesday morning brings 13ft of southeast groundswell with a 16-second period – massive, powerful energy at 8868. Winds are light and cross-shore. That’s serious size, expert-only territory. It’s going to be heavy, but if you’re confident on a reef, this is the session to aim for. Tuesday afternoon stays big at 15ft (energy 9142), wind stays cross-shore but picks up a touch. Still, the morning is the cleanest window.

Wednesday the 26th, the swell drops a fraction but is still huge: 15ft in the morning from the south-southeast, period 14 seconds, energy 8111. Unfortunately, moderate rain and cross-on wind will chop it up. Afternoon sees 13ft with energy 5468, still cross-on, still messy. This is a day for the tow crew or the kamikaze, not a relaxing paddle.

Thursday the 27th, the swell backs down to 8ft in the morning with a shorter 9-second period (energy 979) and onshore wind – poor. But keep an eye on Thursday afternoon: 6ft from the southeast, period dropping to 8 seconds, but it goes glassy. The combined energy is moderate (692), and it’s clean. That could be a fun, smaller window for intermediates after the chaos.

Friday the 28th, morning is 6ft from the south-southeast, cross-shore wind, energy 665 – a bit messy. But Friday afternoon, glassy conditions return with 6ft and energy 628. That’s a clean, rideable option.

Saturday the 29th morning is the best clean conditions we get after the big swells: 6ft, south-southeast, dead calm and glassy, energy 616. That’s a beautiful morning for the reef. Afternoon turns onshore, so get out early.

From Sunday the 30th, the swell fades significantly. Tiny 3ft (170 energy) and glassy in the morning, but it’s weak. Monday the 31st sees a new pulse of south-southeast groundswell at 4ft in the morning, period 13 seconds, energy 655, with cross-shore wind – a decent option for a longboard or a fun mid-length.

Into the first week of September, we see another solid pulse. Tuesday September 1st, morning swell hits 8ft from the south-southeast, period 13 seconds, energy 2066, with light cross-shore wind. That’s 8ft – big for intermediate skill, but clean enough to be worth a look. Wednesday September 2nd, the swell holds around 8ft from the south, but winds are up to 12 mph cross-shore, making it choppy. That’s more of a grunter.

After that, things go downhill fast. The second week is unreliable: small swells, poor winds, and by the 5th of September, we’re looking at gale-force winds from the south and southeast, blowing everything out. Saturday the 5th is a write-off with 43 mph winds onshore.

The very end of the run, Sunday the 7th of September, shows a glimmer: 6ft from the east-southeast with a clean, cross-offshore wind in the morning (523 energy). That could be a fun little cleanup set, but it’s a long way out.

Final word: The absolute best is Tuesday the 25th in the morning. It’s big, it’s powerful, and it’s clean. If you’re a strong surfer on a reef, that’s your day. For the rest of the run, the smaller glassy windows on the 27th afternoon, 28th afternoon, and 29th morning offer clean but much smaller waves. Don’t expect much in the second week – it’s a gamble.

Stay safe out there, and don’t be a hero on that 15ft day if you’re not ready.

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.
