The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, and I’m lookin’ at the next couple of weeks for Hakashita.
First off, the water temp here is sittin' right around 83°, which is bang on average for this time of year. No surprises there.
The outlook starts with a real quiet spell. From Friday the 24th of July right through to the end of the month, we’re lookin’ at tiny, weak waves. The swell’s barely 1 foot to 2 feet, mostly from the SE, with a bit of a pulse from the S on the 27th. The energy is weak – we’re talkin’ triple-digit numbers in the 90s and low 100s (94 to 156 for the combined energy). It’s surfable, but only just. The mornings are the better bet, with glassy conditions and light offshore breezes from the ENE, but the sets are few and far between. Inconsistent is the word. Afternoons get a bit of a sea breeze from the ESE or SE, and it goes pretty ordinary. There’s a gap of about a week and a half of this kind of meh, with a few days in the first week of August (Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th) seeing the swell nudge up to 3 feet to 3 feet from the ESE, with a bit more energy (140 to 222). Still, it’s nothin’ to get excited about. The energy is finally getting into the moderate range, but the waves are still small and the afternoons are messy.
Now, the real standout is the second week. Hold onto your board. From Wednesday the 5th of August, things get proper serious. The swell jumps to 8 feet from the ESE on Wednesday morning, with a *very long* period of 16 seconds. The energy is suddenly massive – 3713. This is a groundswell, and it’s a big one. This is only for experts. The wind is cross-shore, so it won’t be perfect, but it’s a big shift.
Then Thursday the 6th of August morning is the best on offer. Get this: 12 feet ESE swell, 17-second period, glassy as a mirror with a NNE wind. The combined energy is a whopping 7576. This is top-tier, heavy, powerful surf. The afternoon is still big at 13 feet, but a light cross-onshore wind creeps in, so the morning is the true window.
Friday the 7th of August morning is another absolute standout. 15 feet ESE swell, 17-second period, and a clean cross-offshore wind from the NNE. The energy is 11295. This is as good as it gets for a reef break, but it’s *big*. Over 8 feet, so experts only. The afternoon gets a strong 15 mph cross-wind from the NE, so it’ll get chopped.
And Saturday the 8th of August morning? The swell peaks at 16 feet from the E, with that same 17-second period, and glassy conditions with a light NW wind. The energy is an eye-watering 13022. This is a proper, solid, expert-only swell. The afternoon is still 16 feet, but with a cross-offshore wind from the N at 12 mph, which will keep it relatively clean.
So, the standout is the stretch from the 6th to the 8th of August. Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th mornings, with glassy or clean winds and massive, long-period groundswell, are the real pick. Just remember, it’s a reef break, and with that size and period, it’s for experienced surfers only. The mornings are your window before the afternoon breezes get up.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
