The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the surf ahead for Hakashita. This reef setup is seeing a real slow start, with only tiny swell and tricky conditions for the first week and a half, but there’s a pulse of serious energy building for the second week.
For the first few days, from Thursday the 23rd through to Friday the 1st of August, it’s mostly a waiting game. We’re looking at small waves, around 1 ft to 2 ft, coming out of the east and southeast. The swell energy is weak (between 29 and 98), and the periods are all over the place. The mornings do offer some glassy conditions, which is nice, but with waves that small and inconsistent, you’re not missing much. Afternoons tend to get a bit of a breeze or cross-onshore wind, making things even more ordinary. The water temperature feels about average for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
The standout window starts on Sunday the 2nd of August. That morning, things change for the better. We get a clean, glassy 2 ft east swell with a solid 16-second period. The energy jumps up to moderate (251), and with the offshore wind being calm, those little lines should be peeling nicely on the reef. This is the best bet for beginners or anyone looking to get a few fun ones.
Then, on Monday the 3rd, the swell really starts to kick in. We’re looking at a 6 ft east swell in the morning, building to 7 ft by the afternoon, with a 16 to 17 second period. This is getting into intermediate territory, and with a cross-shore wind, it’s not perfect but still has plenty of push.
The real highlight for experienced surfers comes on Tuesday the 4th of August. Early morning, glassy calm conditions, with a solid 8 ft east swell and a very long 18-second period. The energy is strong (3565). That’s a proper groundswell, set to hit the reef. The wind is dead calm for a clean sunrise session. This one is for the confident crew only – with that size and period, it’ll be powerful.
Wednesday the 5th still has plenty of size, around 6 ft east swell (1732 energy), with glassy conditions again in the morning. Still good for experts, but the swell is easing.
After that, the waves back down quickly into the back half of the week, finishing up small again by Friday the 7th.
So, the call is: hang tight through the early flat spell. Sunday the 2nd morning is your best for smaller, clean waves. For the big stuff, Tuesday the 4th morning is the standout – glassy, powerful, and well overhead on the reef. That’s the session to circle on the calendar.
Stay stoked,
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.
