Hakashita Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab your board, let’s talk about what’s coming up at Hakashita. This is a reef setup that’s exposed to the swell, so it can really light up when the conditions line up. Right now, the water’s sitting at 83°F, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there. The spot’s inconsistent, so when it’s on, you gotta be ready.

We start off slow. Monday afternoon the 7th has some 5ft swell from the east, but a cross-shore wind keeps it a bit messy. The combined energy is moderate at 531, but it’s not the one to rush out for.

Tuesday the 8th looks a bit better – morning has clean 4ft easterly swell with a nice cross-offshore wind from the north, energy at 382. That’s a solid morning session if you’re keen. Afternoon picks up to 6ft from the southeast with a clean cross-off breeze, but it’s only a 7-second period, so the waves might be a bit fat and wobbly.

Wednesday morning the 9th is a real standout for the early run – light offshore wind from the WNW, clean 5ft southeast swell at 8 seconds, energy 280. That’s a glassy, clean morning, and for an inconsistent reef, that’s a window you take. Afternoon gets messy again with rain and a cross-shore.

Thursday and Friday (10th and 11th) are small and ordinary – waist to chest-high at best, with clean conditions but no real punch. The combined energy drops below 200. Not worth paddling out for unless you’re desperate. Friday afternoon goes glassy with 3ft but it’s just too small.

Saturday the 12th is a write-off – tiny 2ft waves with a long 14-second period. That long period means it’ll just flatten out on this reef. Don’t bother.

Sunday the 13th shows a glimmer – clean 3ft easterly swell, but the energy jumps to 298. Still small, but the morning might offer a sneaky fun one with a light cross-off wind.

Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th see the swell build back to the 4ft to 5ft range, with periods around 9-10 seconds. The winds are cross or cross-on though, so the quality is just okay. Nothing to write home about.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Wednesday morning the 16th has glassy conditions and 4ft southeast swell, energy 370. That’s a clean, fun morning with very light air.

But the real action kicks off the weekend of the 20th. Sunday the 20th morning delivers a 10ft easterly swell with a cross-offshore breeze – that’s heavy, powerful, and clean. Combined energy is a massive 3506. That is definitely expert territory. If you’re not comfortable in overhead-plus reef waves, stay on the beach.

Monday the 21st keeps that size, with 10ft to 12ft east-northeast swell, energy climbing to 5768 by afternoon. Still cross-off winds, still big and clean. This is for experienced surfers only.

Then Tuesday the 22nd is the true standout of the whole 16-day run. Morning delivers 8ft from the east-southeast with a *very long* 18-second period, and the combined energy is 6926. Winds are cross-off from the NNW, making it exceptionally clean. The afternoon pushes 10ft with the same long period, energy nearly 10,000. This is world-class groundswell for the reef. The period is so long it’ll draw up and pitch perfectly here, but that same length means it might close out on a beach break – on this reef, it’s going to be a thing of beauty. Only for experts.

After that, the forecast gets a bit hazy, but the waves stay in the 5ft to 6ft range through to the 19th, with a solid shot on Saturday the 19th morning with 5ft clean cross-off swell.

Best bet? If you can wait, the 20th through 22nd is where it’s at. Tuesday the 22nd morning is the absolute peak – huge, clean, powerful, and that 18-second period will make every set a masterpiece. For a more mellow session, Wednesday morning the 16th or Sunday the 13th morning are your tidy, manageable windows.

Hakashita doesn’t break often, but when it does, it gives you everything you want. Keep an eye on that last week.

Rusty.
