The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking at Hakashita over the next couple of weeks.
First thing you need to know: the swell window is open, but the conditions are a mixed bag. For a reef break, Hakashita is exposed to the swell, and it prefers it from the southeast. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there.
We kick things off Sunday the 6th. It’s not a day to get too excited. The morning sees a 7.2ft easterly swell with a 9-second period, and a moderate breeze blowing cross-off. The combined energy is moderate (729). It’s clean, but the forecast says it’s marginal. That afternoon, the swell jumps to a solid 13.1ft from the east-northeast, with a 10-second period. That’s a lot of power, with strong energy (5321). That size is really only for the experts. If you’re not on your game, stay out of the water.
Monday morning the 7th drops back to 6.9ft from the east-northeast, 10-second period, with a gentle cross-off breeze. Moderate energy (1007). It’s clean, but again, the call is marginal. Not the best, but it’s rideable if you’re keen.
Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th see the swell drop under 4.9ft, with periods around 8 seconds and cross-off winds. The energy is weak (around 300). It’s clean in the mornings, but the afternoon wind switches to cross, bringing a bit of chop. These are smaller, less exciting days.
Thursday the 10th stays small, around 3.3ft, and the wind is cross-off in the morning. Still clean, but very marginal.
Now, Friday the 11th is a little glimmer. Morning brings a 3.6ft southeast swell with a 9-second period and a light cross-off breeze. Clean conditions and moderate energy (282). It’s a better call for a sneaky session, but still not a standout.
Saturday the 12th drops right off. Tiny 1.6ft swell with a 14-second period – that’s a long period groundswell, but it’s so small it barely matters. Energy is weak (225). The wind turns cross-on in the afternoon. This is a day to do something else.
Sunday the 13th has a 3.3ft south swell, 10-second period, with a gentle cross-off breeze. Moderate energy (390). It’s clean, and the call is “expect good surf conditions.” This is probably the best option in the first week, but it’s still only a 2 out of 10 kind of day. Small and clean.
From Monday the 14th through Wednesday the 16th, the swell hovers around 4.3ft to 5.6ft from the east, with periods of 8 to 9 seconds. Winds are light and cross to cross-off. Energy is moderate (300 to 500). There’s a bit of rain and thunderstorms around, but the surf is surfable, if not exciting.
Then, Thursday the 17th goes to crap. Strong southerly winds, cross-on, blowing 16 mph. The swell is a tiny 2.3ft. Choppy and poor. Don’t bother.
Friday the 18th morning has a bit of hope. Glassy conditions, 2.3ft swell from the east with an 11-second period. But it’s weak energy (127). The call is “surfable but very ordinary.” That pretty much sums it up.
The weekend of the 19th and 20th is flat and weak. Swell under 2.0ft, energy under 100. Some clean mornings, but you’ll be paddling for nothing.
The outlook ends on Monday the 21st with a tiny 2.0ft south-southeast swell, 6-second period, and weak energy (44). Clean, but that’s it.
The Standout: Honestly, there isn’t a true standout here. If you had to pick one, I’d point you to Sunday morning the 13th of September. It’s the best balance of clean conditions and a little bit of energy (390) with that south swell. But don’t expect barrels. It’s a quiet period for Hakashita.

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.
