The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s look at what we’ve got on the cards for Hakashita.
Honestly, for the first week or so, it’s a bit of a flat spell. We’re looking at tiny, weak waves for the best part of a week, starting Sunday July 19th. The swell energy is really low, down in the 60s to 90s (combined energy), and those easterly swells are just not packing any punch. The conditions are a mixed bag too, with onshore winds and some glassy windows, but the waves themselves are just too small to get excited about. There’s a real lull here until things start to change.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Monday July 27th. The morning session is the standout. We’ve got a clean 3ft glassy swell from the SSE, with a period of 13 seconds. That’s some proper groundswell energy starting to move in, and the combined energy jumps to 652. That’s a moderate energy level, and with glassy conditions, it’s going to be the best clean surf of the whole run so far. If you’re free, that’s the window to get wet.
After that, the swell just keeps building, but the wind gets messy. Tuesday July 28th sees a solid 10ft S swell, but it’s cross-onshore, which will chop it up. The energy is cranking, into the thousands, but it’s not going to be clean. By Wednesday July 30th, we’re talking 12ft to 13ft swells, and with fresh onshore winds, it’s getting blown out and lumpy. This is really only for experts, and honestly, the conditions look more like a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surfing one.
The real monster arrives on Saturday August 1st. We’re looking at a massive 23ft to 25ft S swell, with combined energy in the tens of thousands. That’s a huge, powerful swell. The problem is, the wind is onshore and strong, making it a total mess. The forecast even says it’s too big for this break. Unless you’re a masochist with a big gun, stay on the beach for that one.
So, to wrap it up: hold out for Monday July 27th morning. That’s your one true standout. After that, the swell gets too big and the wind ruins it.
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.
