The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down what's coming up at Hakashita over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a slow start with small, weak surf and not much to write home about. Things start to look up on Thursday, 3rd September. That morning we’ve got clean conditions with a light cross-offshore breeze, and chest-high 5ft swell from the SSE. The energy is moderate, and while the period is short at 8 seconds, the wind is right, and conditions should be fun. This carries through to Friday morning, 4th September, with a similar 5ft SSE swell and clean surf.
The big standout looks to be Monday, 7th September. A solid 8ft easterly swell with clean conditions and a cross-offshore breeze. That’s going to be a proper session for the experienced crew, as it’s pushing expert-only territory. The energy is very strong, and the 10-second period gives it some proper push.
The run from 8th to 10th September is massive. On Tuesday the 8th, we see 10ft easterly swell with a long 13-second period and very strong energy. The wind is a bit messy, so it won’t be perfect. Wednesday the 9th looks cleaner in the morning with a 7ft E swell. But Thursday the 10th is a monster – 18ft ESE swell with a very long 16-second period and absolutely massive energy. That’s tow-in territory only for this spot.
After the 11th, the swell drops off, winds pick up, and the quality falls away. Not much to get excited about in that second week.
So, my pick is Monday morning, 7th September. Good size, clean, and solid power. Thursday the 10th is one for the brave, but only if you’ve got the gear.
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.
