Table - best surf conditions forecast for Hakashita over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got a look at what’s coming for Hakashita. Let’s be real – this is a classic case of a big, powerful swell arriving with some serious wind baggage. The forecast kicks off on Saturday, July 11th, and we’re not messing around.
We’ve got a massive, long-period groundswell from the south pushing in – 13ft at 16 seconds. The energy is insane, with a reading of 8192. This is a heavy-duty, dangerous amount of power. A south swell is not the optimum direction for this reef, so it’s going to be a wild, unruly beast. The water temp is 79°, which is about 3° colder than usual for this time of year. That’s noticeable, so you’ll want a thicker spring suit. Saturday morning is your best shot, but it’s a risk. The wind is a light, onshore breeze from the ESE, which will keep it bumpy, and there’s a risk of thunderstorms. This is strictly for experts only. The wave height is way over 8ft, so it’s not a beginner’s game. The afternoon is similar, but the energy is a bit less, and the wind is still problematic.
Sunday, July 12th, the swell drops to 8ft, but the wind swings around and gets worse. A cross-onshore breeze from the south is going to make it choppy and messy. By the afternoon, it’s really just a blown-out, 7ft mess. Hard pass.
Monday, July 13th, is a major tease. The swell drops to a manageable 5ft, and we get a clean, glassy morning. The period is 11 seconds, which is nice, and the energy is still moderate at 493. The wind is dead calm. This is the best window of the entire first week, and it’s a shame it’s so small. The morning is the only time to get a clean wave. The afternoon goes back to onshore wind and bad conditions.
From Tuesday, July 14th, through to the end of the week, we’re in a real slump. The swell drops below 3ft, period drops, and the energy is weak. The water gets glassy in the mornings, but the waves are too small and gutless to be worth paddling out for. It’s a long stretch of flat, ordinary conditions.
The second week shows a little pulse. Around Saturday, July 19th, a tiny, short-period wind swell from the east shows up. It’s inconsistent, but the wind is cross-offshore, which is clean. It’s not a standout, just a bit of movement.
The real hope comes on Wednesday, July 22nd. A clean 4ft glassy morning with a calm breeze. The period is still short at 8 seconds, but it’s a clean, surfable wave. The next day, Thursday, July 23rd, is the best of the whole run. We get a 5ft, 12-second groundswell from the east. The energy is strong at 634, and the morning is glassy. This is a promising, solid option that could be really fun. It’s a bright spot in an otherwise tough forecast.
The final weekend, July 26th, shows a longer period, 4ft swell from the ESE with a clean morning. The energy is solid at 510, and it’s glassy. The afternoon gets a bit cross-onshore and builds to 6ft, which is a bit much for the worsening wind.
The standout of the whole 16 days is the Saturday, July 11th event, but it’s a dangerous, expert-only beast. The best *surfable* window is the Thursday, July 23rd morning. It’s the only real quality, long-period, glassy window with some decent size. After that, it’s a lot of small, wind-affected days.
This is Rusty, signing off. Stay safe out there.

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.
