Hakashita Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' in the water for the next couple of weeks. Gotta be honest, it's a bit of a slow burn. The first few days are a washout, but there's some serious juice coming through that might get the blood pumping for the experienced crew.

Right now, on Friday afternoon, it's a total write-off. Heavy rain and a solid 16 mph cross-off wind from the NNE are killin' it. The wait drags on through Saturday and into Sunday morning, with onshore winds and rain spoiling the party. The wind is just stuck in a bad spot for days.

Things start to get interesting on Sunday, the 6th of September. The swell jacks up to 10ft from the east, with a 9-second period. The combined energy is a thumping 2493, which is strong. This is a big, powerful groundswell. By Sunday afternoon, it's hitting 12ft, so this is strictly for the big dogs. The wind is still a cross-off at 12 mph, so it won't be glassy, but the power is undeniable. This is the standout event of the whole outlook. For a spot like Hakashita, a reef break, that long period eastern swell might be a bit too straight, but it will have a ton of grunt.

Monday morning drops back to 7ft, still with a 10-second period, and the wind is cleaner from the north. The energy is still high at 1187. This is probably the best window for the experienced crew. The sky is clear, and the water is a warm 84°F, which is about 1°F warmer than normal for this time of year, so that's a nice little bonus.

After that, the swell drops off quickly. Tuesday through to the end of the first week sees smaller, weaker energy (down to 443 and lower) with periods dropping to 8 seconds. The mornings are clean with light cross-off winds, offering some clean, small waves in the 3ft to 4ft range. It's not the standout, but it's surfable for the average punter.

The second week is a slow fade. There's a curious little spike on the 15th of September (Tuesday morning) with a 3ft, 12-second period swell, and the wind is light cross-off. The energy is a moderate 331. It's a clean, glassy session in the morning. Then on the 16th of September (Wednesday morning), we get a glassy 4ft, 9-second easterly. It's a small window of clean, fun waves.

Beyond that, it's a long, slow, flat spell. From the 17th of September onwards, the combined energy drops below 200, and the swell is under 3ft. The wind is often glassy or light, but there's just no push. The last few days are a full fade-out, with 2ft and 1.0ft waves. The best bet for the whole second week is the glassy morning of the 16th for a bit of a splash, but don't expect much.

So, to wrap it up: The weekend of the 6th and 7th of September is the only real big energy event, but it's big and windy. It's for the experts only. After that, it's a slow grind down to flat. Keep an eye on the morning windows for clean, small waves, but the crowds shouldn't be too bad at a spot that's inconsistent at the best of times.

Rusty.
