The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I've got a look at what's coming for Hakashita over the next couple weeks. Let's get into it.
The forecast kicks off on Tuesday, September 1st, and honestly, the start is a bit meek but definitely rideable. That first morning is a real teaser – we've got a 4ft SSE swell with a glassy wind. The water temp is about average for this time of year. The waves aren't huge, but the conditions are perfect for a quiet paddle. That afternoon, things turn sour quick – wind swings onshore and the quality drops out. Wednesday morning is messy, but look, Wednesday afternoon sees a 5ft SSE swell with a clean cross-off breeze. That’s your first real window – not a stand-out, but a solid afternoon session.
Thursday and Friday bring more size but also a lot of rain, and the winds are mostly cross or gusty. We see the swell jump to 8ft, but it’s a bit lumpy. The real story starts on Saturday, September 5th. The morning has a clean 8ft E swell, but the wind is moderate. However, Sunday, September 6th, is where it starts to get serious. A solid 10ft E swell under clean, cross-off winds. That’s expert territory, really pushy, but the wave energy is strong (1221). This is promising.
The real stand-out starts Sunday the 6th and runs into the week of the 7th. The swell holds around 8ft to 10ft, the period stretches out to 10, 11, and even 13 seconds later on. The winds are consistently light and offshore from the North to NNE for days on end. Monday the 7th morning is a beauty, and Wednesday the 9th morning with 8ft E swell from direction SE and a 13-second period is an absolute gem. The combined energy on that morning is pumping at 2126 – that's strong. Hakashita is a reef break, so that long period groundswell will wrap in cleanly. The crowds are only "sometimes", so you might have it pretty good out there.
Then we hit a bit of a lull mid-week around the 11th before it fires up again. The period around Sunday the 13th of September is huge. We're looking at a 13ft SE swell on Sunday morning, clean with light winds. That's massive, powerful (4538 energy) and for experts only. The Saturday before that (the 12th) also has a huge 12ft ESE swell, but the wind is cross-shore, so it'll be a bit chunky.
So, the best on offer? Wednesday morning, September 9th, with that 8ft, 13-second groundswell and offshore wind. That’s the one you circle. Sunday the 13th morning is the big swell standout for experienced chargers only, but it’s less certain this far out. The first week has some good, clean windows, but the second week packs a real punch.

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.
