Table - best surf conditions forecast for Hakashita over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s size it up in feet and Fahrenheit.
First up, Hakashita. A reef break, exposed to the south-east, inconsistent – it doesn’t fire often. The water temp is 79°, which is a bit cooler than normal for July, about 3° off the average.
The start is average. Sunday the 12th has a south swell running about 8ft, 13-second period, but the wind is cross-onshore in the morning and gets choppier in the afternoon. The energy is strong – 2059 – but the surface is messy.
Monday the 13th morning is the best of the first week: 5ft south swell, 11-second period, glassy – no wind. The energy is moderate at 493, but it’s clean and the reef will handle it. Afternoon gets onshore and drops away.
Tuesday and Wednesday fall off hard. Tuesday morning is only 3ft and glassy, but weak energy (153). Wednesday morning is down to 2ft – barely breaking. Thursday and Friday are flat with tiny east swell. Nothing worth wetting a suit.
Saturday the 18th brings a change: an east swell with a very long 17-second period in the morning (306 energy), and by the afternoon it’s 4ft with a 15-second period and 975 energy. Light cross-shore wind, so it’s clean-ish – but a long period east groundswell on a reef can be a bit straight. Still, it’s the most interesting window in the first week and a half.
Sunday the 19th gets bigger but sloppier. 8ft east swell in the morning with 10-second period, moderate north-east cross-shore wind. Energy is 1478, but with rain showers and risk of storms, it’s not clean. Monday the 20th drops off with onshore wind. This is more for the kite crew.
Here’s the one to mark. Wednesday the 22nd morning: 4ft east-south-east swell, 10-second period, glassy – dead calm. Energy is moderate at 529, but clean conditions on a reef like this makes it the standout of the whole run.
Thursday the 23rd morning is also tidy: 4ft east swell, 11-second period, glassy. A solid backup.
From Friday the 24th onward, the swell gets small and the wind turns onshore. By Sunday the 26th it’s all rain, moderate to strong wind, and short-period junk. The energy drops under 500 and stays poor.
So bottom line: Monday 13th morning is a clean window, but the real highlight is Wednesday 22nd July morning – glassy, clean, and a solid 4ft south-east swell on a reef that doesn’t come alive often. That’s the one.
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.
