The Lowdown

Alright, let’s talk Hakashita. I’ll give it to you straight.

The start of this run is a bit of a mixed bag. The water’s sitting at a warm 84°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.

Monday the 24th kicks off with a 7ft swell out of the southeast, but that cross-on wind messes it up. Not the best way to start.

Tuesday the 25th, though, that’s where the story gets interesting. Early morning, we’ve got a solid 13ft groundswell from the southeast with a long, powerful 17-second period. The combined wave energy is absolutely pumping. But it’s a cross-shore wind, so it’s not as clean as it could be. Still, that’s a lot of water moving, and for an exposed reef like this, it’s going to be a proper handful. That morning is your best bet of the first few days, but it’s not perfect.

Wednesday the 26th afternoon is a real tease. The swell is still a chunky 10ft from the south-southeast, and the wind goes glassy. That’s the kind of wind you dream about. The wave energy is still strong, and it’s the best window in the first week for clean, big waves, but you’ve got to watch the weather with a risk of thunderstorms around.

Thursday the 27th sees the size drop to a much more manageable 5ft, and Thursday morning is glassy again with a nice offshore breeze from the northwest. It’s clean, but the period has dropped to 8 seconds, so it’s a bit weaker and less organised. Still, for a fun, less intimidating session, that’s your window.

Then we hit a lull. From Friday the 28th afternoon all the way through to Tuesday the 1st of September, it’s pretty poor. The swell gets tiny, down to 1ft, and the wind is generally onshore or cross. There’s a small window of glass on Monday the 31st morning, but with wave energy that low, you’d be pushing it to get a ride.

Now, hold onto your board. The second week looks like it’s going to fire. Wednesday the 2nd of September morning is a solid, clean option with a 5ft swell and a clean cross-offshore breeze. But the real standout is the 5th of September – Saturday morning. The forecast is showing a massive 25ft swell from the south, with a very long 13-second period and a clean, offshore north wind. The combined energy is absolutely insane. Now, for 99% of us, that is too big. This is expert-only territory. The reef is going to be a washing machine, and you’d need some serious cojones to paddle out. The forecast even notes it might be too big for the break. So, it’s a spectacle, not a session for most.

If you’re looking for something a little more your speed, the 4th of September (Friday) is also a beast, with a 13ft to 18ft swell and clean offshore winds. Wave energy is still massive. That’s still solid, heavy surf.

So, to wrap it up: the standout session for clean, powerful waves that are still (barely) manageable is the afternoon of Wednesday the 26th of August with that glassy 10ft swell. If you’re an absolute charger, the morning of Saturday the 5th of September is the biggest, baddest swell of the forecast, but it’s one for the highlights reel, not your logbook.

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.
