The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, checking in from Hakashita. Let's be honest from the start – this 16-day window is a tough one. There's nothing really good on offer for the entire period. The forecast is a long, drawn-out run of messy, onshore conditions with a few small windows that are just not worth paddling out for.
We start on Friday the 28th of August with a weak, short-period 4ft SSE swell. The water's a warm 83°, about average for this time of year, but with a cross-on wind it's just rippled and average. That's pretty much the story for the first week. Saturday the 29th is even smaller, and Sunday the 30th brings a tiny glassy morning with a 3ft SSE swell, but the energy is weak (134) and it's barely surfable. Monday the 31st sees a bump in size to 4ft from the SSE with moderate energy (368), but the wind is cross-shore and messy.
Then things get ugly. From the 1st of September through to the 4th, we get hammered by onshore winds and building, raw swell – 8ft to 12ft from the SSE and SE. This is big, powerful (up to 2974 energy on the 2nd), and totally blown out. It's heavy, onshore slop that's only for the most hardcore, and honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The swell is too big for beginners and messy for anyone else.
After that, we get a tease. On the morning of Sunday the 6th of September, a very long-period groundswell (13 seconds, 15+ is very long) pushes in from the SSE at a massive 15ft. The energy is extreme (6665), and the wind is just a light cross-on. This is the one standout in the whole outlook. It's a huge, powerful swell and with those long periods, the waves will have serious shape and punch, but at a reef break, that's a good thing. It's going to be big and raw – expert territory for sure, and only for those who know the reef well. The morning of the 6th is the best we get, but it's still marginal due to the size and risk of storms.
The rest of the second week is a write-off. A couple of glassy mornings pop up on the 10th and 11th, with clean 3ft to 6ft SE swells, but the energy is weak to moderate (247 to 588). These are just small, clean days. Nothing to get excited about. It's a long, dry stretch. That's the reality here.
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.
