The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, switching to imperial.
We kick off with a slow start. Wednesday the 29th, Hakashita is dribbling along with a 2ft ESE swell. Wednesday morning is glassy but tiny, combined energy only (93). Wednesday afternoon gets cross-on and looks ordinary. Thursday the 30th through Saturday the 1st of August is basically flat, with waves under 1ft and energy dropping into the 20s and 40s. Bummer.
Then on Sunday the 2nd of August, the pulse arrives. Glassy morning with 1ft swell but the period jumps to 16 seconds—energy hits (152). That’s a long-period groundswell, clean but tricky on the banks. Sunday afternoon builds to 3ft ESE, 15-second period, and energy at (422). Still marginal, but worth a look if you’re keen.
The real action starts Monday the 3rd of August. Morning brings 6ft ESE at 16 seconds, energy at (1677), with light cross-shore wind and clear skies. Clean, shapely waves for intermediates. Monday afternoon pushes to 7ft, 18 seconds, energy (2946). Tuesday the 4th morning is 8ft, 17 seconds, energy at (4304)—big but still manageable for the experienced crew. Tuesday afternoon hits 10ft, 18 seconds, 5344 energy. That's getting heavy.
Wednesday the 5th is massive. Morning gives 16ft, 18-second ESE groundswell, energy screaming (16059). Wind is cross at 15 mph, but it's too big for most—expert only. Wednesday afternoon is 21ft, 19 seconds, energy (27776). Thursday the 6th is monstrous: 39ft in the morning, 54ft in the afternoon, energy (97066) to (164787), with wind hitting 28 to 34 mph. Absolutely wild. Not for paddling.
Friday the 7th morning still has 25ft from the SSE but it's messy with strong cross-onshore winds. Friday afternoon drops to 13ft but still rough.
Then a lull. Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th drop into choppy 4ft to 7ft swell with period crashing to 8 seconds and cross-onshore winds. Monday the 10th is marginal.
But Tuesday the 11th of August morning is glassy, 8ft E swell, period only 8 seconds, but energy at (983) and clean. Good for intermediates. Wednesday the 12th morning is even better: 12ft E, 9 seconds, glassy—excellent for experienced surfers. Energy at (2126). That's your second standout. Thursday the 13th still has 12ft but cross-shore wind creeps in.
Water temp at Hakashita is 84°F, about 1°F warmer than average—normal for this time.
Hakashita is a reef break and inconsistent, so you want to hit these pulses. Crowds can show up when it's good.
Best window: Monday the 3rd of August morning for clean 6ft groundswell, and Wednesday the 12th of August morning for the glassy 12ft session for the experienced crew.
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.
