The Lowdown
Gather 'round, it's Rusty.
Alright, let's have a look at the next two and a bit weeks for Hakashita. The early part of the window is where the magic's at, with a solid pulse of easterly groundswell arriving right out of the gate and glassy mornings giving us the best chance at some clean, rippable walls. After the first few days, the energy settles down and we're left with smaller, more ordinary conditions for a stretch, before a late-week blip of hope shows up near the end of the run.
The standout session by a long shot is Monday morning, the 10th of August. We've got a healthy 5ft of east swell rolling in at a meaty 13 seconds – that's proper groundswell with some grunt behind it. The water is a balmy 84°, which is pretty much spot on average for this time of year. Wind is glassy out of the NNE at just 3 mph, so you're looking at a slick, clean surface. The combined energy is a very strong 1030, right in that sweet spot. This is a reef break that's exposed to the swell, and it's packing enough punch that you'll want a bit of experience under your belt – this isn't a wave for beginners. The sets will have shape and power, and with glassy conditions, it'll be a proper session.
Monday afternoon on the 10th holds at about 5ft from the east, still with a long 12-second period, and the wind stays glassy out of the ESE. The energy has dropped a bit to 806, but it's still very good. Tuesday morning the 11th is another glassy morning – about 4ft of east swell at 12 seconds, with the combined energy at 613. You'd be a fool to sleep in.
The wind stays clean through Wednesday morning the 12th, but the swell has dropped to about 4ft at 10 seconds. It's still surfable and glassy, but you can feel the energy fading. From there, we hit a real lull. The swell shrinks down to under 3ft, the direction swings to the south, and the energy drops into the weak range. There's a stretch of days from Thursday the 13th through to the end of the third week where conditions are pretty ordinary – surfable but nothing to write home about. The wind stays light and occasionally glassy in the mornings, but the swell just isn't there to get excited about.
Now, there's a flicker of life late in the window. Sunday the 23rd of August shows a bit of hope in the afternoon. The swell is only about 3ft from the south at 9 seconds, with a combined energy of 230, but the wind goes glassy out of the SSW. It's not big, but if you're desperate for a little trim on a clean surface, it might just be your ticket. Then Monday the 24th brings a glassy morning with about 2ft from the east at 10 seconds, and Tuesday the 25th sees a similar setup but with a longer 13-second period and zero wind – dead calm. Those last two days are worth keeping an eye on, but they're a long way out and the swell is still modest.
If you're after the real deal, you aim for that Monday the 10th. It's the best on offer, no contest.

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.
