The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about it in feet and miles per hour.
The next couple of weeks at Hakashita is a slow start then a huge payoff if you’ve got the patience. It’s a reef break that doesn’t break often, so when it lines up, you want to be there. Water temp is about 84°, pretty normal for this time of year, so just boardshorts.
From Wednesday 2nd September into Saturday 5th, it’s mostly messy. Wind is cross-off or cross-shore, bumpy, with some rain. Swell runs 4 to 8 feet, mostly from the SE, with short periods around 9-10 seconds. Energy goes from moderate to strong, but the rough conditions kill the quality. Not worth paddling out unless you’re desperate.
Sunday 6th and Monday 7th improve. Swell sits around 7 to 8 feet from the E/ENE, with lighter cross-off winds cleaning it up. Wave energy is moderate to strong. This is when the reef starts to look good for intermediate surfers.
The first true standout is Tuesday 8th September morning. Glassy wind from the north at just 3 mph, a clean 7.5-foot swell from the SE, with an 11-second period. Energy reads 1457. The water will be like a mirror. This is a morning you don’t miss. Perfect conditions for intermediates.
Wednesday 9th morning is another cracker: 10-foot swell from the ESE, period 12 seconds, with a light cross-off wind at 3 mph. Energy is strong at 2325. This is for experts only at that size, but the waves will be world-class.
The swell fades through the 10th and 11th, dropping to 3 to 5 feet with shorter periods. Still clean, but nothing special.
Saturday 12th is small, but Sunday 13th morning picks up: 7-foot east swell, period 9 seconds, light cross-off wind. Energy is 874. Clean and fun.
Then we hit the big one. Wednesday 16th September morning is the absolute standout: 15-foot swell from the ESE with a 13-second period, glassy wind at 3 mph. Energy is 6577 – very strong. This is expert-only, no question. Huge, powerful waves on the reef. The afternoon holds 11.5 feet with a light cross-shore, still heavy.
Thursday 17th morning is 8 feet from the SSE, period 12 seconds, clean cross-off wind, energy 3326. Another excellent session for experienced surfers.
The two mornings to circle on your calendar: Tuesday 8th for intermediate fun, and Wednesday 16th for the big show. Don’t be late.

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.
