The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for our little slice of the coast.
First up, the only break we’ve got to work with is Hakashita, a reef setup that’s inconsistent and can get a few heads in the water sometimes. It’s an exposed spot that loves swell from the SE.
The forecast opens with a big pulse of energy on Tuesday the 25th. We’re looking at a solid 13ft of SE groundswell, with a very long period of 16 seconds, and the combined energy is massive at 7695. That’s a lot of water moving. But here’s the sting – Tuesday morning has a cross-shore breeze, and the conditions are described as marginal. The water temp is 84°F, which is about average for this time of year. For the afternoon, the wind swings onshore and the swell period drops to 14 seconds. For experts, there will be some serious size and power, but that wind will chop it up quick. The long period and big size mean this is strictly for the experienced crew; over 8ft it’s too much for most.
Wednesday the 26th through Thursday the 28th is a write-off. The wind goes onshore with storms, the swell drops, and the quality is poor. Friday and Saturday (29th-30th) are tiny, with swell below 3ft and weak energy. About as flat as it gets.
Now, the real standout to keep an eye on is that block closer to the start of September. On Saturday the 5th, we get a clean morning with a cross-offshore breeze (NNE at 6 mph) and a 3ft swell from the S, period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is low at 216, but the conditions are good and clean. It’s a small, user-friendly option.
The best of the whole run, though, looks like Monday the 7th of September morning. Glassy conditions with an offshore wind from the NNW at 3 mph, 5ft of SSE swell at 9 seconds, and a combined energy of 441. It’s clean, the wind is perfect, and while it’s a bit small, the quality should be there. That’s the session to pencil in.
After that, we get another clean window on Tuesday the 8th morning with glassy conditions and 3ft swell, and Wednesday the 9th morning with a clean cross-offshore breeze and 4ft swell. Consistent but small.
So, the bottom line: Tuesday the 25th has the biggest swell but messy wind. The best bet is Monday the 7th of September morning for a clean, glassy, fun-sized session at Hakashita.
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.
