The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s on offer at Hakashita over the next couple weeks. This is a reef break that doesn’t fire every day—it’s inconsistent—so when it lines up, you better be ready. The water temp is about 84°F, which is dead average for this time of year.
Right now, it’s junk. Monday the 31st has nothing—tiny 3ft swell with a short 8-second period and cross-on wind. Not worth it. Tuesday the 1st is the same story: weak, short-period, sloppy. Wednesday the 2nd bumps to 5ft but still short period and cross-on. We’re just waiting.
Thursday morning the 3rd is the first real chance. 6ft from the SE, period 9 seconds, light cross-off wind, and combined swell energy at 968—strong. Clean conditions. This is a go.
Friday morning the 4th is glassy—dead flat water—with 6ft from the SSE, and moderate energy of 536. Clean and offshore. This is a standout window for smooth, clean waves.
Sunday afternoon the 6th is another cracker: 8ft from the east, period 9 seconds, light cross-off, energy at 1013. That’s quality, powerful stuff for surfers with some skill.
Monday the 7th gets big. By afternoon, it’s glassy with 12ft from the east, 10-second period, and combined energy at 2373. That’s strong, heavy swell—only for experts. Tuesday the 8th is the monster: morning brings 10ft with a 12-second period, clean cross-off, and energy at 3103. That’s serious groundswell. The reef will handle it beautifully, but it’s expert-only.
Friday morning the 11th is another huge one: 12ft from the ESE, 11-second period, light offshore wind, energy at 2869. That’s the best of the whole run for experienced surfers.
After that, it fades. Saturday the 12th is messy with onshore wind, and into the second week the swell drops away. Monday the 14th has a glassy 2ft with a 13-second period—pretty but weak. The last days are small and cross-on. The run finishes quiet.
The standouts for Hakashita: Thursday morning the 3rd and Sunday afternoon the 6th for intermediates; then Monday afternoon the 7th, Tuesday morning the 8th, and especially Friday morning the 11th for the experts. That’s where you want to be.
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.
