The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty again, switching to feet and degrees for you. Let’s break down the next 16 days at Hakashita.
The water is a warm 84°, which is about normal for this time of year. We’ve got a massive pulse of energy coming in, but the wind is going to be the story for the first part of the run.
Tuesday the 4th of August starts with a 10-foot ESE swell with a 17-second period. That’s a powerful groundswell, but the wind is a cross-shore at 9 mph, so expect some chop. The afternoon is cross-on and choppier.
Wednesday the 5th is a big step up. The swell hits 15 feet in the morning and 16 feet in the afternoon, both from the ESE with a 16-17 second period. The energy is through the roof. The wind is still cross-shore but light, so there will be some clean waves. This is for experts only – anything over 8 feet is big, and this is double that. The long period means the sets will be heavy and walled up at the beach, but for the reef at Hakashita, it’s going to be a proper big-wave show.
Thursday the 6th is the peak. Swell size is 23 to 24 feet, with energy readings hitting the stratosphere. The wind is a fresh cross-shore, but at that size, it doesn’t matter. This is a serious ocean event. Friday the 7th is still huge, 16 to 20 feet, but the wind is a stiff cross-on, making it lumpy and dangerous.
From Saturday the 8th through Monday the 11th, the wind is a strong cross-onshore at 22 to 28 mph, blowing out a still-chunky 11 to 18 foot swell. It’s a mess. The wind finally goes offshore on Tuesday the 11th, but the swell has dropped to 10 feet with a short period, so it’s not the same quality.
We hit a flat spell from the 12th to the 15th. Swell drops to 3 to 4 feet, with periods around 11 seconds. The best of the small stuff is Thursday morning the 13th – a 4-foot E swell with a light cross-offshore wind. It’ll be clean. Friday the 14th afternoon is glassy with a 3-foot swell. Perfect for a log.
The standout is Sunday the 16th of August. The morning brings a clean 8-foot E swell with a 12-second period, and glassy wind. The energy is solid, and the conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is the one to aim for. Monday the 17th morning is also a winner – 6-foot ESE swell, glassy, and clean. A very close second.
Rusty out.

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.
