The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming our way for Hakashita.
The first half of the coming week is a bit of a write-off, but the end of the following week is shaping up to be a proper serious session. The standout is without a doubt Tuesday the 25th, but we've got to get through the quiet and the messy first.
Right now, Sunday the 23rd is a total no-go. Tiny, weak swell and poor conditions. Give it a miss. Monday the 24th is a marginal tease; the morning has a tiny 2 ft SE swell with a long 16-second period, but the energy is only moderate (450) and it's cross-shore. The afternoon jumps up to 6 ft from the SE, but the wind goes cross-on, so it's still a pass.
Then Tuesday the 25th of August. Bloody hell. This is the one. A solid 15 ft SE groundswell with a 16-second period. The energy is massive (9,252). The wind is a cross-shore, not perfect, but it's clean enough for a spot this exposed. The rating is high, and this is the biggest, most powerful swell of the window. This is for experienced surfers only, way too big for beginners. It's a reef break, and with that long period, it'll be bowling. The morning is the pick, but the afternoon holds the same size. You'll have to be on your game, and expect some company – it's sometimes crowded there.
Wednesday the 26th is still big, with a 15 ft swell from the SSE, but the wind goes cross-on, and there's a risk of thunderstorms. The quality drops, but the raw power is still there (7,269). By Thursday, the swell drops to 8 ft, but the wind is poor and the period shortens to 9 seconds. Not great.
Now, here's a gem worth waking up for. Friday morning, the 28th of August. The swell is a solid 10 ft from the SSE, and the wind is glassy. Dead flat. Clean. The combined energy is strong (1,720). This is a fantastic window for experienced surfers. The swell is a bit too big for beginners, but the conditions will be pristine. The morning is a standout for quality if not sheer size.
Saturday the 29th is a drop-off, with 6 ft and a glassy morning, but the period is short at 8 seconds. It's a fun, manageable size for intermediates, but the energy is low.
The following week starts quiet. Sunday the 30th is tiny, and Monday the 31st has a small 4 ft SE swell with glassy wind. It's a slow, weak period. Tuesday the 1st of September has a 4 ft long-period (14s) E swell, and glassy conditions, which is a nice little clean-up session for the longboard or a log, but the energy is moderate (940).
The middle of the second week gets messy. Wednesday the 2nd has a building cross-shore wind, and Thursday the 3rd sees a big 5 ft SWELL with an 18-second period, but the wind is cross-off and the energy is solid (2,869). It's a tricky one, but a good surfer could get some clean, powerful lines if the wind holds.
The end of the period from the 4th to the 6th of September is a write-off. Strong onshore winds, rain, and lumpy conditions. The swell is there, but it's a mess. Best for the kite crew.
The final day, Monday the 7th of September, is a redemption. An 12 ft E swell with a 11-second period, and glassy wind. The energy is very strong (3,221). This is another excellent session for experienced surfers. The conditions are clean, but the swell is big. It's a promising long-range call, but it's a way off, so keep an eye on it.
Water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The standout is Tuesday the 25th of August for the serious power. The Friday the 28th morning is the pick for the cleanest conditions on a big swell.
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.
