The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s cut through the crap and look at Hakashita. The first week is a dead loss. Friday the 7th is a total mess – a massive 20ft SE swell with a 30 km/h cross-onshore wind. The wave energy is through the roof at 11792, but it’s a dangerous, lumpy mess. Only for the absolute nutters. The stormy weather keeps things cross or cross-on through the weekend, with the swell dropping but the quality still poor or marginal. Don’t bother.
Things start to get interesting on Monday morning, the 10th of August. The swell has cleaned up to 5ft from the east, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the north-northeast. The wind is only 10 km/h, and the water is a warm 84°, which is about average for this time of year. The combined energy is a solid 1095, and the period is a long 13 seconds. This is a reef break, so that long period should set up some nice, organized lines. Best of the first week, but it’s for the experienced crew.
The big standout is Tuesday the 11th of August. The morning is glassy – zero wind – with a 4ft east swell and a 12-second period. The combined energy is 627. The water will be like a pond. It’s small, but it’ll be pure fun. The spot is a little inconsistent, so you might have to wait, but it’ll be worth it. This is the best on offer.
The rest of the week fades. Wednesday morning is glassy again but the swell is down to 3ft, and by Thursday it’s tiny. But look at the second week. Friday the 14th morning has a clean 3ft east swell with a light cross-offshore breeze. Saturday the 15th morning is similar. The real prize of the second week is Sunday the 16th. The morning is glassy, with a 4ft east swell and a 12-second period. The combined energy is 528. That’s a cracking morning. Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th are more marginal, with some cross-offshore breezes but the period dropping.
Further out, keep an eye on Thursday the 20th. The whole day looks clean with a 5ft east swell and a cross-offshore breeze. The energy is moderate at 368. It’s not huge, but it’ll be clean. After that, the swell fades into the 22nd with tiny, glassy waves.
So, the two to circle on the calendar are Tuesday morning the 11th of August and Sunday morning the 16th of August. Both are glassy, with clean east swells and long periods. Get on it.
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.
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.
