The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The next 16 days are a bit of a rollercoaster for us here. We’ve got some serious size showing up, but it’s going to be a case of picking your moments when the wind plays nice. The real standout is early on, so don’t sleep on it.
The big news is Tuesday the 25th of August. Hakashita (a reef setup) is going to be absolutely pumping. We’re looking at a solid 13ft swell from the southeast, with a long period of 16 seconds – that’s proper groundswell, plenty of energy for the experts. The morning session is where it’s at with a light cross-offshore breeze from the northeast, keeping things clean. This is the best on offer, but it’s not for the faint-hearted; this is only for experienced surfers. The afternoon sees the wind swing cross-onshore, which will mess it up, so get on it early.
Wednesday the 26th drops off a bit with 8ft from the south, but it’s onshore wind and there’s a risk of thunderstorms. Not great. Thursday the 27th is a bit of a tease – it’s glassy in the morning with 5ft, but the period is a short 8 seconds, making for weak, weak energy. It’s surfable but nothing to write home about. Friday and Saturday (28th-29th) are on the smaller side with poor winds, so you’re better off staying home.
Then there’s a real quiet spell from the 30th of August right through to the 3rd of September. We get some tiny, glassy waves on the 30th morning, but they are barely a ripple. Then it gets big again on the 1st of September, with 8ft from the SSE, but it’s accompanied by fresh onshore winds and storms – just a messy, blown-out situation. The 2nd and 3rd are also big, with 10ft to 13ft, but the wind is howling onshore, making it unsurfable and more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.
We finally get a breather on the 4th of September, but it’s only 5ft with a cross-shore wind – marginal at best. The 5th is tiny again.
Now, the second week is promising, but it’s a long-range call so keep an eye on it. The 6th of September looks like another standout. We’ve got 10ft from the southeast with a long 13-second period. The morning is cross-shore, but the afternoon is the winner with a light offshore from the northwest and clean conditions. Exceptionally good for experienced surfers. The 7th of September holds clean 6ft from the southeast in the morning with a cross-offshore wind.
The 8th and 9th drop off in size but stay clean with lighter winds. Nothing to get too excited about, but at least the water is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
So, to sum it up: the absolute best window is the morning of Tuesday the 25th of August at Hakashita. It’s big, it’s clean, and it’s powerful. The other real one to circle on the calendar is the afternoon of Sunday the 6th of September – that’s your long-range promise with a solid, clean swell rolling in. Everything else in between is either too small, too windy, or just for experts on the big days.

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.
