The Lowdown
Alright folks, grab a seat. We got a classic setup on the horizon. The big news is a serious pulse of swell that’s gonna slam Hakashita, a heavy reef setup, early in the period. But beyond that first window it gets a bit messy, so pay attention.
We're looking at Tuesday, the 25th of August, as the main event. Hakashita gets hammered by a 13ft SE groundswell. The combined swell energy is just massive at 7695 (moderate to very strong), this is deep ocean juice. Wind’s a light NNE cross-off, 3 mph, so the face should be clean. This is exceptional, expert-only territory. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is about average for the time of year. The period on that swell is 16 seconds, that’s a very long period groundswell, so it will be bowling. On a reef like this? It’s going to be proper heavy, hollow, dangerous. Not for the faint of heart. That Tuesday afternoon the wind swings ENE and the period drops, and it goes marginal.
Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th are looking average at best. The swell drops but southerly wind and risk of thunderstorms keep things messy.
Friday the 28th through to Monday the 31st of August is a dead zone. The swell is tiny, under 3ft, and the energy readings are in the weak range (95-307). There’s a glimpse of glassy conditions on Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st mornings, but with only 2ft of swell, it’d just be a tiny, slow roller for a longboard.
The first week of September looks poor. Strong onshore winds from the 2nd and 3rd blow everything out. There's a bump in size around the 5th and 6th of September – Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th mornings. We get a clean 5ft S swell with a light NNE cross-off wind, 3-6 mph. The combined energy is weak, but conditions are clean. It’s a far cry from that Tuesday bomb, but for a beginner-friendly wave it’s a decent option. The period is short though, only 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit fat and weak on the reef, but clean.
After that, it just fizzles out into tiny, ordinary conditions through to the 9th of September.
So here's the call: the standout is without a doubt Tuesday morning, the 25th of August, at Hakashita. That 13ft SE swell with clean offshore wind is the one you wait for. It's an expert's dream. For everyone else, the clean windows on the 5th and 6th of September are your best bet for a safe, small wave session.
Stay safe out there.

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.
