The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Hakashita.

This is a reef break that’s pretty inconsistent, so you’ve got to pick your moments. The first few days are a write-off – poor surf with weak, short-period windswell and onshore winds. Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th are flat, messy, and not worth a paddle. Thursday the 20th shows a tiny bit of life with a glassy morning and 2ft waves from the east, but the energy is weak (87) and the conditions are just "ordinary". Not your day.

Friday the 21st morning is the first real glimmer. The wind goes glassy, the swell jumps to 4ft from the south with a 9-second period, and the combined energy hits 254 (moderate). It’s still small, but clean. Could be a fun little session if you’re desperate.

Then it goes quiet again through the weekend. Saturday and Sunday are junk – small, onshore, poor surf. The 24th of August (Monday) is where things start to get interesting. The swell picks up to 5ft from the southeast, and the period jumps to 16 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. Energy is massive at 1411 (strong). The wind is light cross-shore, so it’s clean. But that long period at a reef break? That’s the sweet spot. This is a standout for the more experienced surfer.

The big one lands on the 26th of August (Wednesday) morning. We’re looking at 13ft of south-east swell with a 16-second period, and the wind is cross-offshore and light. The energy reading is 7961 – that’s very strong. The file says it’s exceptional surf for experts. This is the best on offer, no question. If you’re experienced and you can handle a heavy reef, this is your window. The water temperature is 83°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The 27th and 28th of August keep the size up – 15ft and 13ft – but the wind turns cross-on, so it won’t be as clean. The 28th morning has glassy conditions, but the swell is 13ft, so again, experts only. After that, the swell drops but the wind stays strong and cross-off through the 30th and 31st – still surfable for the experienced, but the magic is gone.

The first few days of September bring rain and onshore winds, so it’s a messy end to the run. Overall, the 26th of August morning is the absolute standout: big, clean, powerful groundswell at a reef.

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.
