Hakashita Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' at Hakashita over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, there’s a bit of a wait for the good stuff. Monday the 6th is tiny and just ordinary, but it sets the stage. The real story starts to build Monday afternoon. By Tuesday the 7th morning, we’re looking at a solid 5ft of long-period, 14-second SE groundswell, with glassy conditions and a light ENE breeze. That’s a winner. The combined swell energy is pumping at 673 (moderate energy), and that long period means proper, punchy waves. Hakashita is a reef break, so that long period from the SE (optimum direction) will line up beautifully. The water temp is about average for this time of year. Keep in mind this spot is inconsistent and can get crowded sometimes, so get in early.

Tuesday afternoon gets dicey with a risk of thunderstorms and onshore wind, but the swell jumps to 5ft with 15-second period, delivering a combined energy of 1085 (strong). Still, that clean window Tuesday morning is your standout moment in the first week.

The middle of the week, from Wednesday the 8th through to Friday the 10th, sees the swell really kick up, reaching a massive 15ft by Friday with 18-second periods from the SSE, and combined energies hitting over 12,000 (very strong). This is expert territory – over 8ft and powerful. Winds are mostly cross to cross-onshore, so conditions are messy, but the raw power is undeniable. Friday afternoon actually scores well despite the onshore lick, with those long, clean lines of energy. This is not for the faint of heart.

Over the weekend (11th-12th), the swell eases back from 12ft to 7ft but stays lumpy with cross-onshore winds and periods dropping to 12-13 seconds. Energy is still moderate to strong, but the quality isn't there. Monday the 13th drops right off to small, choppy surf.

Now, there's a gap of a few days with mostly nothing special until the second week. Keep your eye on Wednesday the 15th afternoon. The swell bumps back up to 13ft from the east with an 11-second period, light cross breeze, and combined energy of 6676 (strong). That's a big, powerful east swell – again, experts only.

The real sleeper though? It's Monday the 20th morning. A solid 6ft of ESE swell with a clean, offshore NNE breeze at 9 mph. That’s a good, clean combo for intermediate surfers, with combined energy at 721 (moderate). And then, looking way out to Tuesday the 21st morning, we've got a super clean, glassy forecast with a 5ft swell from the east and a very long 12-second period. The combined energy is 669 (moderate). This one’s promising but less certain being so far out.

For the standout pick: Tuesday morning, July 7th. That 5ft SE groundswell with glassy conditions is the cleanest window of the whole run.

Stay safe out there.
