The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk waves for Hakashita over the next couple weeks.
The first few days are pretty tame. The water's comfortable, sitting right around 83°, about what you'd expect for this time of year, so no need for a suit.
We finally get something going on the morning of Saturday, August 16th. It’s only 3ft of east swell, but with an offshore NNE breeze at 3 mph, it’s clean. The wave energy is moderate (235). This reef can be a bit inconsistent, but when it's on, it's fun. Expect a few others out there, so get your spot early.
The big one to keep an eye on is the morning of Saturday, August 22nd. That's a week and a half out, so treat it with a little caution. We're looking at 5ft of east-northeast swell, but it’s a short period of 7 seconds, so it'll be a bit messy. The wind is a clean cross-off from the NNE, and the wave energy is strong (501). This one’s for the experienced paddlers; it'll be a handful for beginners.
Now, mark your calendar for Monday morning, August 24th. That’s the best looking day of the whole forecast. It’s dead calm, 0 mph wind, glassy as a mirror. There's only 3ft of swell, but it's got a very long period of 18 seconds – true groundswell. The combined energy is very strong (881). That's a lot of power for a small-looking wave. This long period stuff is perfect for a reef like Hakashita, just watch out for the long lulls between sets.
The following two mornings, Tuesday, August 25th and Wednesday, August 26th, are also absolute crackers. Glassy conditions again, with 4-5ft of long period (13 seconds) east-southeast swell. The energy readings are strong (657 and 736). The wind is offshore from the NW and NE, which is exactly what this spot wants to see.
The last few days of August start to quiet down. Thursday morning, August 27th, still has 4ft of clean east swell with a 12-second period and glassy conditions, so that’s a go. But by late August into early September, we’re back to small, weak surf with onshore winds. Not much to get excited about.
So the play is clear: hammer the mornings of August 24th, 25th, and 26th. August 16th, 19th, and 22nd are decent consolation prizes. After that, you might as well take the board out for a shine.
You know the drill, I'm Rusty. Catch ya.

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.
