The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for the coming weeks at Hakashita.

Right off the bat, it’s a pretty grim start. The first few days are flat, weak, and messy. We’re looking at a frustrating gap right through the end of July and into the first couple of days of August. Friday morning the 31st has a tiny 1ft ESE swell, but the wind is glassy – it’s just not enough to get you out of the water. The combined wave energy is a measly 41 (weak), and it’s listed as poor surf conditions. Saturday is the same story. Honestly, you’re better off leaving the board in the car.

Then, on Sunday the 2nd, things start to stir. The morning session brings a clean 2ft ESE groundswell with a period of 16 seconds, and the wind is glassy. The combined energy jumps to 238 (moderate). It’s still small, but the long period means there’s proper shape on offer. That’s the first real glimmer of hope.

Monday the 3rd sees a jump in size to 5ft ESE, but the wind is cross-shore and the quality is only marginal. This is a trend that continues for a few days – the swell is building, but the wind is onshore or cross-shore, keeping the surf a bit messy. By Tuesday the 4th, we’re looking at 10ft ESE, but with a risk of thunderstorms and cross-shore wind. It’s getting big but not clean.

Now, Wednesday the 5th of August is where I start to get excited. The morning has a solid 15ft ESE swell with a 17-second period, and the wind is clean cross-offshore. The combined energy is a massive 11427 (strong). This is serious swell, and it’s going to be big. It’s definitely expert territory, and the break is a reef, so it should handle the size well. The rating is high, but the wind is cross-off, not pure offshore. It’s a standout, but it’s a beast.

Thursday the 6th is the peak of this run, but it’s too big. We’re talking 28ft ESE swell with a 19-second period. The combined energy is 48388 (very strong). The wind is cross-shore, but the model says the swell is too big for this break. If you’re a big-wave charger, you might look at it, but for most, it’s a no-go. The same goes for Friday the 7th – still huge, but the wind gets messy.

After that, the swell drops fast. Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th are a write-off – strong onshore winds and lumpy, messy surf. The energy drops to 5637 (moderate) and the quality is poor. This is a proper lull.

The second week is quieter. Monday the 10th through Tuesday the 11th see small, onshore waves with marginal quality. Things turn around on Wednesday the 12th of August. The morning has a 5ft E swell with a 13-second period, and the wind is glassy. The combined energy is 952 (moderate), and the forecast says "expect very good surf conditions." This is a proper window for the intermediate surfer. The wind is calm, the swell is a clean size, and the reef should handle the longer period well.

Thursday the 13th is also a good morning – 4ft E swell with clean cross-offshore wind. That’s another solid session. After that, the swell fades out through the end of the forecast period, with small, clean waves on the 15th, but nothing to write home about.

So, the standout here is the Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th window for the big-wave crew, but it’s a serious, expert-only proposition. For the rest of us, the best bet is the glassy morning of Wednesday the 12th of August. It’s not the biggest, but it’s clean, the reef will handle the long period, and you’ll have a proper session. The water temp is 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

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.
