Hakashita Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, grab ya board. We're looking at a solid run for Hakashita (reef) over the next couple of weeks. Water temp's sitting at 79°, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

It kicks off Monday afternoon, July 6th, with a small but clean 2ft swell from the southeast. The period is a long 17 seconds, so it's proper groundswell and will hold up nicely. Winds are glassy, it's going to be super clean. The combined energy is 277, so it's mellow but fun for a grovel session.

Tuesday morning, July 7th, is where it gets interesting. We've got 5ft of southeast swell at 14 seconds, with glassy conditions again. The energy jumps to 672. This is looking like a real standout for the early part of the week – clean, punchy waves on the reef.

The real gold, though, is Wednesday morning, July 8th. Now we're talking. The swell bumps up to 8ft from the southeast, with a 17-second period. That's a hefty swell for this break. The combined energy is a whopping 3127. Winds are glassy. This is excellent for experienced surfers. It's going to be powerful and lined up. However, at this size, it's too big for beginners. Later that afternoon it gets a bit messy with a cross-onshore breeze as the swell peaks at 10ft.

From Thursday July 9th through to Saturday July 11th, we see a building swell train, but the wind goes onshore or cross-shore. The swell holds at 10ft to 15ft, with energy readings hitting 10898 on Friday afternoon. That's massive energy. While the size is there for experts, the wind is messy so the quality drops. Kite surfers might prefer this setup to the paddle crew.

Sunday morning July 12th brings a drop in size to 6ft and glassy conditions, but the period drops to 12 seconds. It's a reset. Monday July 13th and Tuesday July 14th are small and mostly clean but underwhelming.

A second pulse arrives Wednesday morning July 15th. 5ft from the east-southeast, 13-second period, glassy. The energy is 797. It's a solid, clean option, but nothing compared to that first big pulse.

The next real highlight is a long way off, but it's worth noting. Monday morning July 20th has a cross-shore wind with 7ft from the east, but the real standout of the second week is Tuesday morning July 21st. We get 10ft from the east, a 10-second period, and glassy conditions. The energy is 2700. This is an excellent morning for experienced surfers again, but remember, it's 16 days away, so keep an eye on it.
