The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for our little corner of the world.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with ya – the next week and a half is gonna be a real test of patience. The surf window is lookin' pretty grim for a solid stretch. From the 27th of August right through to the 6th of September, there's hardly a single moment that's worth paddling out for. We're lookin' at a good 10 days of meh, with a lot of stormy, wind-blown slop and some iffy onshore conditions. The swell energy is weak to moderate for most of it, with a combined energy reading of just 148 to 534, which is nothin' to write home about.
Now, after that dry spell, things start to look a whole lot more interesting. The first real glimmer of hope comes on the 7th of September. Hakashita is a reef break, so it's got bottom, but it's inconsistent. That Monday morning, the wind swings around to a light NNE cross-offshore at just 3 mph – that's clean, my friends. We're lookin' at a solid 6 ft SSE groundswell with a period of 11 seconds, comin' in from the right direction. The wave energy is a solid 874, which is a good sign. This is the best we've seen in a while. If you can get out there, it'll be worth it. Just keep in mind, it's a spot that can have crowds, so get there early.
But the real standout is the morning of the 9th of September. That Wednesday morning is a beauty. We've got a tiny 3 ft swell, but it's a proper long-period groundswell from the SSE at 16 seconds. That's a long wait between sets, but the energy is massive at 1275. For a reef setup like Hakashita, that long period is exactly what you want – it'll wrap in and offer up some real shape. The wind is a perfect glassy NNE cross-offshore at 3 mph. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. This is a true stand-out session, but it's a week and a half away, so keep your fingers crossed and hope the forecast holds.
Honestly, if you can hold out, the 9th is the day to point the car towards Hakashita. The 7th is a solid option too, but the 9th has that magic combo of groundswell and glassy conditions.
Stay patient, and I'll see you out there.
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.
Hakashita is 14 km (9 miles) from Takanabe. If you plan a holiday in Kyu Shu, look for hotels and other accommodation in Takanabe. Takanabe has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
