G’day, Rusty here. Bit of a slow start, but there’s a proper window of clean, strong swell coming up mid-week if you’re willing to wait. Let’s break it down.
The first few days are pretty average. Sunday (5th July) through Monday (6th July) – Hakashita is small and messy, with 1 ft to 2 ft ESE/SSW swell and a light cross-shore breeze. Poor conditions, barely surfable. Hang tight.
Then Tuesday morning (7th July) things start to get interesting. The swell jumps to 5 ft from the SE with a clean 14-second period, and it’s glassy with no wind. Combined swell energy hits 663 (moderate). This is the first real chance for a surf – clean lines, decent shape for a reef break like Hakashita. As the afternoon comes in, the swell picks up to 5 ft but the wind shifts cross-onshore, so mornings are the go.
Wednesday morning (8th July) is a standout. The swell pulses up to 10 ft from the SE at 18 seconds – that’s a long-period groundswell, powerful and straight. For a reef break, this kind of period can mean punchy, well-shaped waves, but at 10 ft it’s only for experienced surfers. The wind is glassy (0 mph), combined energy is 5050 (strong). This is one of the best windows in the outlook.
Thursday morning (9th July) is even better. 12 ft swell from the SSE, 16-second period, and again glassy conditions. The combined energy hits 8540 (very strong). This is exceptional for experts – clean, heavy, and consistent. The reef will handle that direction well. The afternoon sees the wind turn cross-onshore, so mornings are your window.
Friday (10th July) has the biggest swell of the run – 15 ft from the SSE, 17-18 seconds, with light cross-shore winds. Combined energy is extreme at 15784. But the finder straight up says it might be too big for this break. At this size, only the most experienced big-wave chargers should even look at it. Not a beginner’s day.
From Saturday (11th July) onward, the swell gradually backs off. Still solid on Saturday (12 ft to 10 ft, S/SW) but with onshore winds making it choppy. Sunday (12th July) is cleaner – 6 ft S swell, glassy morning, combined energy 1097 (moderate). Good for experienced surfers, but the swell is dropping.
By Monday (13th July) to Wednesday (15th July), it’s small again – 2 ft to 4 ft, mostly S swell, with light winds and occasional cross-off. Surfable but nothing special. Thursday (16th July) sees a little bump from the east, 3 ft at 9 seconds, but it’s mixed with leftover S swell. Marginal.
Friday (17th July) has a tidy little pulse – 4 ft from the east, 8-9 seconds, with clean cross-off winds. That’s a fun small-wave morning for the reef, but nothing big.
After that, the outlook gets messy again. Saturday (18th July) to Monday (20th July) has taller swell (4 ft to 10 ft) but all with cross-shore or moderate onshore winds, and periods are short (8-10 seconds). Combined energy is moderate to strong, but the chop and poor wind make it average at best.
Overall, the clear winner is Thursday morning (9th July) at Hakashita (reef) – 12 ft SSE groundswell, 16-second period, glassy, combined energy 8540 (very strong). Expert only. The second best is Wednesday morning (8th July) – same setup but slightly smaller and even longer period (18 secs).
Hakashita is a reef break, and with this long-period SE/SSE swell, those waves will hold their shape well. Just be aware that it’s an inconsistent spot, so when it fires, it’s a treat. Crowds are possible on those standouts, so get in early.
No major extremes in water temp – it’s about average for the time of year.
That’s the story. Stay sharp, and get out there on that Thursday morning if you can handle it.
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.
