The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The next 16 days at Hakashita are a real mixed bag, and we’ve got a big gap at the start. There’s nothing worth paddling out for on the 8th or 9th, so don’t even bother waxing up. The first real chance comes on Tuesday, the 11th of August.
On Tuesday morning, the 11th, we finally see a glimmer of hope. The wind goes dead calm, glassy as a mirror, and there’s a 3.6ft swell coming from the east with a long 12-second period. The combined energy is moderate (594). Water temp is sitting at 84°, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so no need to dig out the steamer. It’s an exposed reef setup here, so that long period groundswell will wrap in nicely. The direction is from the E, and the optimum is SE, so it’s a bit off-angle but still rideable. It’s inconsistent, so don’t expect a set every minute, but the glassy conditions make it worth the wait. Crowds are sometimes a factor here, so you might have a few friends out.
The pick of the whole forecast, though, is Thursday morning, the 13th of August. It’s small – only 2.6ft from the south, period 9 seconds – but the wind is glassy again from the NE, and the combined energy is weak (177). The water is still bathwater warm. For a tricky, inconsistent reef break like Hakashita, a clean, small day is often better than a messy, bigger one. This is the standout. It’s not for beginners, but for the experienced surfer, this is the cleanest window we’ve got.
Looking further out, the second week gets a bit messy. There’s a slight uptick in swell around the 19th of August, with a 6.6ft easterly swell (combined energy strong at 606), but it’s cross-onshore wind, so it’ll be chopped up. Not worth the paddle. The 23rd of August has a tiny 2.0ft swell with a very long 16-second period, and glassy wind, but the energy is weak (119). That long period is better suited to a point or river mouth, and on a reef like this, it might just break too straight.
Overall, it’s a lean run. It’s not a place that gets consistent, firing waves, so a blank patch like this isn’t unusual. Keep your eyes on that Thursday morning, the 13th. That’s your best bet.

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.
