Hakashita Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk Hakashita. We’ve got a couple weeks of mixed conditions coming up, so here’s the rundown.

We start off Tuesday the 15th with some clouds and a light offshore wind. Waves are around 5ft from the ESE with a 10-second period. It’s clean enough, but nothing special. That’s the first session window. The afternoon brings a risk of thunderstorms and onshore winds, so that’s a wash.

Wednesday the 16th is smaller, 4ft, but still clean in the morning with that cross-offshore breeze. Period drops to 9 seconds, so less push. Thursday the 17th is similar – 4ft, clean, but short-period. Just small, clean fun.

Friday the 18th is when the size steps up. We’re looking at 7ft in the morning, climbing to 8ft by the afternoon. But the wind goes cross-shore, so the quality suffers a bit. It’s a lot of water moving, but it gets a bit lumpy.

Now, Saturday the 19th – this is the one. Morning has a solid 12ft ESE swell with a 16-second period – that’s real groundswell. The wind is light and offshore, leaving things clean and lined-up. Energy is a serious 6164 – that’s strong. For the experienced surfer, this is as good as it gets in this forecast. It’s big, powerful, and clean. A real standout.

Sunday the 20th is still huge, holding at 16ft, but the wind picks up, making it less perfect. Energy is over 10,000 – massive. There are waves, but it’s not as clean as Saturday.

Monday the 21st is the cutoff. The swell jumps to nearly 20ft, and with a fresh cross-shore breeze and thunderstorms, it’s just too big for this place. Same story Tuesday the 22nd – 20ft, but choppy and onshore. That’s not surfable.

After that, the bottom falls out. Wednesday the 23rd has gale-force winds and rain, completely blown out. Thursday the 24th is tiny, around 2ft, and messy. There’s a real dead period from the 23rd through the 26th. Just small, weak, and junky.

We get a little bump on Sunday the 27th – 6ft, but with cross-shore winds and lumpiness. Rain moves in. Monday the 28th is a bit cleaner, with offshore winds and 6ft to 7ft from the SSE. Better shape, but not a classic.

Then the final pulse – Tuesday the 29th. It’s raining, but the wind is offshore and the swell is back up to 12ft with a strong energy reading. Big and clean, but the weather is nasty. If you don’t mind getting wet from the sky, there’s power there. Wednesday the 30th is heavy rain, a fresh cross-shore, and 13ft – lumpy and messy. Not the way to end the run.

So, if you’re picking your time, Saturday the 19th morning is the clear winner. Big, clean, long-period. The other small windows on the 15th and 16th are for a log. Everything else is too big, too small, or blown out.

That’s the picture. Be smart, and don’t miss that Saturday.

Rusty.
