The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the outlook starts off pretty quiet. For the first week, from July 25th right through to August 2nd, we’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak surf. The wave heights stay tiny, mostly between 1.0ft and 2ft, with combined swell energy reading low, often under 100 (97) and only occasionally bumping into the low 100s. The swell is coming from the SE or S, with periods around 9 to 10 seconds, so nothing with any real grunt.
The real story, though, is the window that opens up around the start of the second week. Things start to get interesting from August 3rd. The standout period is Wednesday, August 5th, through to the following weekend.
The absolute best of the bunch looks like Wednesday morning, August 5th, at Hakashita (a reef break). The swell is a solid 7ft out of the east, with a very long period of 16 seconds. That’s proper groundswell with a ton of energy (2483). The wind is glassy – just a slight air from the ENE – so it’s going to be clean. The combined energy is strong, and this is definitely one for experienced surfers as it’s over 8ft. The reef setup will handle that long period nicely.
The swell builds through the week. By Saturday, August 8th, we’re looking at a much bigger 10ft swell from the south, also with a 16-second period. The combined energy is very strong (4459). The wind is a light cross-shore in the morning, which is workable. This is big, powerful, expert-only territory.
Watch out for Sunday, August 9th. The swell explodes to 18ft to 21ft out of the SE, with energy readings off the charts (15902 to 23923). The forecast says it’s simply too big for this break. For a reef, that’s a serious cleaning out zone. Only the absolute top-tier chargers should even think about it, and even then, it’s a massive risk.
The water temperature is sitting at a warm 84°F, which is about average for this time of year.
So, for the average surfer, the first week is a write-off. The real target is Wednesday, August 5th, for the best combination of size, direction, and clean conditions. After that, it gets big and gnarly.
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.
