The Lowdown

G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's look at the surf ahead for Hakashita.

First up, the water's sitting at a warm 84°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year – no surprises there.

Right now, we've got a bit of a quiet spell. The best bet in the whole 16 days is actually a long way off, but it looks like a ripper. On the morning of Friday, 4th September, we're looking at a solid 13ft swell from the SSE, and with glassy conditions, it's going to be clean. The combined energy is massive at 2915 – that's a powerful, strong system. The swell period is a moderate 10 seconds, so it'll have some punch but not be too hard to handle. This is definitely for experienced surfers only, it's a big day. But that's the standout.

Before that, there's a lot of chop. The 26th of August has a 7ft S swell, but with a risk of thunderstorms and a light SSE wind, it's just marginal. The energy is strong (1311), but the conditions aren't making it easy.

The 29th of August morning has a glassy window with a tiny 2ft E swell – long period at 12 seconds but weak energy (187), so it's a long-period, small groundswell that might be a bit too straight for the beach break, but it's clean. The 30th of August morning is similar, glassy but only 2ft.

The 31st of August has a small 3ft to 4ft SSE swell, but it's cross-shore, so not great.

Then we get a big push from the 1st of September. An 8ft SE swell jumps to 12ft in the afternoon, but the wind is howling – 25 mph from the E, making it messy. The energy is off the charts (3952), but it's blown out. This pattern continues through the 2nd and 3rd, with huge swell (8ft to 13ft) but strong onshore winds. It's more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.

Then we get that golden morning on the 4th of September – glassy, 13ft SSE. That's the one to circle on your calendar.

After that, the 5th of September is a write-off with a near gale, and the 6th is small and marginal. The 7th of September morning looks promising again though: 6ft from the SE, glassy, with moderate energy (1076) – a solid, clean session for experienced surfers. The 8th of September morning is also a standout: 12ft from the SE, glassy, strong energy (2997), again for the experienced crew.

The 9th and 10th have more solid swell (7ft to 15ft) but with increasing cross-onshore wind, so the quality drops off.

So, to wrap it up – the absolute best is Friday morning, 4th September. It's a big, glassy day at Hakashita. 7th and 8th September mornings are also excellent, clean, and powerful. Don't get your hopes up for the first week – it's mostly bumpy. The swell is mostly from the SSE, which is from the optimum direction for this reef.

Keep an eye on the long-range, it's shaping up to be a good one.

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.
