Table - best surf conditions forecast for Hakashita over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a good look at what’s coming up for Hakashita.
Right off the bat, it’s gonna be a bit of a slow start. The first real chance for a surf comes in on Sunday, 12 July, but it’s not a day to get too excited. We’ve got some solid swell from the south, but the wind is a problem. The wave energy is strong at 2059, but the wind is blowing cross-on, and the size is around 8ft. That’s a big, powerful, messy wave. It’s really only for the experienced crew, and even then, the conditions are a bit of a battle. The water is sitting at 79°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year, so you might want a spring suit if you’re feeling the chill.
Monday morning, 13 July, is the standout of the whole outlook. The wind drops to nothing, and we get a glassy, clean surface. The swell is still a solid 5ft from the south, with a period of 11 seconds, giving it a bit of grunt. The combined energy is moderate at 493, but it’s the clean conditions that make it work. This is the best session on offer – a proper, clean reef wave. Keep in mind, Hakashita is an inconsistent spot, so when it’s like this, you’ve got to make the most of it. With the crowds listed as “sometimes”, you might have a few others out there, but it’s not a zoo.
After that, the surf drops off quickly. Tuesday morning, 14 July, is still glassy but the swell is down to 3ft, and the energy is weak at 153. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. From Wednesday, 15 July, through the rest of the week, we’re looking at tiny waves under 3ft most days. The wind is often light or glassy, which is nice, but there’s just no power. The combined energy stays below 100 for a lot of it, which is weak.
The next blip of interest comes around Saturday, 18 July, with a new pulse of swell from the ESE. The Saturday afternoon sees the size bump up to 5ft, and the period jumps to 16 seconds – that’s a very long period groundswell. The energy is moderate at 770. The wind is cross-on though, which is a bit of a letdown. It’s a marginal day, but you’ll see some clean lines. This long period stuff can be a bit tricky at a reef, but it’ll have plenty of push.
Sunday, 19 July, is the biggest of this second pulse, with 8ft from the east. The energy is strong at 1313, but it’s raining, and the wind is cross-on again. This is big, powerful, and messy. With the size over 8ft, it’s really only for experts. The conditions are a bit of a write-off for a clean session.
The following week, starting Monday, 22 July, the swell backs off again. Tuesday and Wednesday mornings (22 and 23 July) have glassy conditions with waves around 3ft to 5ft, and the energy is low. It’s surfable but ordinary. The rest of the week into the end of the outlook is very small, with waves barely breaking 2ft to 3ft, and the wind is often light. It’s not really worth paddling out unless you’re desperate.
So, to sum it up: the clear winner is Monday morning, 13 July. That’s the one with the clean, glassy conditions and a decent 5ft south swell. The Saturday afternoon, 18 July, offers a bigger, long-period swell, but the wind is a bit of a spoiler. The rest of the 16-day window is flat or marginal.
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.
