The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break this one down. I’ve got the charts in front of me, and for Hakashita, it’s a waiting game.
The water’s warm, right around 28°, which is dead average for this time of year. The first few days, though, are a total loss. A bunch of small, choppy surf with the wind all wrong. Thursday afternoon kicks off with a sloppy 6ft swell that’s all cross-on and messy, and it just doesn’t look good. The energy is weak (472).
Sunday, August 30th gives us a tiny, glassy window. First light is dead calm, with a little 2ft wave coming in from the east, an 11-second period behind it. It’s super clean, but real small and weak (129). A longboard-only kind of morning.
Then we’re dry for a few days. From Monday, August 31st through Wednesday, September 3rd, the wind goes haywire, and the swell pumps up to 13ft, but it’s all blown out with onshore storm winds. The wave energy spikes into the thousands, but with that wind, it’s just a mess. That’s kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing.
Friday, September 4th is the first proper standout. A solid 13ft SSE swell rolls in, but that’s strictly for experts. The magic is in the morning: glassy, dead-calm winds. The energy is super strong (2982), and the 10-second period gives it some real grunt. This is the one to circle.
After that, it’s stormy again, with a giant 21ft swell hitting on Sunday, September 6th. The wind is on it, so it’s just a dangerous, blown-out monster. The combined energy is off the charts at 11572 – that’s serious, serious power.
The next sweet spot is Tuesday, September 8th. The swell drops to a more manageable 8ft, and the wind goes glassy again. This is flagged as excellent for experienced surfers. The same holds for Wednesday and Thursday mornings, September 9th and 10th – glassy starts with 8ft waves right out of the optimum SE direction.
The run finishes strong on Friday, September 11th. Another glassy morning with a clean 7ft SSE swell. Expect very good surf conditions.
Bottom line: forget the first week and a half. The standouts are the mornings of Friday, September 4th and the run from Tuesday, September 8th through Friday, September 11th. That’s your window for clean, solid surf.

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.
