Table - best surf conditions forecast for Hakashita over the next 16 days.
Hey, this is Rusty. Let’s talk about Hakashita over the next 16 days. It’s a reef break that knows how to turn it on, and the start of this run is absolutely firing – but you’ve got to be ready. Right now, we’re looking at a massive, long-period groundswell from the SSE/S direction. Swell heights are hitting 13 feet early on, with 16–17 second intervals. That’s deep water groundswell, packing a wallop – combined energy readings in the 8000–9000 range, which is strong to very strong. This is expert territory, no doubt.
The best of the best is Sunday morning, July 12. Still a solid 8 feet of S swell at 13 seconds, but the wind goes completely glassy. The ocean will be dead calm – no wind ripples, just clean lines rolling in. That’s about as perfect as it gets for the experienced surfer. Energy is at 1884 (moderate), and these are proper groundswell sets, so expect some waiting time between bombs, but when they come, they’re quality. Crowds can be around sometimes, but a morning like this is worth it.
The other one to circle on your calendar is Friday, July 24 – about a week and a half out, so not locked in yet, but it looks promising. A 6-foot S swell at 12 seconds, glassy wind again, and energy at 882 (moderate). That’s a solid mid-range groundswell for intermediates and above, with clean surfaces.
Now, after that first Sunday, the swell backs off quickly. Monday July 13 gives you a fun, clean 5-foot swell with glassy conditions – still good for the experienced, but smaller. Then it drops fast. From Tuesday July 14 through to around Wednesday July 22, there’s a long, quiet period with tiny waves – mostly 2 to 3 feet, poor conditions, often cross-onshore. Energy values dip below 200 (weak). That’s a solid stretch of flatness. It’s a reef, so it goes dead like that for a while sometimes.
On July 19, Sunday, a small 5-foot SE pulse with short period (8 seconds) and cross-offshore wind gives a clean but choppy little window – nothing to get too excited about.
Water temp is about average for the season, no big anomaly to report. Hakashita (United States) is your only break in the mix. So, the call is: hit that first Sunday hard if you’ve got the skills, then mark July 24 and hope the long-range holds. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game.
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.
