The Lowdown

Alright, let’s have a look at what’s happening over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you: for the most part, it’s pretty quiet around here. Hanamizu River (beach/sandbar) is the only spot on the radar, and to be honest, the first week and a half are mostly a write-off. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and poor conditions through until the tail end of the period. The water temp is sitting around 82°F, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so no worries there.

The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Sunday morning, August 23rd. That morning we get glassy conditions with a small 2ft SSW swell – period is a solid 10 seconds, so it’s got a bit of push. Energy is moderate at 140. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. The real standout, though, is Monday morning, August 24th. That’s the one. We’ve got 4ft of SE groundswell, period stretching out to a very long 16 seconds, and glassy conditions. The energy jumps up to 736 – that’s strong. That combination of clean, lined-up swell and no wind is about as good as it gets here. This is the pick of the whole forecast. The swell is a bit long for a beach break, so expect some fat sets and longer lulls, but the shape should be there. Just be aware that size is borderline for beginners – it’s a solid chest-to-head high day for the better sandbars.

After that, the swell fades quickly. Tuesday the 25th has some energy left but the wind turns cross and the quality drops. From there, it’s back to small, messy, or onshore stuff right through to the end of August. The 30th shows a bump in period (21 seconds) on the afternoon, but with only 1ft and light onshore wind, it’s not going to be any good.

So, the clear call is Monday morning, August 24th. If you can get out there, that’s your window. Everything else is either flat or blown out.

Information about the Hanamizu River Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Hanamizu River provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Hanamizu River can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Hanamizu River 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 (Hanamizu River) 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 Hanamizu River 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.
