The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking.
Honestly, mate, it’s a bit of a flat spell coming up for the Hanamizu River area. We’ve got a 16-day window staring at us, but there’s really nothing to get excited about. The first few days show some swell, but it’s messy and the conditions are just not cooperating. The outlook is pretty lean.
The only real pulse of energy hits around the 8th and 9th of September, with a south swell pushing in. Wednesday the 9th morning sees the biggest swell at 6.6ft from the south, but the period is a short 8 seconds and the wind is a cross-shore 15 mph from the southwest, making it a choppy mess. The combined swell energy is moderate at best (591). Wednesday afternoon cleans up a bit with a cross-offshore wind, dropping to 5.9ft south swell, but it’s still a marginal call. Thursday the 10th morning drops to a clean 3.3ft from the south, but it’s light rain and the energy is weak (149). After that, swell just fades away.
The rest of the forecast is tiny, under 1.6ft for days, with mostly clean but completely unrideable conditions. There’s a bit of glassy water on the 15th and again on the 21st and 22nd, but with swell barely reaching 1.6ft, you’re just looking at a pond. The water is currently a touch warmer than normal at 81.9°F, but that’s about the only highlight.
Bottom line: there are no good surf options in this entire 16-day period. The Hanamizu River is a beach/sandbar setup, fairly exposed to the south, but the swell just doesn’t have the size or the right wind to make it happen. For a beginner-friendly spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a real bummer of a stretch. Occasionally this area can go quiet, but this is a proper dry spell.
Stay patient, mate. The forecasts can always flip.

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.
