Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ at Ada over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. There’s nothin’ worth paddlin’ out for from now until the end of the first week of July. The water’s sitting at 81°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year – you’ll feel that difference on the skin.
Things start to look a little more interesting come Tuesday the 7th. Tuesday morning sees the swell bump up to 3ft from the ESE, with a very long period of 14 seconds. The wave energy is moderate (826). It’s a bit lumpy with light cross-shore wind, but Tuesday afternoon is where it’s at. That swell jumps to 6ft from the ESE, period stretching out to 18 seconds – that’s some serious groundswell energy (1774). And the wind? Dead glassy. Clean, lined-up waves for experienced surfers. This is your standout window for the whole forecast. Just keep in mind, with a period that long, it might be a bit fat and straight on the beach, but if there's any kind of point or reef structure, it’ll be magic.
Wednesday the 8th gets chunky, with 10ft from the ESE and that same 18-second period, energy now strong at 5424. But the wind swings onshore and gets choppy – that’s expert-only territory, and even then, it’s messy. Thursday the 9th blows out with 15ft and howling onshore winds. Forget it.
After that, the second week is a write-off. From the 10th through the 14th, it’s a mix of stormy conditions, strong winds, and tiny 1ft slop. Not worth a second look.
We get a little flicker on Wednesday the 15th afternoon with a clean 1ft swell – surfable but very ordinary. Then Thursday the 16th morning shapes up okay with 3ft from the east, 13-second period, glassy calm winds, and moderate energy (308). It’s good, clean surf, but it’s only a brief moment before another big swell arrives.
Friday the 17th brings a massive 12ft close-out with gale-force winds. That one’s for the kites, not the paddle crew.
So, to sum it up: if you want the best, you’re looking at Tuesday the 7th afternoon. Clean, powerful, and for the experienced crew. The rest of the run is either flat, blown out, or too small. Keep your eye on that Thursday the 16th morning as a sneaky consolation prize.
Rusty.

Information about the Ada Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Ada provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Ada can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Ada 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 (Ada) 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 Ada 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.
Ada is 34 km (21 miles) from the city of Okinawa. If you plan a holiday in Okinawa, look for hotels and other accommodation in Okinawa. Okinawa has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
