The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into what’s cooking at Corners for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, the first week is a bit of a dud. We’re looking at small, weak swell with cross-on or onshore wind through the middle of the month, and the wave energy is barely a whisper—never cracking triple digits. The water is running about 82°, which is a touch cooler than normal for this time of year, so keep that in mind if you’re paddling out early.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Sunday, July 26th. The morning serves up a clean 3ft swell from the SE, with a light offshore breeze from the ENE. The energy is solid into the moderate range (247), and with a swell period of 11 seconds, you’re looking at proper groundswell—cleaner lines, longer waits between sets. That morning window is the ticket. By the afternoon, the wind picks up to 19 mph, the swell goes to 5ft, and it starts to get a little harder to handle.
Then comes the big one. Monday, July 27th. This is the session you’ve been waiting for if you’re a seasoned surfer. We’ve got a serious groundswell from the SE: 12ft in the morning, 13ft in the afternoon, with a period of 14 to 15 seconds—that’s super long-period energy, proper heavy stuff. The combined energy is massive (4555-6228), so this is strictly for experts. The wind is offshore but strong to near-gale (25-31 mph), which will keep the face clean but make paddling out a real fight. Corners is a reef, so that long-period swell will wrap in nicely, but it’s not a day for beginners. The best window is Monday morning.
After that, it falls apart fast. Tuesday the 28th brings a severe gale from the SW that trashes the lineup, and the rest of the week into early August is a mix of onshore winds and tiny, weak swell. The second week is a total loss—nothing worth chasing.
So, here’s the bottom line: Sunday, July 26th morning for a clean, fun 3ft SE swell, and the absolute standout is Monday, July 27th morning for the big, expert-level groundswell. Don’t waste your time on the rest.

Information about the Corners Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Corners provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Corners can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Corners 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 (Corners) 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 Corners 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.
Corners is 5 km (3 miles) from Misato. If you plan a holiday in Okinawa, look for hotels and other accommodation in Misato. Misato has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
