The Lowdown
Righto, let’s have a look at what’s in store for Corners. This is a reef break, fairly consistent, but it’s an exposed spot that needs a good swell angle. Over the next 16 days, there’s a lot of wind and messy conditions to wade through, with only a couple of fleeting windows that might offer something worth paddling out for.
We start off Tuesday the 25th of August with tiny, weak 2ft SW swell, but a fresh north cross-off wind keeps it clean. Combined energy is a paltry 39, so there’s barely any push. It’s poor surf, really just a dribble. That theme sticks into the afternoon with even smaller 1ft waves.
Wednesday the 26th sees a big spike in swell - 12ft from the WSW in the morning, with a near gale onshore wind. The combined energy jumps to 1451, but it’s completely blown out and dangerous. That afternoon, a 8ft NW swell arrives with 2224 energy, but again, near gale cross-onshore. Not for paddling.
Thursday the 27th is still big and messy, with 8ft WSW swell and 2686 energy, cross-onshore from the south. Afternoon cleans up a little with an 12ft SW swell (12-second period) and cross-shore wind, but the energy is a massive 3114. It’s marginal at best, and for a reef break, that size and period is really only for experts, and even then it looks lumpy.
Friday the 28th offers a glimmer: 8ft SE swell in the morning, cross-off wind, and 1178 energy. The sets will be short-period (7 seconds), but it’s clean. Afternoon remains clean with 8ft SE swell. Poor conditions, though, with the wind strong.
Saturday the 29th is the pick of the near-term. A clean 8ft SSE swell with a moderate east cross-off, period around 9 seconds, and energy at 1061. The morning is clear and surfable, but it’s still a marginal call. The afternoon drops off a little.
Sunday the 30th delivers the best we’re likely to see. Morning brings a 3ft SSW groundswell with a clean offshore from the ENE, moderate breeze, and energy at 221. It’s small but clean and off its rocker for the break. The sea surface is about average for the time of year. Expect good conditions, but it’s a small wave. The afternoon stays clean but drops to 3ft.
After that, things get wild again. Monday the 31st has a 7ft SE swell and strong cross-off wind, but it’s marginal. Then a jump to 23ft SSW swell on Tuesday the 1st of September with 11284 energy and near gale winds – that’s a full-on storm surf, only for the crazies.
From the 2nd of September onwards, it’s a mess of gale-force winds, big onshore swell, and falling apart. By the end of the first week of September, the swell drops back to tiny 1-2ft with clean but weak conditions, and by the 9th of September, it’s down to 2ft with no energy.
So, the standout here is Sunday the 30th of August morning. That offshore wind and clean 3ft SSW groundswell at Corners is the only real window for a fun, tidy session. It’s small, but it’s your best shot. The big swells mid-week are blown out and not worth it for paddle surfing – more of a kiter’s playground.

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.
