The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s on tap for Corners over the next couple of weeks.
First off, we’ve got a long dry spell. The first few days are a total bust. Wednesday the 26th is a complete mess – howling cross-on winds and stormy conditions, with a 10-foot swell from the WSW at a short 8 seconds. That’s ugly. The combined energy is moderate at 930, but it’s all blown out. Thursday and Friday don’t get much better, with messy cross-shore winds and small, short-period junk. Saturday morning offers a tiny 5-foot from the SE with a 6-second period, so it’s weak and gutless. The energy is low at 304.
The first real glimmer comes on Sunday, the 30th of August. The morning looks promising with a clean 5-foot SE swell and offshore winds from the ENE. The energy is moderate at 335, and it’ll be clean. This is a solid option for a relaxed session, but it’s not a standout.
But the real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is Thursday, the 3rd of September. The afternoon session is the pick of the entire forecast. We’re looking at a solid 12-foot swell from the WNW with a long 12-second period. The combined energy is very strong at 3528. The wind is light and cross-off from the north, leaving it clean. This is a serious groundswell, and it’s going to line up nicely at this reef break. For experienced surfers, this is a proper session. It’s a bit big for beginners, but for the crew that knows what they’re doing, it’s the best on offer.
Following that, Friday the 4th of September still has some pull with a 8-foot WNW swell and a 11-second period, with offshore winds in the morning. The energy is strong at 1406. A very good backup day.
After that, the swell tapers off into the second week. The water temperature is sitting at a warm 84°, which is pretty average for this time of year, so no need to worry about a cold one.
So, in short: forget the first week. Sunday the 30th is a nice warm-up, but Thursday the 3rd of September afternoon is the absolute standout. Mark it.
Rusty.

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.
