The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. To be straight with you, the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off for decent waves. The conditions are just poor, with onshore and cross-onshore winds messing up what little swell there is. We’re looking at a big gap of at least ten days with no real recommendation. It’s one of those periods where the ocean just isn’t cooperating.
The only spot that even starts to look interesting is Corners, a reef break. It’s not until Saturday, July 25th, that we see a glimmer of hope. The morning of the 25th, the swell is tiny at 2ft from the SW, but the wind goes glassy. That’s a major positive. The combined swell energy is weak (62), so it’s not going to be powerful, but for a light, clean session on a small board, it’s all we’ve got. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
The following day, Sunday the 26th, is actually the pick of the whole 16 days. The swell drops even more to 1ft, but it’s coming from the SE with a period of 10 seconds, which is a bit more of a groundswell. The wind is offshore from the ENE, and the conditions are clean. The combined energy is still weak (52 in the morning, 54 in the afternoon), but for a reef break, that clean, offshore wind on a tiny groundswell will be the most fun you’ll have all fortnight. Expect crowds to be possible, as it’s fairly consistent for a spot that rarely gets clean.
After that, from the 27th, the wind goes strong and the swell disappears completely. It’s a total blank run. The forecast is pretty grim, but for a spot like this, a blank run is more normal than not.

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.
