Table - best surf conditions forecast for Corners over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Corners. This is a reef setup that needs a good SW swell to really fire, and when it aligns, it’s a proper wave for experienced surfers only. Don't even think about bringing a foamie.
We've got a big, long period swell on the way, but the timing is everything. The first decent look is Wednesday morning, July 8th. It’s already a solid 7ft of swell, coming from the SE with a very long 17-second period. There’s a ton of energy in the water (2317) and the wind is a gentle offshore breeze from the NE. That means clean, lined-up faces. The only catch? This is a reef break that loves a SW swell direction, not SE, so the waves might be a bit more walled up than perfect. Still, for the experienced crew, that Wednesday morning session is the first real standout.
Thursday, July 9th, the size jumps into serious territory. Thursday morning we're looking at 13ft from the SE with that same long period of 17 seconds. The wind is a fresh offshore from the ENE, so it’ll be clean, but this is big. The wave energy is massive (8574). This is expert-only water. Thursday afternoon gets even bigger, hitting 15ft and the energy goes through the roof (10855). It’s still offshore, but this is not for the casual surfer.
Now, the real size event kicks in from Friday, July 10th through Saturday, July 11th. Friday morning we're looking at a massive 25ft from the SSE with an 18-second period. The wind is a near gale from the E, so it’s cross-offshore. The combined energy is enormous (35721). This is honestly too big for paddle surfing at this break. It’s more of a big wave tow situation or something for the kite crew to eye up. Friday afternoon is similar at 26ft, and Saturday is still holding above 26ft with that same massive energy. These days are a pass for a standard surf session at Corners.
Sunday, July 12th, things start to back off, but it’s still a solid 10ft. The wind swings to a cross-offshore SE breeze, which is okay, but the period drops to 11 seconds and the energy dips. It’s a drop-down in quality.
From Monday, July 13th, we fade into smaller, weaker swell. We get a nice little window on Thursday, July 16th. Thursday morning sees a 3ft swell from the south with a 12-second period, and a moderate offshore from the ENE. This will produce clean, fun waves. Thursday afternoon builds to 5ft from the SSE, period 10 seconds, still with that offshore wind. This is likely the best small-wave window of the second week for a proper session.
After that, from Friday, July 17th onward, it’s a long stretch of poor conditions. The wind goes onshore or cross-shore from the NW and WSW, the swell drops off, and the energy fades. The forecast gets ugly with choppy, lumpy surf. This run of poor conditions lasts for about 6 to 7 days straight, with nothing worth paddling out for. It’s a dead spell.
So, to wrap it up: The absolute standouts are the Wednesday morning session on the 8th for a clean, powerful swell, and the Thursday the 16th session for a cleaner, smaller option. The massive stuff in between is for the big wave chargers or the kite surfers.
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.
