Table - best surf conditions forecast for Corners over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming our way for the next couple of weeks.
First up, water temps are sitting at a balmy 84°, which is spot on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
To be honest, the outlook starts off pretty grim. We’ve got a couple of days of messy, lumpy conditions with a decent amount of energy in the water – we’re talking a combined energy of (4627) on Sunday morning – but it’s all coming from the south with a cross-shore wind that’s making a mess of things. The swell is a solid 12 ft with a 12-second period, but that onshore breeze is just chopping it up. That’s big, powerful stuff, but it’s not going to be any fun for a paddle. This setup actually looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. That runs through Sunday and Monday, with the swell dropping but the wind staying cross-shore.
We then hit a real flat spell. From Tuesday the 14th right through to the end of the following week, the swell just fades away. We’re looking at tiny waves, often under 3 ft, and the wind is swinging around to the south-west and then onshore. It’s pretty much a write-off for any decent surfing. There’s a long gap of about 6 days where conditions are just not worth getting wet for.
Now, the first real standout comes on Monday the 20th of July. The swell picks up again to a clean 5 ft from the SSW, with a nice long 12-second period. That’s a proper groundswell. The wind is forecast to be light and offshore from the east-northeast, so Corners (reef) is going to be absolutely clean. Combined energy is a solid (568). This is the best on offer across the whole window. The water is warm, the waves are a good size for a fun session, and that offshore wind is going to make it look like a postcard. Just keep in mind it’s a reef break, so it’s for the more experienced crew. Crowds are often here, so expect some company.
Tuesday the 21st still looks promising with a similar 5 ft SSW swell and a 12-second period, but the wind is a bit more east-southeast, so it’s a cross-offshore breeze. Still clean, but not quite as perfect as Monday. The energy is high (698) though.
After that, the swell starts to fade again through the rest of the week, with a return to small, weak surf. The wind does stay offshore for a few days, but the waves just aren’t there to make it worthwhile. The last few days of the outlook show a bit of a bump from the south, but it’s all small and messy.
So, bottom line: the first week and a half is a dud. The only real window to get excited about is Monday the 20th of July. Get on it if you can.
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.
