The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks at Corners.
Honestly, it's a pretty grim start. We're looking at a long stretch of flat, useless conditions through the first week of August. From Friday 31 July right through to Wednesday 6 August, the swell is either tiny or non-existent, with most days showing a paltry 0.7ft to 1.0ft of weak, short-period energy. The combined wave energy is barely registering, often in the double digits (23, 26, 13). It's just not worth getting wet. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 86°F, but that's little comfort when there's nothing to ride.
Now, what's brewing out there is a monster, but it's a tricky one. Thursday 7 August is going to see a massive pulse of swell hit, with a 31ft swell from the west at a 13-second period. The combined energy is absolutely pumping at 30753, but there's a major catch. The wind is forecast to be storm force, hitting 62 mph out of the northwest, and the forecast notes the swell is predicted to be too big for this break. This is expert-only territory, and even then, it's going to be a wild, dangerous mess. The following days are still blown out with strong, messy winds and dropping swell.
For the only real bright spot, you have to wait until Friday 14 August. The morning is looking clean with light offshore winds from the east, and a 3ft south swell with a 10-second period. The combined energy is a modest 206, so it's not going to be pumping, but it's the only window in the whole outlook where the stars align. The waves won't be big, but they'll be clean and rideable. Crowds are *often* an issue at Corners, so you might have some company.
Rusty out.

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.
