The Lowdown
Gutted, folks. I’ve stared at this forecast until my eyes went square, and I gotta tell you, it’s a grim one. For the next 16 days, there is not a single session here that I’d paddle out for. Not one. The model is showing wave heights mostly around 0.7ft to 1ft, and the few times it tries to push a touch of energy our way, the direction is all wrong for Corners (Corners_2). That spot wants a solid SW groundswell to light up, and we just aren't getting it. The combined swell energy is pitiful, reading at single digits and low double digits for the most part, like 8 or 14, with the only slightly meaningful bumps being 74 and 57. That is weak, weak energy. It's a flat spell, plain and simple.
We are looking at a solid ten days of nothing. From Sept 9th through Sept 18th, the swell is either non-existent or anemic. The most promising bit in that stretch is early on Sept 12th, when a 3ft SE swell at 6 seconds shows up, but that short period swell won't have any push, and the energy is still weak (74). It's a tease. With winds cross-off and light to moderate for most of that time, it would have been clean, but there’s just nothing to ride.
There's a brief flicker of something on Sept 13th and 14th, with a 1ft S swell and a period of 7 seconds, but the energy is ridiculously low, and the direction is wrong. It’s about as exciting as watching paint dry.
The only real change in the pattern comes with a blow, not a swell. Around Sept 20th and 21st, the wind absolutely howls from the NNE, hitting 56 mph by Monday afternoon. That whips up a tiny 3ft WNW swell, but it’s stormy trash. Combined energy is still hardly cracking 57 (moderate at best, but in reality just windslop), and periods of 6 seconds means it’s messy and short-period junk. By Sept 22nd, the wind swings around to a severe gale from the SSW, cross-onshore at Corners, and blows the place out completely. That setup looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Honestly, if you see anyone out there, they’re either kitesurfing or completely delusional.
So, that’s the long and short of it. The water temp is a toasty 83° which is about normal for this time of year (anomaly -0.2°), but that’s about the only thing that’s on par. We just have to wear this one. The good news is Corners is a fairly consistent reef, so this kind of dead run doesn't usually happen often. Forecasts can change at the drop of a hat.

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.
