Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the first few days are a bit of a write-off. We’ve got some sizeable swell rollin’ in right now, but the wind is just a mess—cross-shore and lumpy. It’s not worth paddling out for. That lumpy, cross-chop will have you fightin’ the board more than ridin’ it. The water temp is sitting at 84°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
We’ve got a long gap of poor to marginal conditions from Sunday the 12th right through the week. The swell drops right off, and the wind stays messy. Honestly, it’s not until Saturday the 18th that we see a bit of a clean-up, but the swell is tiny—just 2ft from the SW. That’s more of a longboard or cruiser wave, and even then, it’s only just surfable.
The real standout starts to shape up from Monday the 20th. We get a pulse of SSW swell that builds, and the wind finally swings offshore. Monday afternoon sees a clean 6ft SSW swell with a 12-second period (moderate energy at 964) and a cross-offshore breeze. The wave quality should be decent, but it’s not quite the best yet. The true highlight hits on Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 21st. On the 21st, Tuesday morning, we’ve got clean 4ft SSW swell, light offshore wind from the E, and good conditions. Wave energy is moderate (371). That’s a solid session.
But the absolute best of the run is Monday the 27th. The swell builds to 6ft from the SSW, with a 9-second period, light offshore wind from the ENE, and the wave comment says “very good surf conditions.” The energy is a solid 602 (moderate). That’s the one to circle. For Corners, a reef break that’s fairly consistent and exposed to the SW, this is a proper session. The wind is offshore and clean, the swell is solid but not too big for a confident intermediate, and it should be a fun, punchy wave. Just keep in mind, crowds are often here, so get out early.
After that, the surf slowly fades through the end of the month, but there are still clean, ridable waves with offshore winds into the 26th, though smaller.
Overall, there’s a long dry spell at the start, but the end of the second week delivers a couple of clean, solid days. The standout is definitely Monday the 27th of July—that’s the one to point the car at.
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.
