The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Corners over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you – this is shaping up to be a real quiet stretch, so don’t go getting your hopes up too high.
We’re kicking off the forecast period on Thursday the 3rd, and honestly, it’s a tough start. The swell is tiny at 3 ft from the SSW with a period of 11 seconds, and the combined energy is weak (215). The morning shows a bit of cross-off wind from the NNE, which means the surface looks clean, but the wave comment says it’s marginal. The water is a warm 84°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year – no surprises there.
The first few days are a bit of a write-off. Thursday afternoon turns choppy with a cross-shore wind, and Friday the 4th is messy with onshore winds and a building but short-period swell. Saturday the 5th sees the swell push up to 5 ft from the SSW, but it’s short-period (9 seconds) and the wind is onshore, so the quality is poor. By Saturday afternoon, the wind swings to a cross-off from the NNE and the waves clean up, but the swell is dropping fast and the combined energy is moderate (366). Still, it’s not great.
After that, we’re looking at a long, dry spell. Sunday the 6th through to Wednesday the 16th is mostly tiny surf, often under 2 ft, with combined energy dropping into the double digits, and plenty of days with zero energy. You’ll see a few mornings with light offshore winds, but without any swell to push, it’s flat. Thursday the 10th to Tuesday the 15th is particularly bleak – waves are barely a ripple.
The only real standout – and I’m using that term loosely – is Thursday morning the 3rd. That 3 ft SSW swell with 11-second period, cross-off wind, and clean conditions is the best you’ll get. But even then, it’s only a 1 out of 10 score, so it’s not exactly pumping. The wind is offshore, which is a big plus for a reef break like Corners, but the swell is small and the energy is weak. It’s a spot for advanced surfers, and with crowds marked as “often”, you might have to share the lineup on a marginal day.
For the rest of the window, there’s just nothing doing. The second week is dead quiet – tiny windswell, no energy, and a lot of flat spells. If you’re desperate for a paddle, the offshore mornings on the 11th and 13th might give you a knee-high wave, but don’t expect much.
Bottom line: This is a tough run for Corners. The swell is small, the wind is often messy, and the consistency is poor. It’s a spot that can fire when it gets a good SW groundswell, but that’s not in the cards for the next 16 days. Keep your eyes on the charts, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
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.
