The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Corners.
Honestly, the next week and a half is a tough stretch. We’ve got a real dry spell coming up. Right from the start, it’s a no-go. We’re looking at a solid gap of about a week with hardly anything worth paddling out for. There’s a chance of a storm and fresh onshore winds through Saturday the 5th, with some poor, lumpy swell around 5 ft to 5 ft and weak energy (859). Not the kind of day that gets you excited.
Sunday the 6th morning offers a flicker of hope. The wind swings around to a fresh offshore from the NE at 19 mph, cleaning things right up. But the swell is a measly 4 ft from the SSW, with a short period of 8 seconds and weak energy (204). It’s just too small and weak to get any real joy, and the wave comment calls it marginal. Later Sunday and into Monday and Tuesday the swell just fades away completely.
Things stay flat or tiny all the way through to Thursday the 10th afternoon, where a tiny bit of 3 ft NW swell creeps in with a light breeze. Still, it’s just not enough.
Then, about a week away, on Saturday the 12th of September, the model throws us a proper bone. This is the standout. Saturday morning sees a jump in swell to 7 ft from the SSE, with a moderate 10-second period. The combined energy is strong (1370), and it’s paired with light, cross-offshore winds from the ESE at 9 mph. The afternoon cleans up and the comment says to expect very good surf conditions. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The swell is solid, and with those light winds and the break being a reef exposed to a SW optimum, that SSE swell should wrap in nicely. Keep in mind, at 7 ft, this is getting into expert territory, not one for the beginners. The water temperature is about 83°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
After that little pulse, Sunday the 13th still has some rideable waves but it drops off quickly into a small, clean but weak pattern for the rest of the window. There’s nothing else that really fires.
So, to sum it up: wait it out through a flat and poor first week. Your best bet, and it’s a decent one, is Saturday the 12th of September at Corners. 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.
