The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Corners.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead. We’ve got a long, long dry spell to start with. From now through the end of the month, the swell is barely registering. The combined wave energy sits at pathetic little numbers like 0 or 3, and for most of the next two weeks the height is either flat or just a couple of inches of slop. The wind does go offshore at times – especially Sunday the 13th through Monday the 14th – which would give us clean conditions, but without any real swell pushing in, it’s just a glassy pond. That’s no good for paddling.
We do see a tiny bump around Wednesday the 23rd of September, with a 2ft swell from the NW. The period is short at 6 seconds, so that’s just weak, wind-driven chop. The combined energy is still only 21, so it’s nothing to get excited about. The wind that morning is cross-off from the N, so it’ll be clean-looking but the waves will be tiny and gutless. Not worth the drive.
The following days through to Sunday the 27th stay flat with a dribble of less than 1ft from the SSE, and winds start cranking from the NE, getting up to 22-25 mph by the weekend. That’s a fresh to strong breeze, so it’ll be blown out and messy, even if there was any wave to ride.
So here’s the straight truth: there isn’t a single standout session in this whole 16-day window. The only break we’ve got info on is Corners, and it’s a reef that needs a proper SW groundswell to work. We’re not getting that. The water temp is 84° – about average for this time of year – so that’s fine, but it doesn’t help the surf.
If you’re desperate for a paddle, the morning of Wednesday the 23rd offers the cleanest conditions with the most wave height, but it’s really just a knee-high bump. Don’t expect much. This is one of those blank runs where the forecasts can always change, but for now, leave the board in the car.
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.
