Junkyards Surf Forecast and Surf Reports

(Okinawa, Japan)

Junkyards Surf Guide

Junkyards in Okinawa is an exposed reef break that has quite reliable surf. Autumn and winter are the favoured times of year for waves. Offshore winds blow from the east northeast. Waves more likely to be from local windswells than distant groundswells and the best wave direction is from the southwest. A choice of left and right reefs. When it's working here, it can get crowded. Hazards include rips, coral and sharks.

We hope you find the new 12-day forecasts and additional details useful.

Kudos to everyone who helped us debug this over the past 3 months.

Be sure to click on the Advanced Surf option to see extra details about the sea-state. Look out for crossing swells and short period local wind swells and chop that will often spoil a groundswell even if the wind is perfect. As yet there is no allowance for this in the swell rating. This is something we are working on.
