The Lowdown

Alright mate, let me tell you how it’s looking. The whole 16-day window is a tough one. Only one break is showing anything, and every session is rated as poor surf conditions. There are long gaps of days with nothing at all. It’s a real flat spell, so don’t be surprised if you end up spending more time on the beach than in the water.

The first surf we see is on Friday the 4th of September at Junkyards. This is a reef break for intermediate folks. Water temp is 83°F, pretty average for the season. Friday morning has a 6ft SW swell, period of 10 seconds, moderate energy (650). But the wind is smashing out of the SW at 19 mph, onshore, and with a risk of thunderstorms, it’s ugly out there. Friday afternoon is 6ft, still onshore from the WSW at 16 mph, same poor story.

Saturday the 5th is even worse. Wind is 22 to 28 mph, cross-onshore, creating a lumpy, messy sea. Saturday afternoon jumps to 8ft from the NW, but with a short 8-second period and a strong breeze, the energy hits 1164 (strong energy). This isn’t for paddle surfing – that’s more of a kite-surfing setup if anything.

From Sunday the 6th, it drops into tiny stuff. Sunday morning is 2ft from the SSW, clean with a cross-offshore NE breeze at 19 mph, but just too small. Monday the 7th through Wednesday the 9th is all 1ft to 3ft, clean but tiny. Thursday the 10th goes down to 1ft. The energy numbers are in the single digits for most of that second week.

Friday the 11th afternoon gives a slight bump – 4ft from the SE, clean, but still not quality. Saturday the 12th morning is the best of the lot: 5ft from the SSE, period of 9 seconds, moderate energy (275), clean with a cross-offshore breeze. The swell direction is a bit off the ideal SW, and the rating is still poor. After that, it’s back to flat and tiny dribble, with completely flat days on the 15th and 19th. If you’re really keen, Saturday the 12th morning is your only shot, but keep expectations low. For this place, these blank runs are normal, so hang tight – things can change.

Rusty.

Information about the Junkyards Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Junkyards provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Junkyards can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Junkyards 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 (Junkyards) 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 Junkyards 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.

Junkyards 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.
