The Lowdown

Alright, I’m gonna level with you – things are looking pretty flat and ordinary for the next couple of weeks around here. This ain’t a time to get excited, but let’s break it down.

Junkyards is the only spot on the radar, and to be honest, it’s a reef break that’s fairly consistent, but we’re in for a long dry spell. The first hint of anything worth paddling out for is on Monday, August 24th. That morning, we’ve got a tiny 3ft southwest swell rolling in with a 9-second period. The combined energy is weak (127), and the water’s sitting at 83°, which is about average for this time of year – no surprises there. The wind’s a light cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean, but honestly, it’s barely surfable. That afternoon and into Tuesday, the wind picks up and the swell drops even smaller. Forget it.

From Wednesday the 26th through Sunday the 30th, don’t even bother. We get a big spike of 13ft to 12ft west and southwest swell with gale-force onshore winds. The energy numbers are huge (between 2163 and 3430), but it’s all blown to pieces – dangerous, messy, and no fun for anyone. That’s kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing. Then it fades into weak, short-period junk for days.

There’s a long gap with nothing rideable from the end of August right through until the start of the second week of September. The only real standout – and I mean the *only* one – happens on Thursday, September 3rd. Could be massive – we’re talking 25ft of southeast groundswell with a 14-second period. The combined energy is off the charts (21919). But here’s the catch: the file says it’s predicted to be too big for this break. That’s expert-only, and even then, with a 43 to 50 mph north wind, it’s gonna be a wild, dangerous beast. If you’re a seasoned charger, that’s your window, but it’s a long shot this far out.

After that, it drops back down to small, weak waves with onshore winds through to the end of the forecast. No real quality on offer.

So, bottom line: Junkyards is a reef that needs a clean southwest swell and light winds to shine, and we just ain’t getting that for another week at least. The big pulse on September 3rd is the only thing that catches the eye, but it’s for experts only if it cleans up. Otherwise, it’s a blank run. Hang tight, check back – forecasts can change.

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.
