The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m lookin’ at the Junkyards forecast for the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you: it’s a pretty grim stretch for this spot. The whole 16-day window is one long, flat spell with only a tiny flicker of life right at the very end.
The first real sign of any surfable energy doesn’t show up until Monday the 10th of August. That’s a solid two-week gap of nothing worth paddling out for. Before that, we’re looking at tiny, weak waves. On Monday morning the 27th of July, there’s a 2ft swell from the south, but it’s a short-period 8-second windswell with weak combined energy (129). The wind is light offshore from the east, so it’s clean, but the waves are just too small and weak to get excited about. By the 28th, it’s dropping to 1ft. After that, it’s a desert of 0.7ft to 1ft junk for almost two weeks straight. The water temp is a warm 85° with a minimal anomaly, so it’s about average for the time of year, but that’s about the only positive.
Now, the one ray of light. The standouts here are Monday afternoon the 10th of August, and Tuesday the 11th. On the 10th, we get a 4ft swell from the SSW, with a period of 10 seconds and a combined energy hitting 263 (moderate). The wind is cross-offshore from the SE, so it’ll be clean. This is a moderate-sized swell, but still manageable. The following day, Tuesday the 11th, offers a 3ft SSW swell with a 9-second period and 149 combined energy, with clean offshore winds from the NE in the afternoon. That’s the best of the bunch here. The swell direction is SW, which is exactly what this reef likes. Keep in mind this is a reef break, so with that longer period, it should shape up nicely. But the crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so don’t expect to have it all to yourself.
For the rest of the window, it’s just a waiting game. The forecasts could change, but right now, this is a two-week dry spell. If you’re desperate for a paddle, wait for the 10th and 11th of August. Otherwise, save your energy.
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.
