Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Junkyards has in store for us over the next few weeks.

Right off the bat, this is a wild forecast. We've got a massive pulse of swell on the way, but it's going to be way too big for a while. The water temp is sitting at 84°F, which is pretty much spot on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The real story begins Friday the 10th of July. The swell is predicted to be huge, with a combined energy reading of 24413 - that's serious, powerful groundswell. But folks, at 21ft and coming from the SSE, this is only for the absolute elite. The wind is a strong offshore from the east, which would usually be perfect, but the sheer size makes it a paddling nightmare. This gets even bigger on Saturday the 11th, hitting 33ft (energy of 56450) and then 26ft. It's a wild spectacle, but there's no way I'd be recommending anyone paddle out at Junkyards. This is more in the realm of big-wave chargers or maybe even kite surfers if you're into that kind of thing.

After that massive blowout, we hit a quiet spell. From Sunday the 12th through to Saturday the 18th, the swell drops off dramatically. You're looking at onshore and cross-shore winds creating lumpy, choppy conditions with energy values dropping below 1000. It's a real come-down.

Things start to look a little more promising by Sunday the 19th of July. We get a pulse of 8ft from the SE in the morning, with clean cross-offshore winds from the ESE. The energy is back up to 1033. It's still a bit raw, but it's surfable for the intermediate crew. The afternoon gets bigger at 12ft, but that's starting to push the limits again for comfort.

The real standout is that run from Monday the 20th of July through Wednesday the 22nd. This is by far the best window in the whole forecast. We're looking at consistent 4ft to 5ft of S swell, with a period of 10 seconds. The wind is a clean, moderate offshore from the east both mornings and afternoons. This is the sweet spot for Junkyards. The energy is solid but not crazy, around 500-600, and the conditions will be clean and lined up. For a break that's a fairly consistent reef, this is where you want to be.

After that, the week of the 23rd to the 25th looks a bit more marginal again, with smaller 3ft to 5ft swell and a mix of cross-offshore winds. Nothing to write home about.

So, the headline is clear: steer clear of the monster swell on the 10th and 11th. The best bet for a paddle is Monday the 20th through to Wednesday the 22nd, with those clean, offshore mornings offering the best waves for the intermediate surfer. Everything else in between is pretty average.

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.
