Table - best surf conditions forecast for Junkyards over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s talk Junkyards. This reef spot has a forecast that runs a good two weeks, so we’ve got everything from heavy hitters to flat spells.
First up, Wednesday the 8th is the real deal. A 7ft swell from the SE with a very long 17-second period is pumping, and the combined energy is a massive 2317. That’s proper groundswell. With a gentle offshore breeze from the NE, the face is going to be glassy. That is your window, if you’ve got the experience to handle it.
Thursday the 9th gets even bigger – 13ft in the morning up to 15ft in the afternoon, still with that dreamy 17-second period. The energy is crazy high (8574 to 10855), and the wind stays offshore but it’s a fresh breeze. That is strictly for experts only.
From Friday the 10th through Sunday the 12th, we see monster swell, over 24ft with energy in the tens of thousands, but the wind goes cross-offshore, and the call says it’s simply too big for this break. The quality tanks. Then we hit a major lull from Monday the 13th through Wednesday the 15th, with waves dropping to 3ft and weak energy. Not worth paddling for.
Looking into the second week, Thursday the 16th offers a small bounce. A 3ft swell from the S with a 12-second period and moderate offshore wind gives you a cleaner, more manageable option. But the rest of the run into late July is all onshore and cross-shore wind with tiny swell. So, mark your calendar for that Wednesday the 8th. The water temp is average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

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.
