The Lowdown

Alright, let’s talk waves. Rusty here again. It’s been a rough stretch out at Junkyards, all blown-out and messy, but I can see some serious swell coming down the pipe. Water’s been sitting right around 84°F, which is normal for this time of year.

The next couple of days are a write-off. Wednesday morning has a nasty 50 km/h cross-onshore wrecking a lumpy 10ft WSW swell. Thursday and Friday are clean but weak and small, with the occasional 5ft wave and not much energy behind it. It’s a grovel, plain and simple.

We get a little taste of hope on Sunday the 30th. The wind goes offshore, and the morning has a clean 5ft SE swell. It’s not big, but it’s a start. Then we hit a flat spell. Monday and Tuesday are small and messy, and Wednesday the 2nd of September is just a giant, choppy mess with a huge 13ft cross-onshore swell. That’s a kitesurfing day if I’ve ever seen one.

Now, listen. Thursday the 3rd of September. That’s the one. The morning is still a bit jumbled, but the afternoon is where the magic happens. The wind goes light cross-off, and the swell jumps to a solid 12ft from the WNW with a long 12-second period. The energy is huge. This is a big, powerful reef wave. It’s for experts only, no question. This is your standout window.

Friday the 4th is still fantastic. A 8ft WNW groundswell with light offshore winds in the morning. It’s a step down in size from Thursday but still excellent, clean, and powerful. A great option if the big day is too much.

After that, the swell backs off through the weekend. There’s a bit of a bump on Monday afternoon with 10ft of short-period NW windswell, but the winds are cross and it won’t be clean. Tuesday and Wednesday look like more of the same, surfable but not great.

So there you have it. The best surf is definitely Thursday afternoon and Friday. Mark it in your calendar. That’s the one to get excited about.

Rusty, out.

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.
