The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the Junkyards forecast. Let's be real, this stretch is a bit of a slow burn, but there's a light at the end of the tunnel if you're willing to wait.

The story starts out pretty flat and disappointing. For the first several days, from Monday the 20th right through the end of the following week, we're looking at tiny, weak swell. The wave energy is a joke, sitting in the single or double digits (8 to 80), with swell heights barely reaching 3 ft. The wind is mostly onshore or cross, and the surf is just plain poor. A couple of mornings on Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th go glassy or clean offshore, but the swell is a pathetic 0.7 ft. There's nothing to ride. It's a proper flat spell, and it's going to feel like an eternity.

Things start to get interesting on the weekend, but it's still a bit of a mess. Saturday the 25th brings some clean 1 ft to 2 ft swell from the SE, but the energy is still low (25 to 104). By Sunday the 26th, the swell finally ramps up. We see a 6 ft SE swell at 10 seconds in the morning, building to 7 ft in the afternoon. The energy jumps into the three-digit range (720 to 1128), which is a welcome change. However, the trade winds are up, and while it's cross-offshore, it's a risk of thunderstorms and the forecast is marginal. This is a tease of what's to come, but it's not the cleanest.

The real action, and the only standout in this whole 16-day window, is for the beginning of August. The first of the month, Saturday the 1st, is the one to circle on your calendar. After a week and a half of waiting, the wave gods finally deliver. The outlook is for an 8 ft SSW swell hitting the exposed reef beautifully. The wind is swinging offshore from the ENE at 6 mph, promising clean, groomed faces. The energy is strong (1062), and with a 9-second period, you'll get some proper push. The surf is described as "excellent for experienced surfers," and I'm calling it the best bet of the whole period. This is a solid, powerful SW groundswell and the offshore wind is a major positive. Just a heads up, at 8 ft, this is for the crew who knows what they're doing. Sunday the 2nd will still have some decent 6 ft to 5 ft leftover swell, but the wind picks up and the quality drops off.

After that, it's a quick fade back to flatness by Monday the 3rd and Tuesday the 4th, with the swell dropping and the wind staying strong.

So, the takeaway? The next week is a write-off. The only true standout is the first of August (Saturday) at Junkyards, with a solid SSW groundswell and clean offshore wind. The surf is good, but it's big, so it's expert territory. The rest of the forecast is a long wait for that one window.

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.
