The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. It’s Rusty here, and the next couple of weeks are looking like a grind. There’s not a whole lot of quality on the horizon, but we’ve got a few small windows to consider if you’re keen.

We’re starting off at Junkyards (Big Island). Water temp is 83.7°F, which is pretty much normal for the season. No surprises there.

The first few days are pretty much a wash. Thursday afternoon has a storm risk and a 1.8m W swell, but the cross-shore wind is going to mess it up. The energy is moderate, but the conditions are just marginal at best. Friday and Saturday are cleaner wind-wise, but the swell drops and the period is too short under 8 seconds, which leads to weak, crumbling waves. It’s a poor run.

Sunday morning is the first glimmer of hope. We’ve got a small 0.7m S swell with a clean offshore ENE wind at 20 km/h. It’s small and weak, but it’s the cleanest the break will be in the early forecast. The period is still short, so expect soft, mushy waves.

Then the wind turns nasty. Monday through to Wednesday morning it’s all over the place, with gale-force winds on Tuesday destroying everything. That’s a full no-go.

The next possible window is Thursday the 3rd. Swell jumps to 2.1m from the WNW, but the wind is cross-onshore, which will put a bad chop on the face. It’s got some power with moderate energy, but for a reef break, the onshore wind ruins it. It’s bigger, but a mess.

After that, the second week just fades away. The swell backs off, the winds stay onshore or cross-shore, and there are days with almost nothing on offer. There’s a long stretch of small, poor surf from the 8th onward. Not good.

But there is one thing to keep an eye on. On Sunday the 6th, we get a surfable 1.0m S swell with light winds, and by the afternoon, the wind switches to a light offshore E. That’s the cleanest the surf will be in the whole run, but it’s small. It’s not a standout, but it might be your best chance to get some clean ones. The period is 10 seconds, which adds a little bit of push.

So, it’s a patchy outlook. First week has a couple of moments, but nothing to get too stoked on. The second week is nearly a total blank. Keep the hopes low and the expectations lower. The models might change, but right now, it’s all pretty average.

That’s all from me. Stay salty.

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.
