Alright, this is Rusty. We’re talking about a gnarly situation here. The whole region’s on a bit of a wild ride, but trust me when I say there’s light at the end of the tunnel.

First off, Junkyards (reef) is the only game in town for this forecast, and it starts with a bang but a dangerous one. Right off the bat Saturday afternoon the 11th, we see a massive pulse of S swell hitting 26.2ft at a very long 16 seconds. The combined energy is immense at 30,854 – that’s serious, powerful water. The wind is a raging SE gale at 40 mph, creating cross-off conditions. The water temp is 84°, which is bang average for this time of year. Listen, for experts only. This isn’t a beginner’s wave; it’s big, it’s heavy, and it’s got a ton of energy. The offshore wind will hold it up, but the size makes it a no-go for anyone without serious experience.

After that initial blast, things get messy. We’ve got a solid 9-day gap of poor conditions. From Sunday the 12th all the way through the following Saturday the 19th, it’s mostly cross-shores or onshore winds, dropping swell sizes, and combined energy falling well below 500. It’s choppy, lumpy, and not worth paddling out. There’s a decent swell on the 20th, but that’s a ways off.

Now, let’s look ahead. The real standout is Monday the 20th into the start of the next week. Monday morning the 20th, we get 3.6ft of groundswell from the SW, with a nice 12-second period and clean, clean conditions thanks to light E cross-off winds at 9 mph. The combined energy is a solid 689. Monday afternoon holds similar with 4.2ft at 13 seconds. This is the best run of clean, surfable waves in the whole window. Then, glassy dawn patrols start creeping in. The absolute best session looks to be Saturday the 25th of July. That’s 11.5ft of SSW swell, a period of 10-11 seconds, and glassy conditions with barely any wind. The energy is pumping at 2,484 to 2,739. This is powerful, clean, and for experts only due to the size. It says it’s excellent for experienced surfers, and that’s the pick of the entire 16 days.

So, overall: an immediate, dangerous peak for experts, a long stretch of flatness, then a really green run starting the week of the 20th, peaking with a glassy, powerful day for the hardcore crew on the 25th. The later stuff is looking promising but is less certain this far 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.
