The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s see what we’ve got coming.

Truth is, it’s looking pretty flat and grim for the next couple of weeks. Junkyards (reef) is the only break on the menu, and the numbers tell the story – a long stretch of very small, low-quality surf.

Water temp is 29°, right on the money for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.

We kick off Wednesday morning the 2nd: a tiny 0.9m SW swell with a 10-second period and a cross-off breeze. It’s clean but weak – combined energy is just 145, so barely any push. The afternoon cleans up with an offshore wind, but still very ordinary.

Thursday the 3rd offers a bit more. Morning brings a 1.1m SW swell at 11 seconds, energy up to 283 – still moderate. Clean, but risk of thunderstorms. The afternoon is the real standout: a 1.7m WSW swell with a 12-second period and a cross-shore wind. Energy jumps to 1070 – that’s strong. For experienced surfers only, that’s solid size, and the cross-shore wind will leave some chop.

From Friday the 4th onward, it’s downhill. Swell drops below 1m, winds turn onshore or cross-onshore, and energy readings fall into the weak range (19 to 295). Most days are just “poor surf conditions” with no real quality.

There’s a long dry spell from Friday the 4th right through to the 17th of September – nothing worth getting wet for. Swell is tiny, mostly 0.3m to 0.6m, with short periods of 7–8 seconds. Winds are often cross-off or offshore, keeping the surface clean, but there’s no power. Combined energy stays below 100 for most of the second week, often in the teens or twenties. Barely a ripple.

A couple of moments offer clean conditions – like the glassy afternoon on Wednesday the 16th with a 0.3m S swell and no wind – but with that size, you’ll need a longboard and a lot of patience.

Bottom line: the only real highlight is Thursday afternoon the 3rd at Junkyards. If you’re experienced and can handle some cross-chop, that’s your shot. For everyone else, it’s a long wait.

Rusty.

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.
