Alright, let’s break it down in feet and miles per hour.

We’ve got a huge pulse of Southern Ocean energy coming in, and it’s a serious one for Junkyards. The water temp is 84°F, which is about normal for this time of year.

Thursday afternoon, July 9th, the swell hits about 15 feet out of the SE with a 17-second period. That’s a deep groundswell with massive energy – we’re talking a combined energy reading of 12477. The wind is blowing offshore from the E at 19 mph, keeping the surface clean. But 15 feet at a reef like Junkyards is expert-only territory. The crowd factor is a real thing here, but if you can handle it, the lines will be incredible.

Then things go nuclear. Friday July 10th and Saturday July 11th, the swell pumps up to 26 to 31 feet, with periods up to 18 seconds. The energy readings are astronomical – 72924 and 55222. The wind is cross-offshore, but it’s howling at 31 to 44 mph. This is life-threatening size. Leave it to the pros.

Sunday the 12th drops to around 11-12 feet, but the wind goes cross-shore at 19 mph, creating a lumpy mess. The energy drops to 4910, which is moderate but not clean.

From Monday the 13th, the swell settles into the 5 to 6-foot range, with periods dropping under 10 seconds. The wind is light or cross-shore, and the quality is just okay. There’s a short window of glassy conditions on Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th, but the swell is tiny – 2 to 3 feet – with very weak energy.

There’s a dry spell with no quality waves from the 12th through the 16th.

Friday the 17th and Saturday the 18th see a small bump to 4 to 4 feet, with periods around 9 to 10 seconds. Winds are cross-offshore and clean, but the energy is weak, around 237 to 308. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.

The best shot in this whole 16-day forecast is Thursday afternoon, July 9th. That 15-foot SE groundswell with a 17-second period and clean offshore wind is the highlight. Junkyards will be firing for those who are ready, but crowds are likely. If you’re an experienced surfer, that's the session to target.

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.
