Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty.

First up, we gotta be straight with you: this is not a classic run of surf for Junkyards. We’ve got a massive pulse of swell coming through, but it’s way too big and the wind is going to be howling – we’re talking a full on severe gale at times. This is not a time for a paddle out unless you’re absolutely next level, and even then, the wind is going to make it a battle. The setup here, with that kind of wind and size on a reef, looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

We kick off on Friday the 10th of July. The swell is huge – around 28 ft from the SE, but the wind is a near gale from the east at 31 mph, turning into a cross-off later. The combined wave energy is absolutely pumping at 67231, but it’s frankly dangerous. Same story through Saturday the 11th: 31 ft swell from the SSE, a severe gale at 47 mph and energy at 54104. It’s not surfable for a paddle surfer.

The surf starts to drop on Sunday the 12th, but the conditions are still rough with a fresh cross-shore breeze and lumpy chop. That 11 ft swell is still too much for most, and the quality is marginal. By Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th, the swell has backed right off, but it’s weak and messy with a cross-chop. Energy is down to between 300 and 879.

We hit a real flat spell from the middle of the week. Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th of July have tiny, ordinary waves – 2 ft to 3 ft – but at least the wind goes glassy and light. It’s clean but barely a ripple. That quiet stretch goes on through the weekend and into the following week, with the swell staying small and the energy weak, below 200 most days. There will be a gap of about 8 days where there’s nothing worth getting out of bed for.

Then, on Friday the 24th of July, we finally see a glimmer. This is the standout of the whole outlook. The swell comes up to a clean 4 ft from the south, with a period bumping up to 11 seconds. The combined energy is 397 – moderate – but the wind is light and cross-off, making for clean conditions. This is a decent end-of-run window for an intermediate surfer. It’s not a classic, but after all that nothing, it’s the best on offer. Keep in mind that 11-second swell from the south can be a little straight at a beach break, but Junkyards is a reef and should handle it better. Crowds are possible here on a day like that.

Overall, we’ve got a very heavy, unsurfable start, a long flat middle, and a brief, promising window right on the 24th.

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.
