Hey folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on the menu for Junkyards. We're looking at a quiet start, but hold onto your board, because this one turns into a proper beast in the second half of the outlook.

Right now and through the first few days, it's a bit of a dead zone. Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd are a write-off – tiny, weak swell with barely enough energy to stand up on, and cross-onshore winds churning it up. Water temp is sitting at 81°, which is actually a bit cooler than usual for this time of year, by about 3°.

We finally get a glimmer of life on Tuesday morning the 7th. The ocean goes glassy, and a little 3 ft groundswell creeps in from the southeast with a 13-second period. The combined energy is a weak-to-moderate 409 at that point, but that glassy surface is the kind of thing that gets a surfer excited. It’s small, though, nothing to write home about.

Now, Wednesday the 8th is where it starts to get real. By Wednesday afternoon, we’re looking at a solid 10 ft swell from the southeast with that super-long 18-second period. The energy jumps to a whopping 5308. This is expert territory – way too big for beginners. The wind is a clean cross-offshore, making for excellent conditions for the few who can handle it.

But the true heavy-hitter is Thursday the 9th. Thursday morning we get a 15 ft southeast swell (17-second period) and the energy is a massive 11156. The wind is offshore, clean, and consistent. This is the stand-out window: Junkyards on Thursday morning. The swell direction (southeast) is perfect for this exposed reef, and the conditions are as clean as they come. It's a big, powerful groundswell – best suited for experienced surfers. This spot is fairly consistent, but when it lines up like this, it's a proper event. Expect crowds to be an issue, though.

Friday the 10th sees the swell peak even higher – 20 ft and 25 ft with 17-second periods. The energy is off the charts (over 53,000). The wind is a fresh cross-offshore, but honestly, at this size, it's just too much. The data says it’s too big for this break, and I’d agree. Only the absolute top-tier chargers would even look at it.

The swell starts to back off Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th, but it’s still significant (12 ft to 8 ft) and all cross-shore or cross-offshore winds. The quality drops off quickly with that cross-chop. By Monday the 13th and into the following week, we’re back to smaller, choppier conditions and the recommendations dry up.

There’s a last little whisper of decent surf on Thursday the 16th and Friday the 17th – glassy or clean conditions with a 5 ft to 5 ft swell from the southwest. It’s small, but clean and ridable for a fun session.

So, to boil it down: The first week is a bust. The absolute standout is Thursday morning, July the 9th, at Junkyards. It’s not a day to be missed if you can handle an expert-level, 15 ft+ groundswell with clean offshore wind. Don’t get caught napping on the Wednesday afternoon either, as it builds in. After the 10th, the energy and quality fade fast.

Stay safe, read the ocean, and I'll see you out there.

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.
