The Lowdown

Alright, let’s talk in feet and miles. I’ll be honest, this sixteen-day stretch at Tengan is a giant dud for the most part. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing. The first real sign of life doesn’t show up until the very end, and even then, the wind messes it up.

The water’s about 82°F, which is a touch cooler than average for this time of year.

From now all the way through the 26th of July, it’s flat. We’re talking about 0.7ft to 1ft dribble from the east with a period mostly between 9 and 10 seconds. The wave energy is pathetic, often in the single digits. There are some clean, glassy moments on the 22nd, but there’s nothing to surf. You’d be floating. The 20th teases a 2ft swell from the south with a 4-second period, which is just wind chop. Not worth a look.

This dry spell finally breaks on the 27th of July. A pulse of energy starts to build, peaking on the 28th and 29th. On the 27th, we see a building east swell at 2ft with a 16-second period and moderate energy. By the 28th, it’s up to 3ft from the east, 16 seconds, with strong energy. On the 29th, we’re looking at 4ft to 4ft from the east and southeast, with a very long period of 17 seconds, and the energy is strong.

But the wind is a nightmare. By the 28th, it’s a fresh cross-shore from the north-northeast at 18 mph, and by the 29th, it’s a violent storm force from the south-southeast at 68 mph. That’s a gale. It’s all marked as "poor surf conditions." The swell is there, but it’ll be a wild, dangerous mess. That’s strictly kite-surfing territory.

For an expert surfer, the 27th morning might be the only window, with a 2ft east swell at 16 seconds and a gentler cross-onshore wind, but it’s still a gamble. The long period groundswell from the east will be breaking straight at this beach break, so don’t expect great shape. For everyone else, this is a blank run. It’s a normal quiet period for this spot.

Information about the Tengan Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Tengan provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Tengan can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Tengan 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 (Tengan) 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 Tengan 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.

Tengan is 5 km (3 miles) from the city of Ishikawa. If you plan a holiday in Okinawa, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ishikawa. Ishikawa has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
