G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Nomozaki. It’s a beach and reef setup that doesn’t break all that often, so we’re not exactly spoilt for choice across this forecast window. The first week is pretty flat and ugly, but there’s a real spike of quality right around the middle that’s worth getting excited about, especially if you’re experienced.

Right off the bat, Tuesday the 7th up until Thursday the 9th is a write-off. The swell is tiny—2ft to 3ft max, period only 7 seconds, and the wind is all over the place, mostly onshore or cross-on. Combined wave energy is weak (44 to 89), so don’t even bother paddling out. This stretch is dead.

Then Friday the 10th shows a flicker of life. Early morning we get a 2ft south swell with a much longer period of 19 seconds—real deep ocean groundswell pushing in. The wind is light offshore (ENE at 5 km/h) and it looks clean. Combined energy jumps to 195 (moderate). It’s not big, but that long period could make for a few fun ones if you’re patient. Afternoon gets a bit more size (2ft) and the energy hits 414, but wind swings cross-shore, so it gets a little crinkly.

Now, Saturday the 11th is the standout. The swell jumps to 5ft in the morning, 6ft in the afternoon, both from the SSW with that lovely 18-second period—very long-period groundswell. Wind goes glassy both sessions (E then SE, both 5 km/h). The combined energy is massive: 1439 in the morning and 2147 in the afternoon—very strong energy. This is top-tier for experienced surfers. Just remember, that long period can make beach breaks shut down a bit, but Nomozaki is a reef and beach setup, so the reef side might handle it better. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no major surprise there.

Sunday the 12th is still excellent, just a notch down. Swell sits around 5ft to 5ft from the SSW, period drops to 14 seconds, still very solid. Glassy winds all day. Combined energy is still very strong (991 to 791). Expect very good conditions.

Monday the 13th sees the swell drop to 3ft, period 11 seconds. Morning is dead calm and glassy with energy at 256, but it’s getting ordinary. Afternoon turns cross-shore and the quality goes.

From Tuesday the 14th through to the end of the window on Wednesday the 22nd, it’s essentially tiny and poor. Swell rarely tops 2ft, periods are short again (9–12 seconds), and the combined energy sits mostly below 100. Winds are sometimes offshore (especially in the mornings) which keeps things clean, but there’s just not enough push. A few sessions on the 14th, 19th, 20th, and 21st show “surfable but ordinary,” but honestly, they’re not worth a wetty for anything but a longboard or a foil.

So if you’re after the only real action, aim for Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th. That 18-second groundswell and glassy winds will be something special for the crew who can handle it. For the rest, it’s a long dry spell that stretches over a week.

Rusty.

Information about the Nomozaki Surf forecast

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

Nomozaki is 14 km (9 miles) from Togitsu. If you plan a holiday in Kyu Shu, look for hotels and other accommodation in Togitsu. Togitsu has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
