The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks at Nomozaki (beach and reef). I'll keep it local, just for this spot.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you. The beginning of this forecast is a tough watch. From now through the first week or so, it's flat and ugly. We're looking at a solid 10-day stretch where there's just nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly junk, and the energy is barely registering. So, put your feet up for now.
Things finally start to stir around Sunday, August 2nd. That morning is the first time we see anything rideable. We've got a 1.0 ft SW swell, period of 8 seconds. The combined swell energy is moderate at 118, which is a start. The wind is light and clean from the NNW, a cross-off that will keep the surface glassy. The call is "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," which is a polite way of saying it's not gonna blow your mind. Still, after nothing for so long, it's something. The crowd factor here can be "sometimes" an issue, so don't expect solitude. After lunch, the wind swings NW and picks up to a moderate 12 mph cross-shore, chopping it up real quick.
Monday the 3rd is a step back. The morning has that same clean look with a light N cross-off, but the swell drops to 2 ft and the energy falls away to 42. It's a small, clean wave, but it's not really a standout.
If you're looking for the best of a bad bunch, I'd say the real highlight, if you can call it that, is that Sunday morning, August 2nd. It's the only session that hits even a sniff of "surfable." The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there. The offshore is from the south, so this break, which prefers a southerly direction, is getting the right angle for that little pulse.
Other than that, the rest of the two weeks is a drought. The wind is constantly on it or cross-onshore, and the swell almost never gets above knee-high. This is a spot that "rarely breaks," so a blank run like this is honestly normal for Nomozaki. Don't hold your breath.
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.
