The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Nomozaki. Honestly, the first week or so is pretty much dead. You’re looking at ankle to knee-high slop with weak energy and winds that are mostly cross or onshore, making things choppy and uninviting. There’s a big stretch of nothing useful from now until Thursday, August 6th.
On Thursday morning the 6th, we finally see a 0.4m swell from the SSW with a very long 20-second period, combined energy at 133 (moderate), and a clean offshore wind from the ENE at 25 km/h. It’s surfable but still tiny.
Now, the real standout hits on Saturday, August 8th. That morning brings a 8ft swell from the SSW with a 17-second period, combined energy at 3579 (strong), and cross-off wind from the E at 25 km/h keeping it clean. By the afternoon, it jumps to 12ft from the same direction, combined energy 6188 (very strong) – this is serious, groundswell-driven size. The period over 15 seconds means the waves will have a lot of energy and long lulls but could section off at the beach. This is strictly for experts.
Sunday the 9th keeps that energy, with 10ft in the morning and 10ft again in the afternoon, combined energy around 4467 to 3167, and light winds making for clean conditions. The afternoon is listed as excellent for experienced surfers – that’s your best window.
Monday the 10th drops to a more manageable 6ft from the SSW, 12-second period, combined energy 1022, with light cross-off wind. Good but not the peak. After that, it fades fast into knee-high junk by the end of the period.
Crowds can be an issue here when it’s good, so expect some company.
If you want the best, aim for the afternoon of Saturday the 8th or the morning of Sunday the 9th – big, clean, and powerful. For something a little less intimidating, Sunday afternoon and Monday morning are solid.

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.
