The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me tell you what’s cookin’ at our only spot, Nomozaki.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – we are in a flat spell. This outlook is a long one, runnin’ from September 10th through the 25th, and for a surfer, it's a rough read. We’ve got nothing but tiny, weak slop for the entire sixteen days. The combined energy of all swells directed here barely cracks double digits, mostly sitting at pathetic levels of 1 to 11. There’s simply no rideable surf on offer.
We start on Thursday the 10th with a meager 0.3ft south swell, period a short 8 seconds, and it never really gets any better. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 83°F, but that’s the only good news. The wind conditions do offer some clean, glassy windows, like Sunday the 13th morning with zero wind, and Monday the 14th morning with that glassy feel, but it’s on a 0.3ft wave – you’d need a magnifying glass to find it.
Later on, around the 19th and 20th, we get a very long period south groundswell of 18 seconds, but with a piddly 0.3ft height, that long period just means it’s not breaking at all. Then the end of the period starting the 21st has no swell at all, just a building northerly wind that’ll put a chop on the bay. For the whole run, with surf that tiny and the wind mostly offshore or glassy, the set-up is actually not terrible for a kite surfer, but for a paddle surfer? It’s a blank. Nomozaki rarely breaks as it is, so this kind of dry run is just normal for this stretch. The forecasts can always change, but right now, there’s not a single wave worth paddling for. Stay tuned, though – it can’t stay this flat forever.
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.
