The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this straight. I’ve looked over the charts for the next couple of weeks, and honestly, it’s a pretty grim stretch for Nomozaki. This is a spot that rarely breaks anyway, and we’re staring down the barrel of a long, flat spell. There’s literally nothing to get excited about for the first eight days. That’s right, from now until the 16th of September, it’s all tiny, weak dribble – we’re talking 0.3ft to 1ft. The combined energy is in the gutter (single and low double digits), so don’t even bother. It’s poor surf conditions, day after day.
We finally get a pulse of life on the morning of Thursday the 17th. The swell bumps up to 4ft from the SSW, with a period of 6 seconds. That’s a short-period, windswell, and the energy jumps to moderate (126). It’s not a classic, but it’s the only real wave on offer. The wind is a light offshore from the ESE, which will keep it clean. The rest of that day and the morning after stay small, and by the weekend we’re back to nothing.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
If you’re a beginner, that 4ft swell on the 17th is fine, but don’t expect any quality. And because it’s a beach-and-reef setup that’s rarely breaking, I’d say the whole forecast looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer on that one day. For a real surfer, it’s a write-off.

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.
