The Lowdown

Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Nomozaki over the next couple of weeks. I’ll level with you, it’s a slow start, and there’s a big gap of nothing to get through before we see any real hope.

The first week is pretty much a write-off for any decent surf. From Friday the 31st to Thursday the 7th of August, the waves are tiny, mostly under 2ft, and the wind is all over the shop – cross-shore, cross-on, and generally messy. You’ll be fighting a cross-chop most times, and the swell energy is weak, barely registering double digits (10 to 16). It’s just not worth paddling out. There’s a brief moment on the morning of Tuesday the 4th with glassy conditions, but the swell is a pathetic 0.3ft with a 20-second period; that’s super long period, but there’s no height to push it. Same story on Wednesday the 5th morning – glassy, but no wave to ride.

Then, from Friday the 8th of August, things get interesting, but it’s not for everyone. The swell jumps up big time, with 12ft from the SSW on Saturday the 8th, and combined energy readings are massive (6734). That’s a lot of power, but 12ft is expert territory. The wind is a clean cross-off from the east, which is a major positive for the surface, but that size is intimidating. The period is a solid 16 seconds, so it’s groundswell, and it’ll be breaking with a lot of energy. This is followed by Sunday the 9th with 8ft to 7ft, still big, and the wind stays clean. The water temp is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 85°, so you won’t need a thick suit.

The standout, and I mean the real only high-quality window, looks like Monday morning, the 10th of August. That’s your best bet. You’ve got 6ft of SSW swell, a 12-second period, and clean conditions with a light offshore from the ENE. The combined energy is 769 – moderate to strong – and the break is a beach-and-reef setup, so it should handle the long-period groundswell better than a straight beach. It could be a bit big for beginners, but for anyone with a bit of experience, that’s the pick of the fortnight. The afternoon of the 10th drops off a little, and the wind goes light and cross, so it’s not as good.

After that, it fades fast. Tuesday the 11th morning has a clean 3ft, but the energy drops to 280, and by the afternoon it’s gone. The rest of the week is back to tiny, clean but weak surf, with periods around 11 seconds and heights under 3ft. You’d be scratching for a ride.

Overall, there’s a massive gap of nothing from now until the 8th, then a window of big, powerful swell for the brave, with Monday the 10th being the clear standout for most surfers. If you’re not keen on the big stuff, you’re looking at a long wait. Keep an eye on the forecasts, though – this is a long-range call, and the second week is always a bit less certain.

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.
