The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let me be straight with you on this one. We’ve got Nomozaki (beach and reef) on the cards, but the outlook is a real heartbreaker. Over the next 16 days, starting from now, there’s simply no decent surf on offer.
The problem is clear. From Tuesday the 8th of September right through to Wednesday the 23rd of September, the swell heights are stuck at a measly 0.3ft to 1ft. The combined wave energy barely gets going, peaking at just 52 (moderate energy) on the morning of the 17th of September, but even then the swell is a tiny 1ft with a 12-second period. That longer period would normally get you excited for a groundswell, but you can’t do anything with a foot and a half of wave. It’s mostly out of the south and southwest, which doesn’t align with the optimum south swell for this spot anyway.
The wind tries to be your friend at times – there’s some glassy conditions on the 13th and 14th of September mornings, and gentle offshore breezes on the 10th, 15th, and 17th of September. But it’s all wasted. You can have the cleanest surface in the world, but with no swell, you’re just floating. The water is a balmy 85° F with a positive anomaly of 2°F, making it a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s about the only bright spot.
There’s a gap of pure nothingness. This is a spot that rarely breaks, so sadly, this blank run is pretty normal for the area. Don’t hold your breath for this one.

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.
Nomozaki is 14 km (9 miles) from Togitsu. If you plan a holiday in Kyu Shu, look for hotels and other accommodation in Togitsu. Togitsu has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
