G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about Nomozaki. This break rarely breaks, so we’re waiting on a specific swell window to line up perfectly. The first week looks like a write-off for any decent paddling – we’ve got a gap from the start of the period right through until the end of Thursday, 10 July. That’s four days of nothing worth your time, just tiny windswell and messy cross-onshore breezes. Keep the board in the car, but don’t get your hopes up.
Then Friday, 11 July, something shifts. Saturday morning, 11 July, is our first proper standout. A solid 5ft SSW groundswell with a long 18-second period rolls in. That’s a proper groundswell. The combined energy reading is strong at 1630, so there’s real push behind it. Morning wind is light and cross-offshore from the ENE, setting the surface clean. This is excellent for experienced surfers – over 5ft and straight into the mid-sized range, not one for beginners. Crowds are sometimes a thing here, so you might see a few others out.
Sunday, 12 July, is the absolute gem. Morning delivers 7ft of SSW swell at 16 seconds, combined energy of 2417, and light cross-offshore ESE wind – clean again. Then Sunday afternoon gets even better: the wind drops to glassy calm, the swell eases a touch to 7ft but stays around 15 seconds, with energy still strong at 1772. This is world-class for the crew who can handle it. Over 8ft, it’s expert territory, so if you’re not comfortable on a bigger day, give this a miss. For the experienced, it’s about as good as this spot gets.
By Monday, 13 July, it’s dropping. Morning is 5ft from the SSW with 12-second period and glassy conditions – still fun but nothing special. The afternoon turns choppy and messy with cross-onshore wind. After that, the energy fades fast. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny waves, poor conditions, and barely any energy from Tuesday, 14 July, all the way through to the end of the forecast on Thursday, 23 July. There’s a glimmer on Sunday, 19 July morning with 2ft SSW swell and glassy conditions, but that’s barely a knee-high dribble. The water temp sits at 77°F in the early days, about average for the time of year.
Bottom line: your window is Saturday, 11 July and Sunday, 12 July. Sunday afternoon is the standout with glassy perfection and solid size. The rest is a waiting game.
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.
