The Lowdown
Alright team, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a grim outlook for Nomozaki. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat, weak surf with messy conditions. The water is a touch warmer than usual at 84°F for this time of year, but that doesn’t help when there’s nothing to ride.
There’s a massive gap from right now – Sunday, July 26th – all the way through to the morning of Saturday, August 8th. That’s nearly two weeks of barely a ripple. The swell is tiny, mostly 0.3ft to 1ft, and the combined energy is pathetic, often in single digits (like 6 or 10). A few mornings are glassy or have light offshore winds, like Tuesday, July 28th morning with a glassy 1ft SW swell, but the energy is so weak (19) it just won’t peel. You’d be floating.
The first real event shows up on the morning of Sunday, August 9th. That’s the one to watch, but it’s a long way out. A 8ft swell from the west with a 7-second period, and the wind is glassy. The combined energy hits 539, which is strong. This is a proper pulse. But that short period (7 seconds) means it’s a windswell, not a clean groundswell. At 8ft, this is for experts only at a beach-and-reef spot like Nomozaki. It’s going to be powerful and lumpy. The afternoon turns messy with cross-onshore winds.
After that, it fades fast. Monday, August 10th morning has a glassy 2ft SW swell, but the energy is weak (34) and it’s a short period, so don’t get excited.
So the bottom line: there’s one big, tricky window on August 9th, but it’s a long way off and only for the brave. The rest of the 16 days is a flat spell. If you’re desperate, the glassy mornings late July might give you a tiny 1.0ft to 1ft bump, but it’s a gamble. Otherwise, it’s time to clean the board and wait.
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.
