The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Nomozaki for the next couple of weeks. I won’t lie, it’s a bit of a slow one, but there’s a solid stretch of fun in the middle if you’re keen.
Water temp is about 84°F, which is normal for this time of year. The first couple of days are a write-off. Saturday only has ankle-biters with a cross-off breeze, not worth the drive. You’d get more fun out of a car park puddle.
Then things pick up. The real action starts Sunday morning. The swell jumps to 5ft from the SSW, energy is pumping (919). It’s cloudy but the wind is light and cross-off, so it’ll be clean. That’s the start of the good stuff. It builds into Monday, peaking at 7ft from the SSW with a reading of (1269). Monday morning is looking like the best of the lot – light cross-off wind and clean faces. This is proper surf. At 7ft, it’s a bit much for the beginners, so you might want to watch from the beach.
Monday afternoon and into Tuesday, the swell backs off to 6ft and then 5ft, but the wind swings offshore on Monday arvo – that’s a huge plus. Tuesday morning is glassy with a 5ft SW swell. The energy is dropping (577), but it’ll still be fun for the better surfers out at Nomozaki (Nagasaki). It’s a beach and reef setup, so that long-period SW groundswell (11-13 seconds) will wrap in nicely, but keep an eye on the reef.
From Wednesday on, it’s a slow fade. The swell drops to 4ft, then 3ft, and the energy just bleeds away. The winds are okay, some glassy mornings, but the waves get smaller and weaker. By the end of the first week and into the second, we’re looking at dribbles – 1ft and 2ft, with the energy barely registering (21, 19, 12). It’s flat, plain and simple. The spot is rarely breaking, so this kind of blank run isn’t abnormal, but forecasts can change.
So, the standout window is clear: Sunday morning through to Tuesday morning. Sunday is the bigger, more powerful day, but Monday morning with that light offshore wind and solid 7ft swell is the one I’d be circling on the calendar. It’s going to be a bit of a paddle, but the rewards will be there. Get on it while you can.
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.
