The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it's a bit of a rough stretch ahead, but there might be a tiny window if you're patient.
The whole forecast period is a pretty flat and messy run for Nomozaki (beach and reef). The water temperature is sitting at 81°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The problem is, right from the start and all the way through, we're looking at almost constant cross-onshore or onshore wind, and the wave quality is mostly rated poor. The combined swell energy is weak, with values like 184 on Tuesday the 14th, dropping to just 9 on the 28th. It’s a long, quiet spell.
Now, there is a brief moment on Friday morning, July 17th, where things get a little less ugly. The wind swings around to a light cross-offshore from the NNW at just 3 mph, and it clears up. The swell is tiny, only 3 ft from the SW with a short period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is a measly 86. The comment calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It's not a standout by any stretch, just a moment of clean, small surf if you're desperate for a paddle.
Then we fall right back into the same pattern of onshore wind and poor conditions until Monday morning, July 28th. That day, the wind goes cross-off from the ESE at 12 mph, but the swell is only 1 ft from the SW with a period of 6 seconds. Combined energy is just 12. It's clean, but barely a ripple.
The final day of the forecast, Wednesday the 29th, sees a jump in swell height to 6 ft from the SW, with a combined energy of 301. But the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 19 mph, making it lumpy and poor again. Not worth it.
So, to sum it up: there are no real standouts here. July 17th morning is your only real chance for a small, clean wave, but it's not going to get the heart racing. The rest is a write-off for surfing.

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.
