The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. We’re looking at a blank run for the next 16 days along this stretch, so don’t bother waxing up just yet.
Nomozaki is the only break in the picture, and it’s a spot that *rarely breaks* anyway, which unfortunately matches the forecast. The entire 16-day window is a write-off for any proper surf. We’re talking nothing but tiny dribbles from 0.3ft to 2ft, mostly out of the SSW or S. That tiny bump on the 1st of September – a 2ft SSW swell with a period of just 9 seconds – is as good as it gets, and that’s saying next to nothing. The combined wave energy is pitiful, barely hitting 55 (weak energy). The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 85°, but you won't be feeling it on a wave because there simply aren't any.
From the 2nd right through to the 16th of September, the swell drops to a miserable 1ft or lower. Wind conditions are a mixed bag, with some clean offshore mornings and glassy patches, but it’s all academic when there’s zero energy. The period even drops to 4 or 5 seconds late in the run, which is just wind slop. The only use for this setup might be for kite surfing on the more exposed days, with the stronger cross-offshore breezes on the 4th and 5th of September, but for a paddle surfer, there’s nothing to ride. It’s a dead period; blank runs like this are more normal for the area given how inconsistent Nomozaki is.
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.
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.
