Alright, let’s get into it. Honestly, the next couple of weeks around Nomozaki are a bit of a mixed bag, with a real slow start and only a couple of windows that get the heart pumping.
For the first week, we’re mostly looking at small, short-period windswell coming from the southwest, with that onshore wind messing things up. The water temp is sitting at 76°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
From now through the 9th, it’s pretty grim. A lot of “poor surf conditions” with onshore breezes and messy waves. Sunday afternoon the 5th does see a brief moment of glassy conditions on a 4ft southwest swell, but it’s still very ordinary – hardly worth a paddle. Tuesday morning the 7th is similar: glassy but small.
Then we hit a real dry spell. The waves stay small and the wind is junk. The 10th of July morning sees a tiny 2ft southerly swell with a very long 18-second period, but it’s barely there and cross-shore. Afternoon is a bit bigger at 2ft, still long-period, but marginal.
Now, the standout of the whole outlook is Saturday, July 11th. That morning, the stars align. A clean 5ft southwest groundswell rolling in at 18 seconds, with light cross-offshore wind from the east-southeast. The combined wave energy is pumping at 1360 – that’s serious power. This is the best surf on offer. It’s got shape, it’s got push, and it’ll be clean. That afternoon the swell jumps to 6ft, but it swings onshore, so the morning window is the one. This is for competent surfers only, as it’s pushing into bigger range.
Sunday the 12th still has decent 6ft swell in the morning, but the cross-onshore wind starts to mess with it, and the period drops to 14 seconds. It’s still rideable for the keen, but not as good as Saturday.
After that, it drops off through the second week. There’s a little bump on July 17th, Friday afternoon, with a clean 4ft southwest swell (10-second period) and a light cross-offshore breeze. That gets a nod for a fun, easy session. Aside from that, it’s mostly onshore winds and poor conditions.
Overall, circle Saturday July 11th morning on your calendar. That’s the one. Everything else is a struggle.

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.
