The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead for Nomozaki. The good news is that the opening window on Wednesday morning, August 12th, has a bit of clean, offshore energy to work with. We’ve got a small but rideable 3ft SSW swell with a 10-second period, and the combined swell energy is sitting at 127 (moderate energy). The wind is a moderate offshore breeze from the NNE at 12 mph, making for clean, lined-up waves. You’ll have to be a bit patient – this break rarely breaks, so any session is a bit of a gift. Crowds are possible here, but with the small size it should be manageable. The water temperature is pretty unremarkable for this time of year, so no surprises there.
By Wednesday afternoon, the wind backs off to a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNW at 6 mph, and the swell stays at 3ft from the SSW. Still small but clean. That’s about as good as it gets for the whole outlook.
After that, we slide into a long, flat spell. From Thursday, August 13th, right through to the end of the month, conditions are either onshore, tiny, or both. The swell drops below 2ft regularly, periods are short, and the combined energy drops into the two-digit weak category – often under 100. There’s a brief hiccup of 5ft on Saturday, August 22nd, but the wind is onshore and the period is a short 7 seconds, making it a messy, blown-out affair. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore through the second week, and the swell stays small and weak. There are a couple of glassy mornings around August 20th and 26th, but with only 1ft of swell, it’s barely a ripple. For a spot that already rarely breaks, this is a blank run. Sometimes it just goes quiet like this.
So, there’s only one real window: Wednesday, August 12th, morning or afternoon. If you’re keen, get out early.

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.
