The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what we’ve got lined up for Nomozaki. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, and I gotta be straight with you – this stretch isn’t firing on all cylinders. The water’s sitting at a warm 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick suit.
The pattern is pretty quiet to start. There’s a real gap here; from the get-go, we’re looking at days of nothing special. Monday the 24th is a write-off with cross-shore winds and poor conditions. Tuesday the 25th starts off with a glassy 3ft swell from the SW, but it’s weak and the waves are just ordinary. Wednesday the 26th is similar – tiny 1ft to 2ft stuff.
Now, the standout window finally shows up on Thursday the 27th morning. The swell picks up to a clean 4ft from the SSW with a decent 11-second period, and the wind is glassy – absolutely dead calm. The energy is moderate, and the forecast says expect good surf. That morning session is your best bet, but fair warning, this spot rarely breaks, so don’t get your hopes up too high. For a beginner spot, 4ft is just right, and with crowds being possible here, you might have a few mates out.
Friday the 28th morning sees the swell bump to 5ft from the SSW with a 12-second period (energy building), but there are risk t-storms and a light cross-shore wind making things a bit iffy. It’s marginal, and 5ft is pushing the limits for beginners. After that, it drops off again. There’s a long stretch from Friday afternoon through to the 4th of September that’s mostly poor or ordinary, with tiny waves and wonky wind.
Then we get a weird one. The 4th of September has offshore wind on Friday with a 3ft SSW swell, period 15 seconds, and a big energy jump – but it’s still rated marginal. That long period might make it break a bit straight at this beach-and-reef setup, so keep that in mind.
The 5th of September is a write-off: a massive 13ft swell from the SSW with a gale-force cross-shore wind. The energy is insane, but the wind is a total mess. This is purely for experts, and even then, it’s more of a kite-surfing show than a paddle session.
Honestly, if you can get out on Thursday the 27th morning, that’s the one. It’s not much, but it’s as good as it gets for the next two weeks.

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.
