The Lowdown

Nomozaki (beach and reef) – I gotta level with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and ugly around here. This spot rarely breaks, and right now it’s proving that point. The water’s sitting at 86°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like bathwater, but that’s about the only thing going for it.

For the next few days, from Sunday the 30th of August through the end of the first week, the swell’s tiny and the wind’s all wrong. You’re looking at ankle-biters around 1ft to 3ft, mostly from the SSW, with cross-onshore or onshore winds messing it up. The combined energy is weak, barely pushing 97 (97) on Sunday morning, and it gets even smaller. Honestly, it’s not worth paddling out.

There’s a tiny glimmer on the morning of Wednesday the 2nd of September – a long-period pulse at 13 seconds rolls in, with just 1ft of swell, but it’s clean with light offshore winds. The energy is still weak at 80 (80), but if you’re desperate and don’t mind micro-surf, you could grovel a few.

By Thursday the 3rd of September, the swell tries to push up to 4ft, and the energy jumps to 363 (363) – moderate for sure – but the winds are messy, and it’s marked as marginal. Come Friday the 4th of September, the swell hits 8ft to 10ft with a combined energy over 1500 (1752), but it’s accompanied by strong cross-onshore winds and lumpy, choppy conditions. That much power with that wind is a recipe for a washing machine. For a beach and reef setup like this, it’d be more interesting for kite surfing than paddling.

The second week doesn’t get any better. The swell drops off to almost nothing by the 7th and 8th, with energy as low as 12 (12). There’s a brief moment on Wednesday the 9th of September morning – 3ft, long 13-second period from the south, glassy winds – the energy hits 255 (255). That’s probably your best bet, but it’s still just one session, and the crowds are sometimes an issue here.

The real standout would be Thursday the 10th of September afternoon – 4ft from the SSW (optimum direction is S, so close enough), 11-second period, clean with light cross-offshore winds, and the energy is moderate at 311 (311). The forecast actually calls it “good surf conditions.” That’s the one to circle, but keep your expectations in check – this spot rarely delivers, and with a 2/5 rating, it’s mostly for beginners looking for a soft day out. Beyond that, the last few days of the forecast are all strong wind and dropping swell, so don’t hold your breath.

This is a tough stretch. When a break hardly ever fires, and the few days with decent energy get hammered by wind, you’re just waiting for a better window.

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.
