The Lowdown
Alright, let's take a look at what we've got on the books for the Nomozaki area. Truth be told, the next week or so is a bit of a write-off if you're looking to get wet. We're looking at a long, flat spell with barely a ripple. From now, through the end of July and into the first week of August, it's all tiny mush and choppy cross-shore junk. You'll be fighting more bump than wave for your trouble. That dry stretch runs almost right up to the second week of August.
Then, things get interesting. The real story, and the only standout on the whole forecast, is Saturday the 8th of August. The ocean's gonna wake up proper. We're looking at a solid 13 ft to 15 ft swell rolling in from the SSW, with a clean, cross-off wind out of the east. The energy is massive, pushing over 8000 in the combined swell reading (8631 by the afternoon). This is expert territory, no doubt about it. The period is around 15-16 seconds, which is a proper groundswell, so the points and reefs are where you'll want to be. Nomozaki itself is a beach and reef setup, and with this size, it could be a handful, but the wind's right. Just know that if you're not on it, this is going to be a washing machine.
Sunday the 9th is still chunky at 10 ft, but the wind shifts, and things get a bit messier by the afternoon. Monday the 10th of August drops back to a much friendlier 6 ft with glassy conditions in the morning—a good option for the slightly smaller crowd if the big Saturday session was too much.
So, to call it: Saturday the 8th of August is the one. Big, clean, and powerful. Mark it on your calendar, but bring your big-wave board and your nerves.

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.
