The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let me break it down for you. The first week and a half? Nothing doing. From now until the 7th of August, it’s a total flat spell for Nomozaki. Tiny, weak, poor surf and nasty cross-shore winds. Don’t bother.
But then, on the morning of Friday, August 7th, the ocean comes alive. You’re looking at a 26ft swell from the south, with a 12-second period. The combined energy is a staggering 16462 – that’s a massive amount of power. The wind is a strong breeze from the east, blowing cross-offshore, which will make the surface glassy and clean. This is a big-wave, expert-only session. The break is a beach and reef setup, and with that much water moving, it’s going to be heavy and demanding. The afternoon of the 7th still packs a 21ft swell from the SSW, with energy at 11117, and clean cross-off winds. The 8th of August drops to a still-solid 6ft from the SSW, with energy at 590, and it stays clean. The 9th and 10th of August are smaller, cleaner, but fading out.
The one to circle on your calendar is the morning of the 7th. That’s the standout. The south swell hits the spot just right. Water temp is a touch warmer than usual at 84°. For the rest of the 16 days, it’s a bust. The break rarely breaks, so a long dry spell like this is pretty standard around here.
Rusty.

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.
