The Lowdown
Alright, gather 'round. Rusty here, and I've had a look at the charts for our little stretch of coast. Honest truth? It's a tough one. We're looking at a solid 16-day window, but for a spot that rarely breaks, this run is looking pretty bleak. There's just no push in the water to get excited about.
Let's start with the first hint of something, which is really just a whisper. On Saturday the 14th, we might see a tiny 1ft swell from the SSW at a short, weak period of 3 seconds. The combined wave energy is a measly (4). The morning could be glassy, but that's about all it has going for it. It's not really surf.
From there, things flatline. We go through a long stretch from the afternoon of the 14th right through to the morning of the 19th with pretty much nothing. A dead zone for almost five days. We get a clean little 0.3ft pulse on the 19th afternoon with a very long period of 18 seconds from the S, giving a bit more energy (8), but the height is just too small to hold it together on a beach and reef setup. The 20th has some offshore winds but again, it's tiny. The rest of the window through to the 27th is a mix of small, weak signals and strong, blustery winds, like that severe gale on the 23rd which is going to be a complete write-off. There is simply no stand-out day in this forecast.
Honestly, this is one of those times where you save the wax for another fortnight. Forecasts can change, but this blank run feels pretty normal for this area when it's this flat. Sometimes you just gotta wait.

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.
