The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for Nomozaki. There’s a big, long stretch of flat, weak days ahead, so don’t get your hopes up for a quick fix.
We’re starting off with a lean run. From Sunday the 19th right through to the end of July, the swell is tiny and the energy is pathetic. You’re looking at waves around 3ft dropping to 0.7ft or even flat, with combined energy readings scraping the bottom of the barrel (between 86 and 0). The wind is all over the shop – cross, onshore, a bit of glass – but it doesn’t matter because there’s nothing to ride. This is a proper dead spell.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Saturday the 1st of August. The morning stays small, but by the afternoon we see a little bump, with swell building to 4ft from the SW. The energy picks up to 120 (moderate). The wind goes cross-offshore from the NNW, which is clean. It’s still poor surf conditions though, so don’t expect much.
Now, the standout of the whole outlook is the morning of Monday the 3rd of August. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. We’ve got a solid 5ft SW swell with a combined energy of 285 (moderate). The wind is offshore from the NNE, light at 10 km/h, which means clean, crisp faces. The period is only 7 seconds, so it’s a short-period wind swell, but for a spot that’s been dead for weeks, it’s the best we’ve got. This will be one for the locals to get a few fun, punchy ones. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild.
Nomozaki is a beach and reef setup that rarely breaks, and it’s fairly exposed to the S. The swell direction is SW, which is off the optimum S, but it’ll still wrap in. Crowds are possible here, so don’t expect to have it totally to yourself.
The Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd also have some surfable options, but that Monday morning is the true pick. After that, the outlook fades again.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on the forecasts – it tends not to stay this poor for long.

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.
