The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty. I’ve been looking at what’s coming up for Nomozaki, and to be honest, it’s a rough outlook. This spot rarely breaks, and when it does, the waves are tiny. We’ve got a long stretch of flatness ahead, with only a few moments of hope right at the end of the first week into the second. You’re going to need a lot of patience.
Right now, we’re in a flat spell. Tuesday the 15th starts with a 0.3ft south swell, period a weak 6 seconds, and combined energy a measly 1. Offshore breeze from the NNE at 6 mph keeps it clean, but there’s no power. This flat pattern continues right through until Saturday the 19th. The morning of the 19th shows a 0.3ft south swell with a very long 20-second period, but the combined energy is only 10 – just a ghost of a pulse, not enough for a real wave.
The best window appears from Sunday the 20th. Sunday morning has a 0.3ft south swell, period 17 seconds, and combined energy of 7. The wind is offshore from the NNE at 16 mph, keeping the surface clean. By Sunday afternoon, the swell nudges to 0.7ft, period still long at 17 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 28 – still weak, but it’s the best we get. The wind stays moderate offshore, so the surface will be clean. Monday the 21st continues similar with a 0.7ft south swell, 16-second period, and combined energy in the low 20s, with fresh offshore winds from the NE at 19 mph. That stretch from Sunday the 20th through Monday the 21st is the only time the energy cracks into double digits, and those are the best chances for a tiny, clean wave if you’re keen. For the rest of the period, it’s flat or near flat right through to Tuesday the 30th of September. The 30th shows a 0.7ft south swell with a 16-second period and combined energy of 20, but it’s still tiny.
Bottom line: there’s no standout surf here. The swell is too small and inconsistent to get excited about. If you’re a beginner, the tiny waves might be okay for a float, but there’s nothing with any push. It’s a rare event for Nomozaki to have any surf at all, so this kind of blank run is more normal for the area. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, leave the board at home.

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.
