The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m staring at the charts for Nomozaki. Gotta be straight with you, mate – it’s a grim picture. The whole 16-day window is a wipeout. There’s not a single decent wave to be had, so don’t bother paddling out.
This little beach and reef setup (Nomozaki) is a rare breaker at the best of times, and right now, we’re in a flat spell. The swell energy is basically nothing – the highest I see all week is a puny 51 (moderate energy) on Saturday the 5th, but that’s with a pathetic 2ft south swell at 9 seconds, and the wind is a stiff 12 mph offshore. The numbers say it’s clean, but there’s nothing to ride. It’s like a beautiful glass window with no handle.
The days just roll by with tiny, gutless waves. We get a little bump on the 13th with a 2ft SSW swell at 11 seconds – that’s a long period, which would be great for a point or reef, but the energy is still weak (75). And the wind swings around, ruining it. On the 14th, we get a glassy morning, but again, it’s a 1ft dribble. For a spot that rarely breaks, this kind of blank run is more normal than not around here. It’s a tough stretch. You’d be better off findin’ a new hobby for a couple of weeks.
Keep your head up, though. Forecasts can change. For now, the surf is dead.
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.
