The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for the local surf outlook.
The next 16 days are looking pretty flat for us. There’s a real lack of energy in the water, and I can’t recommend a single standout session. The first chance for a surf comes up on Thursday the 23rd, but honestly, it’s not a chance worth taking.
Nomozaki is our only option, and it’s a tricky spot anyway since it rarely breaks. The swell is tiny, barely pushing 1ft from the SW on Thursday morning, with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak (17), and the wind is a light cross-onshore, making for small wind ripples. It’s poor surf conditions, pure and simple. The water is warm at 82°F, which is about average for this time of year.
Through the rest of July and into the start of August, there’s nothing that changes the story. The swell stays small, mostly around 0.3ft to 1ft, and the period is short. We get a few glassy mornings, like Friday the 24th morning, but the swell is so weak (9) it’s basically flat. The best energy we see is a weak-to-moderate 37 on the afternoon of Friday the 31st, but it’s still only 1ft and cross-shore winds chop it up.
There’s a big gap of poor to no surf all the way through the first week of August. The only real blip is a very long period, 20-second, tiny groundswell on the morning of Tuesday the 4th of August, but it’s only 0.3ft and the combined energy is just 16. It’s a tease. The wind is glassy, but there’s nothing to ride. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this blank run is pretty normal for the area.
Hang in there, folks. The forecasts can always change, but for now, it’s a board-waxing and story-telling kind of fortnight.

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.
