The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's on offer for Nomozaki. It's a beach and reef set-up, but I gotta be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a real battle, with very few windows that are even worth paddling out for. We're looking at a long stretch of poor conditions, with only a few fleeting moments that might be worth a look.
The water's sitting at a balmy 83°F, which is bang on average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn't show up until Monday, the 24th of August. The morning looks glassy with a light NNE wind, and while the swell is a weak 3 ft from the SSW, the combined energy is a low 117. It's not going to be anything special, just "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It's a beginner-friendly size, so if you're just wanting to get wet, it's an option.
The next morning, Tuesday the 25th of August, is a bit more promising. It's looking glassy again with a light NNE wind, and the swell has bumped up to 4 ft from the SW. The combined energy is still a modest 137. Again, it's "ordinary conditions" but it's clean. The swell period is a short 6 seconds, so it won't be the most powerful, but it's rideable for a beginner.
After that, the conditions drop off again. The last possible chance pops up on Saturday the 29th of August. The morning session is glassy again with an easterly breeze, and the swell is 4 ft from the SSW with a combined energy of 230. The period is still short at 7 seconds, so it's more of the same – ordinary but clean.
Honestly, this is a pretty grim run. The break is rarely consistent, so a blank spell like this is more normal for the area. I wouldn't be holding my breath for anything epic. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, maybe give the board a wax and wait.
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.
