The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for our local stretch.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is looking pretty flat and sad. We’re talking a real dry spell from now until around the 13th of September. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1.0ft to 1ft, and the energy is pathetic, with readings barely hitting the 50s at best. It’s clean offshore for a lot of that time, but with no waves to push, you’re better off doing something else. There’s not a single standout in that first block – it’s a total write-off.
Then, things get a little interesting but it’s still not great. Around the 13th of September, we see a jump in the swell, but it’s a messy, short-period windswell from the S. The energy picks up a bit, hitting 105 (moderate), but the wave quality is poor, and the wind is cross-shore. The morning of the 14th of September offers the best of a bad bunch. It’s glassy, with a 4ft south swell, period of 7 seconds, and the energy is at 110. It’s only just surfable, and the conditions are ordinary. For a beginner spot like Nomozaki (beach and reef), that’s about the only window where you might get a few grovelly ones. It’s a rare break here, so when it’s on, it’s special, but this is far from special.
The water temperature is sitting at 85°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Honestly, there’s nothing to get excited about. The whole 16-day window is a bust. This is a consistent pattern for the area when it goes flat, so don’t hold your breath. Keep an eye on the charts, but I’d be finding something else to do.
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.
