The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking flat for the Nomozaki region. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing to get excited about, so if you’re itching to paddle out, you might want to find something else to do for a while.
The opening of the forecast, from Thursday the 3rd of September right through until the end of the period, is pretty much a write-off. The swell is tiny, barely scraping 2 ft at its best, and mostly hanging around a pathetic 0.3 ft to 1 ft. The combined swell energy is weak, never climbing above a paltry 55 (moderate energy at best, but mostly in the doldrums under 41). It’s coming from the S or SSW, but with such little height, it’s a non-event.
The water is a balmy 86°F on the 3rd, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s small comfort when there’s nothing to ride. The wind is often offshore – from the NE – which would normally be a dream, but it’s blowing over a flat ocean. A few spots on the 10th and 18th of September have glassy conditions, but with waves of 0.3 ft to 1 ft, it’s just a real shame. Even the period on the 10th is a 9-second swell, which is nothing special, but the energy is only 2. It’s just not happening.
The entire 16-day window is a gap. There’s no standout, no blip of hope. For a spot that rarely breaks, this is a normal blank run. Don’t hold your breath. The setup is better for resting than riding.
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.
