The Lowdown
Right, I’ve had a proper look at the charts for the next couple of weeks, and honestly, there’s not a lot to get excited about. The forecast is pretty grim for a solid stretch, but let’s walk through it.
We start with a run of nothing. Wednesday the 15th through to the 26th of July is just a write-off for any decent surf. The swell is weak and short-period, mostly from the SW, and the wind is a mess – onshore, cross-onshore, and just generally making a mess of things. The combined energy is weak, barely cracking 200 on the first afternoon, and it’s all tagged as “poor surf conditions.” It’s a long, flat, and choppy spell. The water temp is about 81°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, but you won’t be feeling it through the wind.
The only flicker of light comes right at the end of the outlook. On Monday the 27th of July, we get a brief window of hope. The morning at Nomozaki is looking glassy – a light easterly breeze, dead calm, with a 3ft swell from the SW. The combined energy is a modest 105, but for the first time in weeks, the conditions are actually clean. The swell period is only 7 seconds, so it’s a short, weak windswell, but if you’re desperate for a paddle, this is the one. It’s a beginner-friendly break, but it rarely breaks, so that glassy window is the only real chance. The forecast says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” which is about as good as it gets.
After that, Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th drop back into tiny, poor-quality surf with cross-offshore and then strong cross-shore winds. The swell barely registers.
So, to be honest, there’s only one standout in this whole 16-day run: the morning of Monday the 27th of July at Nomozaki. It’s the only time the wind is truly glassy, giving you a clean surface for a few small, weak waves. Don’t expect much, but if you’re itching to get wet, that’s your shot.

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.
