The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let's get real about Nomozaki. We're looking at a classic summer lull for the first week at least. The next few days are basically flat, with nothing to ride. It's not until we get deeper into the second week that we might see something with some punch.
From now until around August 6th, you might as well stay home. The swell is tiny, maybe ankle-high if you're lucky, and the wind is all over the place. There's a glassy morning on the 4th, but on 0.3ft of swell, it's just a relaxing float. Not a surf.
We get our first real pulse on the morning of Thursday, August 6th. A long-period southerly groundswell rolls in with an 18-second period, but the energy is still weak. It's clean with a 12 mph offshore, so if you're desperate for a knee-high roller, you might find one.
Now, things get a bit more interesting starting the 9th. Sunday morning, August 9th, we see a jump to 7ft of SSW swell. The energy is strong (2310), but the wind is a stiff 18 mph cross-off from the ENE. That's a lot of power, and it's going to be a handful. The afternoon pumps up to nearly 10ft with a 16-second period, and energy hits massive (4203). This is a serious swell for a spot that doesn't fire often. The wind will keep it clean, but this is expert territory only.
The real standout window, in my opinion, is the afternoon of Tuesday, August 11th. Swell drops to a more manageable 7ft from the SSW, with a 13-second period. The wind eases to a gentle 9 mph cross-off from the east. That's the sweet spot. The energy is still strong (1647), and the conditions are labeled excellent for experienced surfers. That's your session.
The swell slowly fades after that. The morning of Wednesday the 12th will have some good, clean 6ft waves, and the mornings of the 13th and 14th look glassy with fun, waist-high leftovers. But for the main event, lock in Tuesday afternoon, August 11th. Big, powerful, clean groundswell. Not for the faint of heart.
This is Rusty, telling you to pick your moment.

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.
