The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s happening around Nomozaki. I gotta be straight with you – this outlook is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is a flat spell, plain and simple. There’s barely a ripple to get excited about.
Looking at the numbers, the combined swell energy is tiny, mostly between 2 and 51 (weak energy), and the wave heights barely tickle 3 ft. The water is sitting at 86°F which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, a solid 4°F above average. That’s the only thing that’s pumping.
The first real chance to even think about paddling out is on Friday, September 4th. Nomozaki (a beach and reef setup) might see a faint bump of 1 ft from the SW with a 12-second period in the morning, but it’s coming with 25 km/h NE winds, and the forecast is calling it poor surf. The afternoon lifts to 3 ft from the S, but that’s with 40 km/h ENE winds and heavy rain. Not a pretty picture.
Saturday the 5th is more of the same – tiny 1 ft swell with offshore winds, but the surf quality is still poor. Sunday the 6th drops even further. Honestly, this break rarely breaks, and this forecast is proving it. The swell is too small, the period is short, and there’s just no energy.
After the 6th, it’s a dead run. From Monday the 7th right through to the end of the 16-day window on Saturday, September 19th, the heights are all 1.0 ft or less. The winds are a bit all over the place – some glassy mornings, some cross-off breezes – but it doesn’t matter when there’s no swell to work with. The longest period we see in the second week is a 10-second pulse on the 14th, but it’s only 1.0 ft. It’s basically a lake out there.
There are no standout days. Not one. This is a full, flat 16-day gap with no surf to recommend. For a spot that’s already inconsistent, this kind of blank run isn’t surprising, but it still stings. Keep the board waxed and hope the forecasts change. Rusty.
Short Range ForecastHeavy rain (total 37mm), heaviest during Fri afternoon. Warm (max 26°C on Sat afternoon, min 23°C on Fri night). Winds decreasing (fresh winds from the ENE on Fri afternoon, light winds from the NE by Sat night). | Days 4-6 Weather SummaryMostly dry. Warm (max 30°C on Tue morning, min 25°C on Mon night).

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.
