The Lowdown
Alright, listen up. It's flat out there. We're looking at a rough two weeks with not much to get excited about. From the 27th of August through to the 6th of September, it's a whole lot of small, weak swell and onshore junk. You'll be fighting for dribblers.
The water is running about 86° at the start of this, which is a few degrees warmer than usual for this time of year. Feels like a bath, but that's the only good news.
There's a bump in the water on the 3rd of September, but it's getting hit by a gale-force cross-shore wind and thunderstorms. That's a full-on write-off for surfing. The ocean's gonna be a washing machine. If the wind was blowing offshore, maybe it'd be different, but as it stands, it looks more like a kitesurfing day.
Then, the 4th of September has a bit more size, with a clean offshore wind in the morning, but the swell is still pretty weak. At about 3ft, it's not going to be firing, but it could be the pick of a bad bunch.
The real standout, if we're being generous, looks like the morning of the 7th of September. We've got a light offshore breeze with a 3ft south swell, but a short period of 6 seconds. The energy is weak, but it's the cleanest surf we see in the whole run. This one's a good call for beginners at Nomozaki. The small size and clean conditions will be user-friendly, but it's still just a small wave. It won't be perfect, but it's the best we've got.
After that, it fades back to nothing. So, it's a pretty blank run. If you're keen, keep an eye on the 4th, but the real (slightly) better bet is the morning of the 7th of September. Don't expect any magic. It's one of those times where you might be better off doing something else, but the forecasts can change, and it tends not to stay this poor for long.
Rusty out.

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.
