Table - best surf conditions forecast for Nomozaki over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the cards for Nomozaki (Japan).
Truth is, it’s gonna be a long wait for anything worth paddling out for. The start of the outlook is rough. Saturday the 11th kicks off with a 5ft SSW swell, but the wind’s a cross-on from the SSE, and the wave energy is moderate at 1384. It’s not good. Conditions stay pretty ordinary right through the following week. There’s a big run of poor surf and marginal days where the wind is mostly cross-on or cross, and the swell’s either small or chopped up. The combined energy drops right off too, falling to as low as 41 by Sunday the 19th. It’s a proper dry spell.
You finally get a flicker of hope around Friday the 17th in the morning when the wind goes glassy – dead calm. The swell’s tiny though, only 3ft from the SW, and the energy is weak at 97. It’s surfable, but it ain’t gonna get the heart pumping. That trend of small, clean but weak surf carries into Saturday the 18th morning with a NE offshore of 3 mph and a 2ft SW swell. Clean, but barely a wave.
The best chance in this whole outlook comes much later. Mark your calendar for Sunday the 26th of July in the morning. That’s the standout. The wind is glassy, dead calm. The swell is 4ft from the SSW with an 11-second period – a touch of long-period groundswell that should wrap in okay at this beach and reef setup. The combined energy is moderate at 281. Everything lines up for clean, surfable conditions. For Nomozaki, that’s the one. Don’t expect much company either given the state of things leading into it.
Water temp is 80°F, which is just about normal for the time of year. No surprises there.
Alright, that’s the picture. Hang tight for that last Sunday. 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.
