The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – the outlook for the next 16 days around Nomozaki is a real stinker. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with nothing worth paddling out for. The first surfable day? There isn’t one. The whole forecast period is a write-off, with poor surf conditions across the board. It’s a tough run, but it happens in this area when things just don’t line up, and forecasts can always change.
Let’s walk through it. Starting Friday the 24th, we’ve got a tiny 1 ft swell from the SW, with a short period of 6 seconds, and the combined energy is weak (9). The morning is glassy, but the waves are just too small and weak to do anything with. Saturday and Sunday the 25th and 26th are even worse, with swell dropping to 0.7 ft and barely any energy. Monday the 27th sees a longer period of 11 seconds, but still only 0.7 ft to 1 ft, and the energy is still weak (19–56). The water temp is about average for the time of year, sitting at 83°F.
The second week doesn’t get any better. Saturday the 1st of August has a little bump with a 1 ft swell from the SW, period of 10 seconds, and moderate energy (35), with glassy conditions in the morning. But it’s still too small for a proper surf. The best we see is Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th, with 2 ft swell from the SW, periods around 10–11 seconds, and moderate energy (33–57), but again, the waves are too weak to recommend. There’s a bit of a pulse on Friday the 7th with 2 ft swell, 10-second period, and moderate energy (69), but the wind is a strong 25 mph, making it blown out.
Honestly, there’s not a single standout. The wave heights never top 2 ft, and the energy stays weak to moderate. It’s a frustrating outlook, but with the low consistency of the break, a blank run like this isn’t shocking. I’d say keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, leave the board in the shed.
Rusty.

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.
