The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get the local lowdown.
It's a tough stretch, no two ways about it. The swell window is closed, and we're looking at a long dry spell where the waves just aren't going to show up. The first few days have a little bit of juice, but it drops off a cliff, and then we're stuck with tiny, gutless waves for over a week.
The only real window to talk about starts Monday the 10th. The swell tops out for the whole run with a combined energy of (458) coming from the SSW. We're talking 5ft of swell with an 11-second period – that's got some legs. But the wind is a cross-on from the WNW, so it's going to be a little messy. The water is a touch warmer than average at 85°F.
The one standout, the only real chance, is Tuesday morning, the 11th of August. The swell drops a bit to 4ft from the SSW, still with a solid 10-second period. The game-changer is the wind: a clean offshore from the NE at 6 mph. For Nomozaki, a beach and reef setup, that offshore breeze will polish it right up. The combined energy is still at a moderate (294). This is your best shot, but keep in mind the spot rarely breaks, so it's a bit of a mystery if it'll even be working.
After that Tuesday morning, it's a slow fade. Wednesday the 12th still has a 3ft swell from the SW with a gentle offshore, but the energy is sliding to (145). By Thursday the 13th, we're under 3ft and the combined energy is a weak (84). From there, it's a total washout. We're looking at a solid 10-day stretch of tiny, weak surf with onshore wind. The swell never gets above 2ft, and the combined energy is mostly in the double digits. It's not going to be any good for anyone.
There's a tiny glimmer way down the line. On Tuesday the 25th of August, we see a 2ft, 10-second SSW swell with glassy conditions in the morning. The combined energy is a weak (73), so it's barely a whisper, but it's something. It's a long way off, so don't get your hopes up.
So, the bottom line: if you're jonesing, hit it on the morning of Tuesday the 11th. That's your only shot at a clean wave. Otherwise, get ready to sit on the beach and watch the flat spell.
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.
