The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it.
What we’ve got here, to be honest, is a real flat spell for the region around Nomozaki. This is one of those rare and inconsistent spots, a beach and reef setup that barely sees any proper swell. Looking at the whole 16-day window, there’s basically nothing on the menu for paddle surfing. We start from now and we’re looking at a big gap of surf so small it's not worth talking about until the very last couple of days. The first real whisper of anything comes in late in the period.
The ocean’s been quiet, real quiet. For the first twelve days or so, it’s all zeros and flat ocean. You’d be better off taking the kayak out than a surfboard. The water temp is sitting around 81°, which is average for this time of year, so at least the wait is warm.
Now, if you’re desperate, keep an eye on the tail end. On the 28th of September, we start to see a little bump. Monday morning shows a small 1.0ft swell out of the SSW with a period of 14 seconds, giving us a combined energy of 56. That’s weak energy, but it’s a long-period groundswell, so at a place like Nomozaki, a reef setup might catch it marginally better than the beach section. The problem is, the wind is cross-offshore from the NNE at 12 mph. It’ll be clean enough, but the size is tiny.
The best of a very poor batch lands on the 29th of September, Tuesday morning. Swell is still small at 2ft from the SSW, period drops to 11 seconds, combined energy up to 68 – still weak but the most we’ll see. The wind is offshore from the NNE at 12 mph, which will make the face nice and clean. The wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions”, and that’s the honest truth. It’s not even a standout – it’s just the only option. For a spot that rarely breaks, this is about as normal as it gets for a blank run. Nobody’s going to be out there, so if you absolutely have to get wet, you’ll have the place to yourself. But don’t expect much.
Honestly, for an area like this, a kite would have more fun than a paddle surfer on these tiny days.

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.
