The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve been looking at the charts for Nomozaki. It’s a quiet start, but there’s a window of real promise if you’ve got the nerve.
First thing, the water is 84°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – nothing crazy, just a nice bonus.
We’re looking at a flat start. Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th are basically a write-off. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, and you’re getting nothing but whitewash. The combined energy is a pathetic 18 (Friday morning) and 39 (Friday afternoon). Not worth paddling.
Now, hold on, because Sunday the 9th is where it gets interesting. The swell jumps to 7ft from the SSW, with a solid 14-second period. That’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy hits 1977, which is a serious kick. The problem? At 7ft, this is no longer a beginner’s game. This is for experienced surfers only. The wind is a light cross-off from the east, keeping the faces clean. This is the standout of the whole forecast.
Sunday afternoon the swell drops a touch to 7ft, but the wind goes cross-shore, making it trickier. Monday the 10th keeps the 7ft SSW swell alive in the morning, with a light east wind – clean. The energy is still strong at 1309. This is a good follow-up.
Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th mornings are looking glassy with light wind, and the swell eases from 5ft down to 4ft. The period is still good at 12 to 11 seconds. These are solid, clean, intermediate-friendly waves. The energy is in the moderate range (647 and 389). This is good, consistent surf, but it’s not the highlight.
From Thursday the 13th onward, it all fades. The swell drops below 3ft, the period shortens, and the wind gets messy. From the 13th to the 22nd, there’s a long gap of poor to ordinary conditions. The energy drops into the double digits and single digits. Nothing to get excited about in that second week.
So, to sum it up: the best on offer is Sunday morning, the 9th of August, at Nomozaki. It’s a beach and reef setup, so a bit of a mixed bag. The swell is from the SSW, the optimum direction. It’s going to be a big, powerful, clean wave. But it’s for the experienced crew only. Monday morning is your next best bet for a cleaner, slightly smaller follow-up. After that, it’s a long wait.
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.
