The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it. I've got the dope on what's coming our way for the next couple of weeks, and I'll be honest with you, it's looking like a long, flat spell.
We’re kicking off from the 13th of September, and the news isn't great. The swell is basically non-existent for a solid stretch. We’re talking about tiny, weak pulses that won't even get you out of the wetsuit. You'll see the combined wave energy is barely registering, with values like 1 to 16 – that's just a lake out there. The only spot we have to look at is Nomozaki, a beach and reef setup that rarely breaks, so this blank run is more normal for the area. For the first week, from the 13th right through to the 20th of September, you're looking at scraps of swell at best, mostly under 0.3 ft. Winds will offer some clean, glassy moments on the 18th and 19th, but with no swell, it's a complete washout. There are some promising offshore and cross-off winds here and there, but without any wave energy, it’s just a flat, glassy ocean. Honestly, it's more of a kite surfing window than a paddle surfing one if it wasn't so weak.
Moving into the second week, from the 21st of September onwards, it stays stubbornly flat. The combined energy values are just 0s and 1s. We get a few more shots of clean, offshore winds, especially on the 22nd and 24th, but the swell just isn't there. The water temp is a warm 81°, which is right on the money for this time of year, so at least it’s not freezing to look at a flat ocean. There's just nothing to get excited about. A tiny, weak pulse on the 19th with a very long period of 21 seconds shows up, but with a height of 0.3 ft, it’s just a ripple. This looks like a long stretch of poor surf with no standout days. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a tough one to call anything good.
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.
