The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here.
Well, I’ll be straight with you—this is a tough one. Looking at the forecast for Nomozaki, the next 16 days are a real struggle. Right from the start, and for the entire first week, we’re looking at tiny, weak surf. The swell is consistently at 0.3 ft and the combined energy is barely a whisper, sitting at just 2 (weak energy). That’s not enough to push a sea lion off a rock. The wind does offer some clean windows, especially on the morning of the 13th with glassy conditions, and the 15th afternoon with another glassy spell, but there’s simply no wave to ride. You’ll be staring at a flat lake.
Things get a little more interesting, but not for the right reasons, around the 20th of September. We start to see a very long-period swell rolling in, around 17 to 18 seconds, pushing from the south. The energy picks up to 24 (weak energy) on the 20th morning, and even 54 (weak energy) on the 21st morning. But the swell height is still a pathetic 0.7 ft to 1 ft. That’s not surfable. The wind on the 21st swings to a fresh offshore from the NNE at 22 mph, but it’s just blowing over flat water. By the 22nd, the wind ramps up to a near gale, and the swell disappears entirely. This period is a write-off for paddle surfing; with that much wind and no real wave, it’s honestly more interesting for kite surfing than anything else.
This break rarely breaks anyway, and this forecast confirms it. There are no good surf options in this 16-day window. It’s a blank run, and for Nomozaki, that’s not unusual. Don’t bother checking the charts for a while; forecasts can change, but this one looks bleak.

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.
