The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’m gonna level with you right off the bat – this 16-day forecast for Nomozaki is a tough one to write. We’ve got a blank run for the entire period, no sugar-coating it. The data shows every single session is marked as poor surf conditions, so there’s no standout day, no window of opportunity, not even a sneaky little ankle-slapper to get excited about. The first possible recommendation is Saturday the 5th of September, but it’s a bust.
The whole stretch from Saturday the 5th all the way through to Sunday the 20th of September is a surf drought. We’re looking at a solid 16 days of nothing. The swell is tiny – mostly 0.3 ft to 2 ft – and the combined energy never breaks above 65 (weak), with most days sitting in the single digits. Winds are often offshore or clean, but that doesn’t matter when there’s no wave to work with. On Saturday the 5th, we’ve got a 2 ft S swell at 9 seconds out of the NE with 12 mph offshore wind, but it’s just not enough. Water temp is sitting at 86°F, which is 5°F warmer than normal – that’s notably warm for this time of year, so at least you’ll be comfortable while you’re floating around doing nothing.
There’s a little bump on Sunday the 20th of September, with a 4 ft SW swell and 65 of combined energy, but it’s blown out by onshore winds at 12 mph. The period is a short 5 seconds, so it’s messy, weak, and not worth paddling out for. Nomozaki is a beach and reef setup, rarely breaks, and is inconsistent, so this kind of blank run is actually pretty normal for the area. It’s a beginner spot at best, but with nothing on offer, even the beginners are better off staying home.
Hang in there, mate. Forecasts can change. But for now, leave the board in the car.

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.
