Table - best surf conditions forecast for Nomozaki over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me walk you through what's on offer for Nomozaki. This is a beach and reef set-up here, and I have to be straight with you – it's a tough outlook.
We’re looking at a long, dry spell. Honestly, for the first week, the surf quality is just poor. There’s wind on it from a direction that doesn't suit the spot, and we see the combined energy of all swells directed here is weak to moderate, maybe hitting 681 on the 13th July but the conditions ruin it. The swell period is short and the wind keeps it choppy. It’s not looking like one for the paddle board. There's a notable update here: from July 21st to the 25th, conditions improve with glassy mornings, but the swell is tiny, mostly around 2 ft or less, so it’s just not worth getting wet.
Then from the 22nd July, you get a little bump. On the 22nd July morning, the swell is 3 ft from the SSW with a period of 10 seconds, combined energy of 204, and it's glassy. That’s about the tiniest glimmer in this whole forecast. The water temp is sitting at 81°F, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing to worry about there.
That’s your only real chance to maybe find a dribbly one. But with the swell being so weak and waves just small, and the break rarely breaking anyway, don’t expect much.
All in all, it's pretty grim. We’ve got a solid 16-day run with almost nothing to offer. For the few early mornings with glass, you’re looking at knee-high slop at best. The setup here looks more interesting for kite surfing with that significant cross-onshore wind and poor surf quality, rather than a paddle session.
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.
