The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat for the Nomozaki (beach and reef) area. There’s not a single decent wave on the cards across the entire 16-day forecast. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, messy, or non-existent surf.
Starting off from Monday, 27 July, it’s a real struggle. We’ve got a weak little 1ft swell from the SW, but it’s barely got any energy (26) and the period is 10 seconds, so it’s not really doing anything. The wind is cross-off in the morning, but the waves are just too small to be worth paddling out for. The whole first week is a write-off, with a mix of cross-shore and cross-onshore winds that just chop up whatever insignificant bump is there. For a break that *rarely breaks* anyway, this is about as bad as it gets.
The real kicker is the combined energy – it’s barely cracking 20 for most of the first week, with a lot of mornings reading single digits. The water temp is about average for the time of year, but that’s small comfort when there’s nothing to ride.
We roll into August with no change. A few mornings offer a glassy surface, like Monday 3 August and Tuesday 4 August, but the swell is still a pathetic 1–2ft. The energy is low (22 max), and it’s just not enough to push a wave you can ride. The afternoon winds swing around and ruin the little bit of shape that’s there.
And then it gets worse. From Thursday, 6 August, right through to Tuesday, 11 August, the swell meter flatlines at zero or 0.3ft. There’s no energy at all. The only thing to note is a few glassy mornings, but with no swell, it’s a lake out there. The offshore winds on Tuesday, 11 August morning are a nice touch, but with a 0.7ft SSW swell, it’s a tease.
Honestly, this is a total drought. This area can go through quiet spells, so this blank run isn’t completely out of the ordinary, but it’s still a bummer. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because things can change, but for now, find something else to do.
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.
