Table - best surf conditions forecast for Nomozaki over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Looking at the charts for the next couple of weeks, it’s a pretty tricky stretch ahead. The first real window of surf doesn’t show up until Saturday the 11th, and even then, it’s far from perfect. There’s a solid week of poor conditions after that, with a brief glimmer of hope right at the end. Let’s break it down.
Saturday 11th July is the standout, and it’s not a bad one. We’ve got a clean, glassy morning at Nomozaki (beach and reef). The swell is coming from the SSW at 4ft, with a very long period of 18 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and while the combined energy is moderate at 861, that long period means the waves will have real shape and power. The wind is a light easterly cross-off, so it’ll be clean. The water is sitting at 78°F, which is bang on average for this time of year. The catch is that this spot *rarely breaks*, so it’s a real treat when it does. Expect it to be a bit inconsistent, but the quality on offer could be magic. The afternoon sees the swell bump up to 5ft, but the wind swings southeasterly and goes cross-shore, introducing a bit of chop. Still, the morning is the pick.
Sunday 12th July brings a bigger pulse of swell – 8ft from the SSW with a period of 15 seconds. That’s solid groundswell, and the combined energy is strong at 2427. The morning winds are a cross-off from the ESE, keeping it clean. However, at 8ft, this is getting into expert territory, especially for a beach-and-reef setup. The afternoon drops to 7ft but the wind goes cross-onshore and choppy, so the session window is tight.
Then we hit a long, dry spell. From Monday 13th July through to Thursday 23rd July, the conditions are poor to marginal. The swell drops, the periods shorten, and the winds are mostly cross-onshore or onshore, making for chopped-out, messy surf. There’s a brief moment on Tuesday 21st July morning where it’s glassy with a 2ft, 12-second period swell, but it’s tiny and ordinary. The combined energy on that day is a weak 83. The 22nd of July morning is similar, glassy but only 3ft. It’s a long wait.
Finally, Saturday 25th July shows a bit of promise. The morning brings a clean 5ft swell from the SSW with a 10-second period, and a nice offshore breeze from the NE. The combined energy is a moderate 402. This is a decent option for the more experienced crew, as 5ft is on the bigger side for beginners. The afternoon goes a bit smaller and cross-shore, so again, the morning is the go.
If you’re a paddle surfer, the best bet is the morning of Saturday the 11th. That long-period SSW groundswell and clean cross-off wind at a rarely-breaking spot like Nomozaki is a true standout. The 25th July morning is the next best, but it’s a long way off, so keep an eye on it. For the rest of that week in the middle, it’s more of a kite-surfing scene with the onshore winds and choppy conditions.
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.
Nomozaki is 14 km (9 miles) from Togitsu. If you plan a holiday in Kyu Shu, look for hotels and other accommodation in Togitsu. Togitsu has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
