The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Nomozaki.
Well, I won’t sugarcoat it – this is a pretty grim 16-day run for a wave. We’ve got a long, quiet patch ahead. The first real chance of anything decent doesn't roll in until the 27th of August, and even then, it’s just not coming together. The whole window is filled with onshore winds, weak short-period junk, and borderline conditions.
For the first week, it’s a real struggle. The water’s sitting at a warm 86°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but the waves just aren't there to enjoy it. The setup here is a beach and reef combo, but it rarely breaks as it is, and this forecast does nothing to change that.
We do see a pulse of energy on the 27th of August morning, with a 5ft swell from the SSW (combined energy of 485), but that 11-second period isn't going to do much on a beach setup, especially with a cross-shore wind. It’s really not worth the paddle.
The whole thing looks pretty dead until the northern hemisphere storms try to kick in. There’s a sniff of hope on the 5th of September, a Saturday morning. We finally get some cleaner conditions with an offshore wind from the ENE and a 4ft SW groundswell at a solid 12 seconds (combined energy of 407). That’s the standout window in this whole outlook, though it’s still nothing to get wildly excited about. The water cools a bit by then, but no temp data is given for that period.
After that, it fades back into tiny, weak leftovers. If you’re desperate for a surf, the only window worth a look is that Saturday the 5th of September morning. For everything else, you’re better off waiting for a new forecast.
Keep your eye on the charts, things can change.
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.
