The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
First up, I gotta be straight with you: the next week or so is a tough watch. We’re looking at a real flat spell for Nomozaki, with barely a ripple to get excited about. The water is sitting at 85°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least you won't be cold while you're floating around waiting for something.
The outlook finally gets a pulse on Sunday the 9th when a solid SSW swell pushes in, but the wind is a problem. We’re talking 6ft on Sunday morning with a 17-second period, and combined wave energy is pumping at 1945 (moderate wave energy). That’s a proper groundswell, but it's arriving with a strong cross-off breeze that’s keeping things clean. The problem is, by Monday the 10th, that swell jumps to 12ft from the same direction, with a 16-second period and energy skyrocketing to 6278. That’s serious power, but it's only for the experts. The winds are near-gale, so it's going to be a raw, challenging session. Not one for the faint-hearted.
The best window for a paddle looks like Thursday the 13th. The swell has dropped to a manageable 5ft from the SSW, with a 11-second period. The energy is a moderate 531. The wind is a light cross-off from the NNE, keeping things clean. It’s not a classic, but it’s the most user-friendly combo we’ve seen in a while.
For a standout, I’m pointing to the early part of Thursday the 13th. The swell is 5ft from the SSW, coming from the optimum direction, and with that light offshore breeze, it’s going to be your cleanest session. The break is a beach and reef setup, and it rarely breaks, so don't go in expecting too much. It’s not going to be packed, but with it being inconsistent, you’ll need some patience.
Overall, the first week is a bust. The second week holds some promise, but it's a long way out. Stay tuned.
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.
