The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you: this 16-day outlook for our local zone is a tough one to write. Looking at the charts, there’s a real dry spell on the cards. The breaks are barely waking up, and the conditions are pretty average. We’re looking at a long stretch of barely-there swell and mostly wonky winds, so don’t get your hopes up for anything epic.
The first good sign doesn’t even show up until the very end. We’re looking at a gap of over a week with nothing really worth paddling out for. The water temp is sitting at 85°F for the first spot we check, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s running warm.
Alright, let’s get into it. The only real glimmer on the horizon is at Nomozaki. This spot is a beach and reef setup that rarely breaks, so it’s not exactly a go-to, and it’s usually got some crowd potential. But for the first time in a while, we see a pulse.
The standout moment is Monday the 10th of August in the morning. We’ve got a clean, glassy start with a light breeze. The swell is from the S at 2ft with a period of 9 seconds, pushing a combined energy of 39 (moderate). The wind is a slight cross-on, but the sea state is clean. It’s not big, but it’s the best we’ve got. The afternoon sees a similar 2ft swell from the SW, but a gentle cross-onshore breeze (9 mph) brings in a little chop, making it less appealing.
Then on Tuesday the 11th of August, the morning shapes up okay. The wind goes glassy, and we get a 1ft swell from the SSW at 9 seconds, with a combined energy of 43 (moderate). The afternoon picks up a little to 2ft from the SW at 10 seconds, with a gentle cross-shore breeze. The energy climbs to 54 (moderate). It’s the best conditions we’ll see all period, but for a spot that rarely breaks, you’ll be banking on a very specific window.
The rest of the forecast? It’s flat and unfriendly. Strong winds, tiny waves, and poor conditions dominate. It’s a long, quiet stretch.
So, bottom line: there’s a couple of modest windows right at the end of the 16-day run, but nothing for the beginners or the crew looking for a real session. It’s one of those blank runs that’s a bit more normal for the area. The forecasts can change, though, so keep your eyes peeled.
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.
