The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days at Nomozaki are a tough pill to swallow. We’re looking at a flat spell that’s gonna stretch out for a long, long time.
The water's sitting at 85°F which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's the only thing that's got any energy.
The first few days, from Wednesday the 2nd through to the 5th, we’ve got tiny 1ft to 1.0ft swells rolling in from the SW and SSW. The wave energy is weak, sitting between 23 and 15 (combined energy). The wind is offshore and clean for most of it, which is a killer combo for quality, but there’s just no height to work with. It’s a beach and reef setup, but it rarely breaks here, and this proves it.
From the 6th of September right through to the 17th, it’s a straight-up desert. Swell heights drop to 0.3ft and then flat out disappear. The wind stays clean and offshore for a lot of it, but you can’t surf what isn’t there. With it being rarely breaking and inconsistent, this kind of blank run is more normal for the area.
Honestly, if you’re looking for a paddle, you’re out of luck. The wind is strong enough and the swell is that small, it’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle one. There’s no standout period here, no one day to get excited about. We’ll have to wait for the next system to fill in.
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.
