The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's see what's going on for Nomozaki.
It's been a quiet start, no real surf to speak of for the first few days. Saturday the 8th is a write-off, with a weak 1ft south swell and a 20 km/h easterly breeze making a mess of things. The water temp is around 84°, which is about normal for this time of year, nothing unusual there.
Things start to turn around on Sunday the 9th. We get a pulse of 5ft to 6ft SSW swell rolling in with a solid 13-second period. The combined energy jumps to 865 (moderate wave energy), which is a proper kick in the guts. The morning has a gentle 15 km/h cross-off breeze from the east, so the waves should be clean. This is the standout of the whole run. The swell direction from the SSW is right on the money for Nomozaki's optimum. It's the best on offer, pure and simple.
Monday the 10th holds similar size – 5ft to 6ft from the SSW – with a 12-second period. The morning is clean again with a light east breeze (5 km/h). The energy is still strong at 893 (moderate wave energy). It's a great follow-up session.
Tuesday the 11th morning, the swell eases a touch to 5ft, but the wind goes glassy from the ESE. That's as good as it gets for conditions. The energy is still a solid 563 (moderate wave energy). This is a beauty.
The swell drops off from Wednesday the 12th through the rest of the week. Wednesday morning sees 4ft from the SSW with glassy conditions, but the energy is down to 305 (moderate wave energy). Still a fun little window. From Thursday the 13th onwards, we're looking at 3ft and under for the foreseeable future. The wind is a mixed bag of light cross-off and glassy mornings, but the swell is just too small to get excited about.
After the 15th of August, it's a long, drawn-out fade. The swell drops to 2ft and below. The combined energy values drop into the two-digit range – under 100 (weak wave energy). There's nothing to chase. The whole second week is a no-go for waves. A blank run like this is pretty standard for the area.
To sum it up: your best bet is Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th, with Tuesday the 11th morning as a close runner-up. Don't hold your breath for anything after that.
Stay wet, 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.
