The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening for the Nomozaki area.
We’ve got a short burst of fun surf starting Sunday the 9th of August, but after that, it’s a long, quiet spell. The first few days are worth getting excited about, but the swell fades fast and the rest of the 16 days is mostly flat or too weak to mention.
Sunday morning the 9th of August kicks things off with a clean 4ft SSW groundswell, 12-second period, rolling into Nomozaki. Wave energy is moderate (459). Water temp is a touch warmer than normal at 85°. Wind is a light easterly cross-off, keeping things tidy. This break is a beach and reef setup that rarely breaks, so catching it working is a treat. Crowds are possible, but with the inconsistency, you might luck out. The real standout is Sunday afternoon – 5ft, glassy south wind, combined energy climbing to 655. That’s the best of the lot.
Monday the 10th keeps the quality going in the morning – 5ft, 12-second SSW groundswell, glassy northeast wind. Still good energy (636). The afternoon gets a bit cross-on, so hit it early.
Tuesday the 11th holds 4ft SSW swell with an 11-second period. Morning is glassy with a light NNE breeze. Energy stays moderate (382). The afternoon goes cross-off with a NNW breeze, still clean enough.
Wednesday the 12th sees the swell drop to 3ft, period down to 10 seconds, energy down to 178. Morning has offshore wind, so it’s rideable but nothing special. From Thursday the 13th onward, the swell falls under 3ft and combined energy drops below 100. Wave comments turn poor or worse, with onshore and cross-shore winds making a mess. From Friday the 14th through to Monday the 24th of August, the swell barely shows – heights of 2ft or less, short periods, weak energy. That’s a gap of nearly two weeks with nothing worth paddling for. Some days are glassy, but the swell is just too tiny.
Bottom line: Sunday morning through Tuesday morning is your window. The standout is Sunday afternoon the 9th – that 5ft glassy clean swell at Nomozaki is as good as it gets here for this stretch.
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.
