The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a pretty bleak outlook for Nomozaki. We’re looking at a long stretch of barely rideable, small, weak swell. The wave energy is weak, sitting anywhere from 11 to 88 (combined energy of all swells directed here). For the next 14 days, there's just nothing to get excited about. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the winds are all over the place, mostly cross or onshore. It's a classic case of the surf being a no-go for a proper paddle session.
The first real hint of anything surfable doesn't show up until Thursday, August 27th. Even then, it's marginal. We get a tiny 1ft swell from the SSW with a period of 11 seconds, and the combined energy is still only 75. The morning looks clean with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE, which is a positive. But with swell that small, it's really only going to be for the most patient longboarder, and even then, it's a stretch. This spot rarely breaks, so a blank run like this is pretty normal for the area.
If you're desperate for a splash, the glassy mornings on Tuesday, August 18th, Wednesday, August 19th, and Sunday, August 23rd will look pretty, but with combined energy at 43, 32, and 37 respectively, you're just bobbing around. The whole period is a write-off for any decent wave riding.
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.
