Alright, Rusty here, talkin' about Nomozaki.
Water temp is about 25.6°, which is right where it should be for summer – no complaints there.
Truth is, it’s a lean few weeks. The only real action is in the first half of the 16-day window, and it ain't a full-blown event. The one to circle is Saturday morning, July 11th. We’ve got a 3.6ft swell from the SSW, and the period is a meaty 18 seconds – that’s real groundswell. The combined energy reads 919 (moderate). The wind is light and cross-offshore from the ESE, so the surface is gonna be clean and inviting. That’s your best shot. Since it’s a beach-and-reef setup, that long period (over 15 seconds) will really make the reef sections line up nicely. Keep in mind, this spot rarely breaks, and you might have some company, so get there early.
Sunday morning, July 12th, bumps up to 7.9ft from the SSW with a 16-second period – that’s a lot of water (combined energy 2859 – strong). The wind stays cross-offshore from the SE at 12 mph, so it’ll be clean. That size is solidly into expert territory, and the long period might make the beach break close out, but the reef could handle it. By Sunday afternoon, the wind goes cross-on and the quality tanks.
From Monday, July 13th, the swell drops off quickly. From Tuesday, July 14th, right through to the end of the 16-day window, there’s nothing to recommend. The energy is weak (two-digit numbers like 62, 41, 43), and the wave heights are tiny – mostly 1ft to 2ft. Not worth wetting a wetsuit for. It’s a quiet stretch, but that’s just how it goes sometimes around here.
So, bottom line: Saturday morning, July 11th at Nomozaki is your only real standout. Clean, long-period groundswell, decent size. After that, the surf shuts down hard.

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.
