The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty back with the Nomozaki rundown. It’s been pretty quiet, and this spot doesn't fire too often as it is. Looking at the charts, there’s no reason to paddle out until the 30th of August, so you’ve got a long dry spell to start.
That Sunday the 30th is the first chance at a wave, but it’s tiny. You’re looking at glassy conditions with a 2ft swell from the SSW at 9 seconds. The combined energy is weak at 82, so it’s a real knee-slapper. Water temp is about normal for this time of year. The 3rd of September sees a bit more energy bump up to moderate levels (135-187), but the wind is fresh and lumpy, so you’ll be fighting chop.
The real standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of the 10th of September. That’s the pick of the forecast. A 3ft swell from the SSW with a 12-second period brings the combined energy up to 226 – the highest of the run. The offshore winds from the NNE will groom it nicely, making for clean conditions. It’s still small, but it’s the cleanest window you’ll find. The next morning, the 11th, also has a clean 2ft swell with light offshore winds, but it’s a step down again.
So, a long quiet patch with only one morning – the 10th of September – really worth setting the alarm for. Don’t hold your breath on the rest.
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.
