The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – if you’re looking for a surf this week, you’re going to be disappointed. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak swell and that’s about it. For the next week and a half, the ocean is basically flat. From Monday the 7th right through to Monday the 14th, every single report is calling it "poor surf conditions" with wave heights barely a whisper. We’re looking at 0.3ft to 0.7ft of swell, mostly from the south, with periods all over the shop but no real energy. The water temperature at Nomozaki (beach and reef) is sitting at 85°, which is *much warmer than normal* for this time of year – a solid 4° above average. That’s a talking point, but not much else.
Now, the first hint of anything that might get your heart rate up comes later on. Thursday the 17th sees a bit of a pulse. The morning brings a 6ft swell from the SSW, but with a period of only 6 seconds, that’s a short, weak windswell – and combined energy is a moderate 262. It’s surfable, but it’s ordinary. The afternoon is actually the best we’ve got in the whole 16 days. Thursday afternoon, the 17th, we see a 5ft SW swell with a 7-second period, and combined energy jumps to 350 (moderate wave energy). The wind is offshore from the ENE at 6 mph, so it’ll be clean. That’s your one real standout. For a beginner, 5ft is a little on the bigger side. For a more experienced surfer, it’s a solid little window.
After that? It drops back off. Friday the 18th morning has a 3ft SSW swell with a 10-second period (longer period, so better shaped waves, but the energy is moderate at 222) and offshore winds, but it’s still just "surfable but very ordinary". The rest of the run into the 22nd is tiny again – 0.7ft to 2ft. Nothing to write home about.
So, to put it plainly: there’s a massive gap from the start until the 17th. That’s over a week of flatness. Then one afternoon – Thursday the 17th – offers a decent, clean little window with a 5ft swell from the SW. That’s your best bet. But don’t get carried away; the whole period is a write-off otherwise. If you’re desperate, you might get a knee-high ripple on the 16th, but it’s not worth the drive.
Rusty out.

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.
