Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Nomozaki has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a slow start, I'm not gonna lie. We're looking at a stretch of pretty quiet, small surf for the first few days, so don't rush out the door just yet.

The water temp is sitting around 77°, which is about average for this time of year – nothing unusual there.

Right now, from July 6th into the 8th, it's mostly small, short-period chop with onshore or cross-onshore breezes. The combined energy is weak (54 to 167), and the wave comment just says "poor surf conditions." Not worth paddling out for.

Thursday the 9th sees a tiny glassy 2 ft swell from the SW, but the period is still short (7 seconds) and the energy is weak (54). It's clean but there's just nothing doing.

Friday the 10th is where things start to get interesting, but it's still very ordinary. We've got a 2 ft SW groundswell with a solid 20-second period in the morning, but it's small. The energy picks up to 220, and it's clean. The afternoon gets better: cleaner again with a 3 ft SSW swell, 18-second period and the wind goes offshore light from the NNE. That's a nice combo. The energy jumps to 514. Surfable, but don't get too hyped.

Now, Saturday the 11th is the clear standout in this whole forecast. This is the one to circle. Morning session brings a beautiful 6 ft SSW groundswell with a super-long 19-second period. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the ESE, making for clean conditions. The combined energy is a punchy 2024 – that's proper wave energy. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The wave comment says it all. The swell is over 5 ft, so it's a bit much for beginners, but for anyone who's been around the block, this is the best on offer. That long period will mean long waits between sets, but the waves will have real shape and power. Since Nomozaki is a beach and reef setup, that long-period groundswell might be a bit straight on the beach, but the reef could really sort it out.

The afternoon on Saturday is a bit more marginal: 6 ft of swell, same direction, but the wind goes cross-shore and the energy is even higher at 2343. It's a bit of a mixed bag with the tide, but still a solid option for intermediates and above.

Sunday the 12th holds well. Morning has 6 ft SSW swell with a 14-second period, light cross-offshore winds, and energy at 1130. Clean and very good. The afternoon turns a little cross-onshore, so the morning is your window.

Monday the 13th still has decent 4 ft SSW swell, glassy in the morning, but it's dropping. Energy is 414. Worth a paddle if you missed the weekend.

From Tuesday the 14th onward, it fades away fast. Swell drops below 3 ft, energy falls back to triple digits and then double digits. There's a glassy morning on the 14th with 2 ft, but it's weak. Another glassy morning on the 16th, but only 1 ft. By the 17th through the 21st, we're looking at tiny surf under 2 ft most days, with occasional clean windows but nothing worth getting wet for. The energy is pitiful – down in the 30s and 40s.

So, bottom line: sit tight through the first few days of flatness. Friday the 10th afternoon gives a sneak peek of what's coming, but Saturday morning July 11th is the true standout. Get on it if you can handle a bit of size and power. After that, it's a long slow fade into the second week. Don't hold your breath for the 16-day window beyond that Saturday – it's a desert out there.

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.

Nomozaki is 14 km (9 miles) from Togitsu. If you plan a holiday in Kyu Shu, look for hotels and other accommodation in Togitsu. Togitsu has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
