The Lowdown
Alright folks, it's your local surf reporter Rusty here. Let's get straight into the outlook for the Nomozaki (Nagasaki) area.
Right off the bat, I have to be honest with you: the next 16 days are looking pretty grim. There is no surf to get excited about. The models are showing nothing but flat, weak conditions for the entire forecast period. We're talking about a long stretch of tiny, poorly formed waves that just aren't worth suiting up for. It's a real bummer, but this is one of those blank runs that can happen around here.
The water is sitting at 84°F for the first day, which feels a touch warmer than average for this time of year.
Let's break it down. For the first week, from Saturday the 25th of July right through to Friday the 31st, the swell is tiny, peaking at a measly 2 feet on the afternoon of the 30th. The combined wave energy is weak, barely scratching into double digits (like 35 on the 30th). The winds are all over the place, mostly cross or cross-onshore, making for a choppy, messy surface. Not a single session is worth paddling out for.
Into the second week, from August 1st to the 9th, it's more of the same. The swell just doesn't show up. We get a few glassy mornings, like the 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th of August, which is torture because the wind is right but there's no wave to ride. The energy levels are pitiful, with the highest reading being a weak 65 on the 7th. The swell period is often long, over 11 seconds, suggesting a groundswell, but with heights of only 0.7 feet to 1 feet, it's just a long-period ripple.
So, what's the best on offer? Honestly, there isn't one. I can't point you to a standout session because the numbers just don't back it up. There's nothing to catch here. Keep your board dry, and hopefully, the forecasts will change. This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
