Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what Nomozaki has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, it’s a tough start. This spot is a beach and reef set-up that rarely breaks, and for the first few days, from Tuesday the 7th through to Thursday the 10th of July, we're looking at a real flat spell. Small, weak swell with poor, onshore or cross-onshore winds. Not worth getting wet for. You’re looking at a gap of about four days of pretty much nothing.

Things finally start to show a pulse of life around Friday the 11th of July. The morning is still tiny, with a 1ft glassy wave from the SSW, but the real kicker comes Saturday. Saturday the 11th of July is the standout window. The morning brings a clean 5ft SSW groundswell with a very long 19-second period, and the combined energy is really solid at 1301. The wind is a nice cross-offshore from the ENE. This is clean, lined-up swell, but at 5ft with that long period, it's already pushing into intermediate territory. The real gem is Saturday afternoon: the swell jumps to 6ft, also from the SSW, with the same 19-second period, and the energy rockets up to 2206. The wind stays a clean cross-offshore from the east. For experienced surfers, this is as good as it gets at Nomozaki. Remember, this is a break that rarely shows up, so you have to be on it.

Sunday the 12th of July carries that momentum. The morning has a slightly bigger 7ft SSW swell, though the period has dropped to 15 seconds, with 1976 energy and light cross-offshore winds. Afternoon looks unreal with a glassy 7ft SSW swell at 14 seconds, with 1601 energy. That afternoon glass-off is the pick of the weekend for cleaner conditions, but the size is pushing into only-for-experts territory.

You’d think that would be the highlight, but we have to be honest. After that weekend, it tails off. Monday the 13th sees the swell drop to 5ft, and the winds become less favourable, turning cross and then onshore. The rest of that week and into the next is a long, quiet run of small, weak surf. The water temperature is sitting at 77°F, which is about normal for the time of year.

Looking way down the line, there’s a flicker of hope for Sunday the 19th of July. The morning looks promising with a clean, glassy 3ft SSW groundswell at a decent 14-second period and 402 energy. The wind is dead calm. It’s not a monster, but it’s a clean, surfable wave. That is followed by Monday the 20th of July morning, where a glassy 5ft SW groundswell at 10 seconds with 370 energy might offer a session for the keen locals. But the winds for the afternoons turn onshore, so mornings are the only real chance. It’s a long-range hope, nothing locked in.

So, to sum it up: the first week is dead, the middle weekend (11th-12th July) is absolutely firing for those who can handle size, and the following week has a few quiet, clean mornings for a paddle but nothing to write home about. It’s a rare break that has delivered a rare window.

Stay frothing.
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.
