The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Nomozaki.
Honestly, we’re looking at a pretty rough start. For the next week and a half, it’s going to be a tough watch. The surf is tiny, with barely a wave to speak of right through to the end of July. We’re talking swell heights under 3 feet, short-period junk around 6 to 8 seconds, and the combined energy is struggling to get past 55 (weak). The wind is mostly cross-onshore, keeping things messy. There’s a long stretch of nothing worthwhile here. The water is 82°, which is about normal for this time of year.
Now, we finally get a glimmer of hope as we move into the start of August. The first standout is on Saturday the 1st of August. Get up early – the morning is looking glassy with a calm wind. The swell is a solid 7 ft from the SW, with a period of 11 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, and the combined energy is pumping at 1070 (strong). This is a big swell, over 8 ft, so this is strictly for experienced surfers only. For a spot like Nomozaki (beach and reef), that long-period swell will be looking for the right bank, but the early glass-off could make it special. The afternoon turns sloppy with a cross-onshore breeze, so the morning window is the key.
The second real highlight comes on Sunday the 2nd of August. Another early morning glass-off, with a slightly smaller but still solid 7 ft swell from the SSW. The period drops a touch to 10 seconds, but the energy is still strong at 733 (moderate to strong). This is still a big wave, so it’s for the crew who know what they’re doing. The wind is glassy in the morning, so it’ll be clean. Again, the afternoon gets chopped up by the wind.
After that, the swell starts to fade back down through the first week of August, with the surf becoming more ordinary. The wind stays cleaner in the mornings, but the size drops off.
So, to boil it down: the first week and a half is a write-off. The real action is on the first weekend of August. Saturday morning looks like the pick of the lot for the experienced chargers, with Sunday morning a close second. Don’t sleep on that early alarm.

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.
