The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve gotta be straight with you – we’re looking at a pretty grim 16-day stretch for Nomozaki. There’s not a single wave worth paddling out for in the whole run. The swell just never shows up, and what little energy there is barely registers.
The first real chance of anything even remotely rideable kicks off on Sunday the 6th of September, but it’s a sad scene. We’re talking a tiny 1ft SSW swell with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is a pathetic 26. That’s weak, flat energy. The wind is offshore from the NE at 12 mph, which is clean, but with waves that small, you’ll be bobbing around on nothing. The water is a very unusual 86°, which is a massive 5° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a standout for the wrong reasons.
From there, it’s a long, flat run. Monday the 7th the swell drops to 0.3ft, and it stays there for day after day. The combined energy numbers are mostly 1 or 2 – basically zero. The wind is often offshore or clean, but it doesn’t matter when there’s no swell to push. We get a few days with a bit of a longer period, like Sunday the 13th with an 11-second period from the S, but the height is just 0.7ft and the energy is only 9. That’s a tease, not a wave.
The whole way through to Monday the 21st of September, it’s the same story: tiny swell, minimal energy, and poor surf conditions. Some days have a glassy surface, like Thursday the 17th morning, but again, 0.3ft of swell. There’s nothing to ride.
This is one of those blanks that’s normal for the area when the swell just doesn’t align. Nomozaki is a spot that rarely breaks, and this forecast confirms it. There is no standout session, no best day – the whole 16 days is a write-off for surf. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you might find a knee-high ripple on Sunday the 6th, but that’s about it. For now, don’t bother checking the buoys; just save the gas.
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.
