Nomozaki Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

Straight up, it's a bit of a slow start for Nomozaki. The first few days are looking pretty flat and messy, so you won't be missing much if you leave the board in the car. There's a real gap here from the start of the forecast right through until the end of the first week of September. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, and the wind is all over the shop, making for poor surf. We're not talking about a proper session until we get into the start of the second week.

The first real whisper of something happening is on Wednesday morning, the 2nd of September. It's still tiny with only 1ft of swell from the SSW, but the wind goes glassy. The wave energy is real weak at just 70, so it's more of a paddle than a ride, but it's a sign of life. Thursday the 3rd morning is similar: glassy conditions with a little more push, 3ft from the SSW and wave energy climbing to 201. You could get some fun little ones here if you're keen, but it's nothing to write home about.

Now, the real standout window starts to build from Friday the 4th of September. The wind turns offshore, clean, and the swell holds steady around 3ft to 4ft from the SSW. This is your best bet for the first half of the outlook. The wave energy is a solid 250, and with that clean offshore breeze, Nomozaki will be offering up some properly shaped, rideable waves. The crowds are possible here, so get in early for a peak.

The energy drops again over the weekend, but the clean conditions stick around. Then, mark your calendars for Sunday the 13th of September. On the Sunday morning, the swell kicks up to 3ft, but the period is a very long 16 seconds from the SSW. The wave energy jumps to 490, but the wind is a moderate cross-offshore. It's going to be clean, but that long period groundswell might make it a bit tricky on the beach breaks, standing it up too straight. The afternoon of the 13th sees the swell jump to 8ft, but with a fresh cross-shore wind, it gets lumpy and the wave energy is a massive 3699. That's expert territory only.

But the true standout, the one you've been waiting for, is Monday the 14th of September. We're looking at a solid 23ft of swell from the SSW with a groundswell period of 13 seconds. The wave energy is an incredible 15721. This is a serious, powerful swell. The wind is a moderate cross-offshore, keeping it clean. This is for experienced surfers only. It's a long way off, so keep an eye on it, but this is the one that has the potential to be truly special.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. The second week has some clean, fun waves from the 4th to the 6th, but the big dog is waiting for you on the 14th of September. Don't be a kook and miss it.

Rusty.
