The Lowdown

Alright, let’s break it down for the Nomozaki area. Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet outlook. The first chance at a wave comes on Wednesday the 12th of August, with a 3ft swell from the southwest. The wind is offshore from the northeast at 9 mph, keeping things clean, and the combined energy of all swells is moderate at 145. The water’s at 84°, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. You could surf, but it’s nothing special.

After that Wednesday morning, it dries up. The afternoon turns messy, and from Thursday the 13th right through the rest of the month, the scores are all zeros. There are long gaps – days where the swell is tiny, the wind is cross-on or onshore, and the energy is low. There’s a glassy moment on Saturday the 15th in the morning, but with only 2ft of swell, there’s nothing to ride. The energy is just 59, so it’s barely a ripple.

The only other half-decent moment is on Friday the 21st of August, when a 4ft swell from the southwest shows up, but the wind is a moderate cross-on at 12 mph, and there’s a risk of thunderstorms. The energy hits 116, so there’s some push, but the conditions are poor. Not a day for a paddle.

Then, on the morning of Thursday the 27th of August, you get a glassy 4ft swell from the southwest, with light airs and calm water. The energy is 70 – weak. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The afternoon lifts to 4ft, but the wind turns cross-shore and the energy becomes moderate at 131. Still, the quality is poor.

For the full 16-day window, Nomozaki rarely breaks, and this forecast proves it. There are no standout days. The best you’ll get is a mediocre session on the morning of the 12th or maybe the morning of the 27th. The swell is mostly from the south-southwest, which doesn’t favor the spot’s optimum southerly direction, and the period is short, so the waves are weak and fat.

No big swell, no clean windows, no real standouts. It’s a quiet period for Nomozaki. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, I’d leave the board in the car.

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.
