The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for our little stretch of coast.
Honestly, it's a tough run ahead. We've got a long, dry spell of tiny, weak surf to kick things off. For over a week, from now through the end of July and into the first few days of August, it’s just not happening. The swell is flat, mostly under 1 feet, and the energy readings are in the single digits or low teens, so don't even bother checking the buoys. There's a lot of cross-shore wind and chop, even when it's clean, there's nothing to ride. This blank run looks pretty normal for the area when the swell windows close up.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on the morning of August 4th at Nomozaki. A new SSW groundswell starts to trickle in at 2 feet with a 12-second period, and the water is a touch warmer than normal at 84°F. The energy picks up to a moderate 116, and the 5 km/h (3 mph) NE wind has it glassy. It's clean, but it's still only a knee-high dribbler at best. It's labelled as surfable but very ordinary, so keep your expectations in check.
The morning of August 6th is the one to circle on the calendar. That's your standout window. By 6:00 AM, we've got a 4 feet SSW swell rolling in with a 12-second period, and the energy jumps to a strong 413. The wind is a light 5 km/h (3 mph) from the NNE, keeping it offshore and clean. For a spot that rarely breaks, this is a rare alignment. Nomozaki is a beach-and-reef setup, so that longer-period groundswell will wrap in nicely, and those clean conditions will make for some proper fun waves. It's not huge, but it's the best we're going to get. The afternoon sees the wind swing cross-shore and chop it up, so make the most of that morning session.
After that, the swell fades again through the second week, with onshore winds and dropping energy taking us back to poor conditions. It’s the 6th of August or bust.
Stay salty,
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.
