The Lowdown
Right, gather 'round, let's see what we've got here. I'm not gonna lie to you, this is a tough one. For the next 16 days, Nomozaki is looking like a write-off. There's no real surf to speak of, and the little bumps that show up are barely worth paddling for.
The first few days, from Thursday the 10th through to the start of the second week, we're talking about 0.3ft of swell at best. The wind is often offshore or light, sure, but with a combined wave energy barely registering (1 or 2), it's a lake out there. You'd be better off taking up paddleboarding. The water temperature is sitting at 84.2°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only notable thing.
We do see a bit of a pulse trying to form around the 18th and 19th of September. The swell period starts to climb, hitting 12 seconds and then 20 seconds, which is a very long period groundswell. The energy picks up a little, with combined energy readings of 10 and 12. But the swell height is still stuck at 0.3ft. It's a lot of promise with no payoff. The 20th of September looks to be the best of a bad bunch, with a tiny 0.7ft swell from the south, a very long period of 19 seconds, and the combined energy hits 33. That's the biggest number we see, but it's still pathetically weak. The morning has clean offshore winds from the NNE, but it's just not enough.
Honestly, unless you're chasing a ripple and have nothing else to do, there's nothing here. Nomozaki is a beginner-friendly break, but it rarely breaks anyway, and this forecast is a perfect example of why. For a beach and reef setup, you need a lot more than this. The setup would be more interesting for a kite than a paddle. Forecasts can change, but this run looks pretty normal for the area. That's all I've got. Stay patient.

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.
