Omaezaki Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, it’s Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Omaezaki. We’ve got a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks, with some real punchy moments early on before it fades into a quieter, more patient game. Let’s break it down.

The first spell kicks off Friday the 7th of August, but honestly, it’s a bit of a rough start. We’ve got a solid 8ft S swell with a 12-second period, the combined energy is a strong 2254, but that 12 mph E wind is putting a cross-off chop on the face. It’s clean, but the tide and conditions just feel marginal. Not the one to get too excited about.

Saturday the 8th is where the first real glimmer shows up. The morning has a 7ft swell from the S, 11-second period, and the wind is a gentler 9 mph from the ENE. It’s dropping to a moderate 1187 energy, but it’s clean. This is solid, experienced-surfer territory and Omaezaki is a beach-and-reef setup that can handle it. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

But if you want the standout of the whole run, point your board at Sunday the 9th of August. The morning sees a 5ft pulse from the ESE with a long 13-second period, giving it a real groundswell feel. The energy is strong at 1504, and with a light 6 mph breeze from the east, it’s cross-off and clean. This is a classic setup for the break, with the swell direction matching the optimum S direction nicely. It’s a top pick.

Monday the 10th continues the run. The morning is glassy, with a 5ft E swell, 12-second period, and zero wind. That’s a 1107 energy reading and it’s just about perfect for experienced surfers. Tuesday the 11th is also a keeper for the early crew, with a 4ft E swell, glassy conditions, and a dead calm. The energy is 895, and it’s very good. Crowds are sometimes a thing here, so get in early.

After that, the swell drops off. The second week gets a lot more patchy. Wednesday the 12th is a write-off, and Thursday the 13th is marginal. The run from the 14th to the 15th of August is weak, with dropping energy (down to 301 at one point) and 3ft to 5ft swells. It’s clean, but it’s small.

There’s a bit of a pulse on Sunday the 16th of August, with a 8ft E swell hitting the afternoon, but the 12 mph cross-off wind keeps it messy. The best of the late window is Monday the 17th of August, with a 6ft E swell, a 10-second period, and a 16 mph NE offshore wind. That’s clean, decent energy at 759, and it’s good for experienced surfers.

The last few days, from the 18th to the 22nd of August, are small and weak. The best of that is Saturday the 22nd, with a 3ft SSW swell, glassy ENE wind in the morning, and a clean face. It’s a longboard or funboard kind of day.

So, to wrap it up: the true standout is Sunday the 9th of August with that long-period ESE groundswell and clean conditions. Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th are also excellent. The rest is a mix of punchy but messy, or small and clean. No kite-surfing calls here, just a solid, if inconsistent, couple of weeks.

Stay stoked.

Rusty.
