The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Omaezaki over the next couple of weeks. Straight up, I’ll be honest with you—this is a rough patch. The first week and a half is pretty grim, with very little to get excited about. The water temperature is sitting at 77°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so you might want a slightly thicker spring suit.
We kick off on Thursday the 16th, and it’s a write-off. The wind is onshore, the swell is a weak 3ft from the SW, and the combined energy is a paltry 185—real weak stuff. That carries through Friday and into the weekend. There’s a faint glimmer on Friday morning the 17th with a 3ft swell from the SW and a cross-offshore breeze, but it’s still ordinary. The energy drops to 132, and the period is short at 8 seconds, so it’s not going to hold up.
Sunday the 19th morning is about the best of a bad bunch early on. The wind goes light and cross-offshore, with 2ft from the E, period of 9 seconds, and energy of just 99. It’s surfable, but you’d be scratching for them. The crowd factor at Omaezaki can be an issue sometimes, so on a day like this, you might have a few other keen locals out.
Then we hit a bit of a gap. Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st are both poor. Tuesday morning the 21st does have a glassy, calm wind, and the swell is 2ft from the E with a 11-second period, giving it a bit more push. The energy is 132—still weak. If you’re desperate, that’s your window, but it’s not going to be memorable.
The real doldrums set in from Wednesday the 22nd through to Friday the 24th. Swell drops to nothing—0.7ft and 1.0ft—with energy as low as 20. You’re not surfing. It’s a flat spell.
Now, hold on, because the second week gets interesting, but it’s not for the faint-hearted. Saturday the 25th kicks off a size increase, but the wind is howling onshore from the SW at 15 to 22 mph. The swell jumps to 4ft, but the period is a short 5 seconds, and energy is 158. Unsurfable. Sunday the 26th keeps building: 4ft from the SSE, period 13 seconds, and energy jumps to 529. But that onshore wind is still shredding it.
The real standout, and I mean the only one worth talking about, rolls in on Monday the 27th. The swell is a solid 5ft from the SSE, with a 11-second period, and the combined energy is 1245—that’s strong wave energy. This is a proper groundswell, but here’s the caveat: Omaezaki is a beach and reef setup, and long-period swells from the SSE can break a bit straight. The wind is onshore though, WSW at 12 mph, which is a killer. It’s a big, messy, powerful wave. Then by Tuesday the 28th, it gets even bigger—8ft from the SSW, period 13 seconds, energy 2327. That’s serious power. The wind is cross-on, WSW at 9 mph, making it choppy. This is expert-only territory. Anything over 8ft is for the big dogs. The swell direction from the SSW matches the optimum S direction pretty well, but the wind is just not cooperating.
After that, it slowly drops. Wednesday the 29th still has 6ft from the SW, period 12 seconds, energy 1378, but the wind is onshore again. The rest of the week fades back to smaller, onshore slop.
So, the best of the whole run? Honestly, if you’re a confident surfer, Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th have the most power, but the wind will punish you. Watch for a window on Tuesday morning the 28th with a cross-offshore breeze, but it’s marginal. For everyone else, save your energy. This is a frustrating stretch. The good news is that Omaezaki is fairly consistent, so it won’t stay this way forever.
Rusty.

Information about the Omaezaki Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Omaezaki provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Omaezaki can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Omaezaki 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 (Omaezaki) 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 Omaezaki 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.
Omaezaki is 1 km (1 miles) from Oyama. If you plan a holiday in Shizuoka, look for hotels and other accommodation in Oyama. Oyama has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
