Omaezaki Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Omaezaki.

To be straight with you, the next few days are pretty grim. We’ve got a gap of almost no decent surf from now through to Saturday morning the 1st. Thursday the 30th is a write-off with onshore winds and poor conditions, and Friday the 31st morning is glassy but the swell is tiny and weak. Saturday the 1st is flat with a useless long-period swell. Hold tight.

Things finally start to look up on Sunday the 2nd of August. That morning, we get a clean little pulse from the southeast at around 3.6ft, with a very long 16-second period and a light cross-offshore breeze. The energy jumps to a solid moderate level (580), and conditions will be clean. It’s not huge, but for a beach and reef set-up like this, that long-period groundswell could produce some nice, lined-up waves. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so you might have some company.

Monday the 3rd sees the swell building. Morning brings 6.9ft from the southeast, period still a long 17 seconds, and clean cross-off winds. The energy is strong now (2522), but with size over 5ft, beginners may find it a handful. The afternoon bumps up to 8.2ft, still clean and with that long period. This is getting into the fun zone for experienced surfers.

Here’s the standout: Tuesday the 4th of August. The morning offers a solid 9.8ft southeast swell, 17-second period, clean conditions with light east winds. Combined energy is very strong (5620). The rip bowls and reef sections should be firing, but honestly, at this size—over 8ft—this break is only for experts. It’s going to be too big for most. Water temp is about average for this time of year.

From Tuesday the 4th through Saturday the 8th, the swell goes absolutely massive, regularly over 13ft and peaking at 18ft on Thursday the 6th. The energy readings are huge (five-digit numbers). Even with clean offshore winds, Omaezaki is a beach and reef set-up, and this kind of power is not for paddling. It’s more of a big-wave or even kite-surfing show. Steer clear unless you’re charging at a world-class level.

We finally get a drop on Sunday the 9th with 5.6ft from the east-southeast, still clean but the conditions are described as marginal. Monday the 10th afternoon is the next bright spot: clean, 4.9ft from the east with a 15-second period, and conditions rated excellent for experienced surfers. The energy is moderate (1869). That could be a good session if you pick your peak.

Tuesday the 11th morning offers a clean, offshore 3.9ft from the south-southwest, 12-second period, with light winds. Not huge, but fun. After that, the swell starts to fade through Wednesday and Thursday, with smaller waves and light onshore breezes creeping in. Friday the 14th morning has a strong offshore wind (35 km/h) but only 3.6ft, so it’ll be clean but small.

Overall, the real highlight is the morning of Tuesday the 4th of August—big, clean, and powerful—but only if you’re an expert. The second-best window is the afternoon of Monday the 10th of August for a clean, solid head-high wave that’s more manageable.

Stay safe out there.
