Omaezaki Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Hey everyone, Rusty here with your Omaezaki surf outlook. It’s a bit of a mixed forecast, so let’s break it down.

Right now things are pretty quiet. The start of the week is small and weak with poor conditions. For Monday the 14th, the morning is your best early call. We’ve got a glassy 3ft swell from the ESE with a solid 12-second period and moderate energy of 235. The water temp is a normal 80°F for this time of year. It’s small, but glassy conditions make it a great option for beginners on a soft top. Crowds can show up here, so expect some company.

Tuesday the 15th also has a nice morning window. Glassy winds again, with a waist-high 3ft swell from the SE. The period drops to 9 seconds, but with 252 energy it still has a little push. It’s a bit more consistent than Monday and the glassy conditions make it a solid call. By the afternoon, the wind goes offshore from the NNE, and we get a clean 2ft east swell with a very long 14-second period. A fun little session for the evening.

Now, the real standout is Friday the 18th afternoon. The morning is tiny and blown out, but the afternoon shapes up perfectly. An offshore wind from the ENE at 15 mph cleans up a 4ft SE swell. The period is a very long 18 seconds, and the combined energy is a strong 1073. That’s proper groundswell with a ton of power, and it will be breaking clean with that offshore breeze. This is the wave for experienced surfers – long period means better shape and longer lulls between sets. This is easily the pick of the first week.

Things go huge after that. Saturday the 19th sees a massive 12ft to 10ft swell hit with strong offshore winds, and the energy is absolutely pumping at 8964. This is way too big for this break and it’s expert only at best. It keeps going through Sunday the 20th and into Monday, with a 16ft monster and gale-force winds. Not surfable here – that’s kite territory if anything.

By Tuesday the 22nd we’ve still got a 18ft swell with insane 18599 energy, but it’s cross-shore and messy, and again way too big. The last half of the month calms down a lot. Wednesday and Thursday are small and weak.

The next good windows are Thursday the 24th afternoon and Friday the 25th morning. Thursday afternoon has a 6ft east swell with a short 7-second period and 256 energy – not the best shape, but clean with a light cross-offshore breeze. Friday morning though is a treat. Glassy conditions, zero wind, with a chest-high 4ft east swell and an 8-second period. Not huge, but when it’s glassy, it’s pure fun for everyone.

Sunday the 27th morning also looks promising. It’s further out, so keep an eye on it, but we’ve got a 4ft SE groundswell with a 12-second period and a clean cross-offshore breeze. The energy is solid at 512. This could be another really good session if it holds.

For the second week, the picks are Friday the 25th morning for the glassy clean waves, and Sunday the 27th morning for the better quality groundswell. Keep it on your radar.

This is Rusty, signing off.
