Omaezaki Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, pull up a stump, mate. Rusty here, lookin’ at the charts for the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a slow burn to start, but there’s a pulse of proper energy comin’ through if you’re patient.

First up, a heads-up: The first real surf worth paddlin’ out for isn’t until Monday the 14th. So if you’re itchin’ for a wave this weekend, give it a miss. You’re lookin’ at a three-day gap from now until then.

Alright, let’s get into it. The main show is gonna be Omaezaki (a beach and reef setup). The water’s sittin’ at a comfortable 80°, which is dead average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

Monday the 14th is where we finally see some life. Morning session is the go – we’re talkin’ a clean 3 ft swell from the ESE (moderate energy at 235) under glassy skies. That’s your window for a nice, clean paddle. The afternoon turns to junk with onshore wind, so get it early.

Tuesday the 15th is another beauty. Morning has a 3 ft SE swell with absolutely zero wind – glassy as a mirror – and good energy (255). That’s a standout for the first week. The afternoon stays glassy with a 2 ft Easterly swell, but the energy picks up (262). Real clean conditions.

We get a few ordinary days mid-week (Wednesday and Thursday), with Thursday morning bringin’ a choppy 4 ft from the east that’s just messy.

Now, for the second week, the real juice shows up, but it’s a heavy dose for experts only.

Saturday the 19th is a beast. A 10 ft swell from the ESE with fresh offshore wind, but the combined energy is colossal (5870). This is big, powerful, and only for the brave. If you’re not solid, stay on the sand. It’s a standout, but you need to know what you’re doin’.

Sunday the 20th is still thumpin’ at 8 ft from the ESE, but the wind swings moderate offshore. Excellent for experienced crew (energy at 1397). It’s still big, but cleaner than Saturday.

Monday the 21st eases a bit to a 5 ft Southerly swell, but the energy is still strong (997). Clean conditions with light breezes. This is your best chance for a big, clean wave without it being terrifying.

Heads-up for Tuesday the 22nd: That morning swell jumps to a ridiculous 43 ft (energy reading 77223). That’s not surfable, that’s a maritime hazard. Don’t even think about it. The afternoon drops to 15 ft from the SW, but it’s cross-shore and chopped. Another big one.

After that, the energy drops off fast. Wednesday the 23rd is a write-off with gale-force winds and tiny, blown-out slop. Thursday the 24th shows a small 4 ft Easterly with offshore wind, but it’s ordinary. Friday the 25th afternoon brings a cleaner 7 ft Easterly with moderate offshore wind and decent energy (687), which is another solid option for experienced surfers.

The rest of the run into the 27th is just small, clean but unremarkable waves.

The Standouts:
- Monday 14th morning: First clean, glassy waves of the window.
- Tuesday 15th: Two glassy sessions with consistent, waist-to-chest high energy.
- Saturday 19th (next week): Massive, powerful swell for experts. A performance day if you’re game.

Overall, the first half is small and clean, the second half is big and raw. Don’t get caught out by that Tuesday the 22nd swell – that’s a day for stayin’ dry and watchin’ from the cliff.

Rusty.
