Omaezaki Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Omaezaki.

Overall, it starts off pretty flat and ordinary for the first few days, then we get a solid pulse of swell that is way too big for this spot, followed by a drop-off into small and messy conditions. The best bet is tucked away mid-period after the big stuff passes, but don’t get too excited about the size.

Monday the 14th is a write-off. Light cross-on winds and weak, lumpy surf at Omaezaki (beach and reef) with a tiny 3ft ESE swell and a combined energy of just 235. Water temp is sitting at 80°, which is bang on average for this time of year. Nothing doing.

Tuesday the 15th shows signs of life with a clean little morning. Offshore wind from the NE at 3 mph, 3ft from the SE and period at 9 seconds. Energy is still low at 248 but the surface will be clean and rideable for a beginner or logger. The afternoon picks up with a longer period E swell at 14 seconds, but the 2ft height makes it pretty gutless.

Wednesday the 16th is small and ordinary. Cross-off breeze with tiny E swell, just 2ft. Not worth paddling for.

Thursday the 17th: the morning has a fresh offshore but the swell is short period (7 seconds) and 4ft from the E. Combined energy is 176. The afternoon gets better – 5ft E swell, still short period but cross-off wind and clean. Not a standout but it’s surfable.

Friday the 18th is a weird one. Morning is dead – 1ft with long period SE groundswell at 17 seconds, energy only 50. That groundswell is way too long for this beach-reef setup and it’ll break straight. Afternoon shows 3ft SE at 16 seconds with moderate offshore wind. Energy bumps up to 406 but again, that period is a caveat.

Now pay attention, because here’s the real standout for the whole outlook, and it’s a heavy one. Saturday the 19th through Monday the 21st brings a massive pulse of swell. Saturday morning sees a 10ft ESE swell with 14-second period, NE offshore wind at 19 mph, and combined energy of 4634. By Monday, it’s 15 to 18ft. This is expert-only territory – it’s too big for this break. If you’re a seasoned charger and know Omaezaki well, this is the big wave window. For everyone else, leave it alone. Offshore wind keeps it clean, but the power is immense.

Tuesday the 22nd see the swell back down to a manageable 6ft from the E at 11 seconds, with moderate offshore wind. Energy is 838. This is the best all-rounder for the average surfer – clean, solid but not scary. Crowds are possible here, so expect company.

From Wednesday the 23rd onward things go flat and messy. Small, choppy, and blown out on the 23rd with near gale cross-onshore. Thursday the 24th is tiny and clean but under 2ft. Friday the 26th through Sunday the 28th is all small, cross-off or onshore junk with very low energy. The only glimmer is Tuesday the 29th, when a 5ft to 6ft E swell shows up with offshore wind. Combined energy is back to 348–431. That’s a decent finish to an otherwise patchy run, but it’s two weeks out, so keep an eye on it.

Bottom line: the big swell from the 19th to the 21st is the heavy highlight for experts only. The Tuesday the 22nd morning is your best bet for a clean, solid session without getting pounded.

Stay safe, stay salty.
Rusty.
