Omaezaki Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s shaping up for Omaezaki over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, the weekend is a write-off. Saturday the 22nd is flat and messy with a light cross-onshore breeze, not even worth wetting a suit. We’ve got a couple of days of nothing, but patience will pay off big time.

Sunday morning the 23rd is a tease – some tiny 3ft swell from the SSW with glassy conditions, surfable but very ordinary. Still, it’s glassy, so if you’re desperate for a splash, you’ll have clean lines on the small stuff.

Now, Monday the 24th is where the magic starts. We get a solid jump to 5ft from the SSE with a very long 16-second period. The combined swell energy is strong at (1267). It’s glassy in the morning with a light offshore tending breeze. This is groundswell with serious push and shape, and it’s a standout for experienced surfers. For the more advanced crew, Monday morning is your window.

Tuesday the 25th sees the swell cranking up to 8ft from the SSE with a 14-second period. The combined energy is very strong at (3051). This is proper size – only for experts. The wind is onshore, which will close it out some, but the power is undeniable.

The first week stays chunky. Wednesday the 26th has 8ft from the S (2119 energy), but the wind shifts cross-onshore in the afternoon, making it choppy. Keep it to the early sessions.

After a bit of a drop-off, Friday the 28th brings a nice clean-up. 6ft from the SSW with a clean cross-off wind in the morning, building to 6ft by the afternoon with glassy conditions. The energy is solid (808-963). This is a top-quality window for anyone who can handle a bit of size.

Heading into the second week, things settle down but stay interesting. Monday the 31st of August offers 4ft from the SE with a clean offshore breeze. Good conditions, well-shaped, and the energy is moderate (513). A very solid option for intermediate crew.

We take another hit before a promising long-range call on Thursday the 3rd of September: we’re looking at 10ft from the SE with an offshore wind (1915 energy), but honestly, that’s too big for this break – the data warns us it’s going to close out.

Hold out for Saturday the 5th of September: 8ft from the E with a cross-off breeze. Combined energy is strong (1344). This is excellent, powerful surf for experienced surfers. The water is sitting at 80°F, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year, so don’t expect that mid-summer bathwater.

For the best on offer, I’m calling Monday the 24th of August as your absolute standout: 5ft, very long 16-second groundswell, glassy conditions. For the later window, Saturday the 5th of September is the one to circle – big, clean, and powerful.

The crowd at Omaezaki can be a factor sometimes, so get there early for the good ones. Or if the onshore gets messy, the beach and reef setup here might start looking more interesting for a kite session than a paddle.

Rusty, out.
