It's very likely that there's no Host header sent, so it's being directed
to the server set as "default".

In my setup i define a server{} section for every real host, and then add a
separate "catch all" one for everything else and turn off the logs when not
debugging.
If you are able to do something similar, it should capture those spurious
connections, direct them to the default host, and not log the lines

#catch all
    server {
        listen 80 default_server;
        server_name localhost.domain.com localhost 127.0.0.1 xx.xx.xx.xx;
#where xx.xx.xx.xx is the local IP
        access_log off;
        location / {
            #local
            allow 127.0.0.1;
            #office router
            allow xx.xx.xx.xx;
            #protect
            deny all;
        }
    }

#real server(s)
   server {
      access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
      listen 80;
      server_name .domain.com; #matches www.domain.com and domain.com
     location / {
        #[..snip..]
     }
   }
