Nam O Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at what's on the cards for Nam O Point over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I've gotta be straight with you – the opening of this outlook is a tough one. We're staring down the barrel of a real flat spell. From Tuesday the 11th right through until about Saturday the 22nd of August, there's basically nothing doing. That's a solid ten-day gap with hardly a wave worth paddling for. It's one of those stretches where the ocean just seems to be taking a nap.

The water temp at the start is sitting at a very warm 86°F, which is pretty much bang on for this time of year, so at least the swim will be nice.

Looking at the first spot of actual action, we see a bit of life arriving on the morning of Sunday the 23rd. The swell direction swings around to a clean NW, with some 1ft waves pushing in. The wind is a solid offshore from the WSW at 6 mph, which is perfect for keeping the surface clean. The combined energy is still pretty weak though, only registering (19). This is really one for the longboard or a bigger fish – just a gentle little pulse to get the fins wet.

That little pulse holds into the afternoon of the 23rd and through Monday the 24th, with similar small but clean conditions. The best of the whole run, and I mean the *only* real standout, looks to be Tuesday the 25th of August. We get a bit more push with 2ft waves from the southeast, and a clean offshore wind from the WSW at 6 mph all day. The combined energy bumps up to (36) – still modest, but it's the most momentum we see in the whole forecast. The morning session will be your best bet for a clean, small wave.

So, to sum it up: a long dry spell, then a tiny window of clean, rideable small waves around the 23rd and 25th. Don't expect any barrels, just some gentle, clean lines for a quiet, uncrowded paddle. It's one of those periods where the forecast could change, but right now, it's a patience game.

Rusty.
