The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a flat spell. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak waves, and it’s going to be a real challenge to find a decent wave. The first recommendation doesn’t show up until Sunday afternoon, the 9th of August, and even then, it’s barely a ripple.
We start off at Nam O Point. Sunday afternoon the 9th gives us a tiny 1 ft swell from the ENE. The period is a long 13 seconds, which is nice for a groundswell, but with that combined energy sitting at just 48 (weak), it’s pretty gutless. The water is a warm 86°F, which is about average for the time of year. The wind is a light offshore from the WSW, keeping it clean, but with so little power, it’s going to be a real struggle to get a ride. It’s a consistent spot, but this swell is just too small to do anything with.
The rest of the first week is a write-off. We’re looking at tiny 1 ft to 2 ft swells right through to Saturday the 15th. The wind does offer some glassy mornings, particularly on Tuesday the 11th, Thursday the 13th, and Friday the 14th, but the energy is so low (combined energy never gets above 40) it’s just not worth paddling out. You’ll get more exercise sitting on your board than actually surfing.
Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th are no better, with the swell dropping to 1 ft and the wind turning cross-onshore, adding some chop to the nothingness. The combined energy plummets to single digits for most of the second week. It’s a grim run.
Looking at the second week, from the 17th of August onwards, it’s more of the same. Tiny 1 ft swells, with a few glassy mornings, like Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th. There’s a slight pick-up on the 23rd of August, with a 2 ft NW swell and glassy conditions on Sunday afternoon, but at a short period of 5 seconds, it’s not going to have any shape. The combined energy is still a low 17.
Honestly, for the whole 16-day window, there are no standouts. No one day is better than the next. It’s flat. If you absolutely have to get wet, your best bet is one of those glassy mornings with the tiniest bit of ENE swell, like Thursday the 13th or Friday the 14th, but you’ll be on a longboard and working for every single wave. The setup looks more interesting for a paddleboard than a surfboard right now.
Rusty.

Information about the Nam O Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Nam O Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Nam O Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Nam O Point surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Nam O Point) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Nam O Point may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
