The Lowdown
Right, listen up. This is Rusty, and I’m taking a look at the books for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty miserable start, but I’ve got some good news for the end of the first week and into the second. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing at all from now until the 5th of August – just flat, small, un-rideable slop. So, you’re looking at about five days of waiting. Don’t bother paddling out until then.
The standout run comes from the 6th of August through to the morning of the 8th. That’s where the magic is. The pick of the whole period is Nam O Point. It’s a beach/jetty setup, consistent, and it loves an east-northeast swell. The swap is that it’s a beginner-friendly spot, so when the swell gets solid, it’s actually best for more experienced surfers.
The action starts on the morning of Wednesday the 6th. The swell is already building from the ENE at 3 ft and a proper 18-second period. That’s a long period groundswell, bringing real energy. The combined energy is a solid 527 (moderate). The wind is offshore from the WSW at 6 mph, keeping it clean. By that afternoon, it gets even better: 4 ft ENE, 19 seconds, and glassy with a slight air. The energy jumps to 811. This is a very, very good session.
Then, the main event. The morning of Friday the 7th of August is the best of the lot. Swell is a solid 5 ft from the ENE, 18-second period, with offshore WSW wind at 6 mph. The combined energy rockets to 1322 (strong to very strong). This is proper, punchy, clean groundswell. The water is sitting at 87°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. This is excellent surf, but it’s for experienced surfers only. It’s too big for beginners. The break is exposed, so it’ll handle that energy. By the afternoon, it’s glassy, same size, same period, still pumping. Expect a crowd, as it’s a spot that does get busy.
The next morning, Saturday the 8th, is still very good. The swell drops to 3 ft, but it’s still clean with an offshore breeze. The crowd might be a bit heavier as the word gets out. After that, it drops off quickly into the second week, with only small, weak, and poorly shaped waves for the rest of the forecast.
So, don’t even look at the water until the 6th of August. Then, get yourself to Nam O Point for the morning of the 7th—that’s your one true standout. Just be ready for the size and the crowd.
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.
