The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's get into it.
First up, we gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is a total write-off at Nam O Point. We're looking at a solid 10 days of flat, gutless junk. Swells are tiny, barely pushing 1ft, with periods so short you'd be better off taking up bodysurfing. The first real sign of life doesn't show up until Sunday, July 26th, but even then, it's a tease. A couple of afternoons show a little pulse, but the waves are still small and weak.
The real story starts to unfold on the morning of Monday, July 27th. We finally get a pulse of proper energy. The swell is coming from the NE at 3ft with an 11-second period, and the combined energy is a solid 242 (moderate). Add to that a glassy, offshore wind from the WSW and you've got clean, workable lines. The water temp is sitting right around 86°F, which is pretty average for this time of year, so no need for a spring suit.
Keep your eyes on the prize for August 4th and 5th. Tuesday morning, August 4th, we see a long-period groundswell from the ENE at 2ft, but with a 19-second period and a combined energy of 209 (moderate). The wind is light and glassy from the W. Then Wednesday morning, August 5th, looks even better: 3ft of ENE swell, a 16-second period, and the combined energy jumping to 385 (moderate-strong). Wind is glassy from the NNW. This is the standout window. The long period means proper, powerful waves, but it also means it'll be a bit straight at a beach/jetty setup like Nam O Point. You'll want to pick your takeoff spot carefully. The afternoon on the 5th gets a bit onshore, so the morning is your window.
For the rest of the forecast, it's back to tiny dribble. The 4th and 5th are the only real chances to get wet, so mark your calendar.
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.
Nam O Point is 14 km (9 miles) from Da Nang. If you plan a holiday in Da Nang, look for hotels and other accommodation in Da Nang. Da Nang has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
