The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Nam O Point. Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead. We’ve got a solid gap of nearly nothing worth paddling out for right through the first week and a bit. The first hint of anything that might get you excited doesn’t show up until Saturday the 13th, and even then, it’s touch and go. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
The best of the best, the only real standout in this whole 16-day window, is the Sunday afternoon session on the 13th of September. That’s your go. You’ve got a 4ft ENE swell rolling in, and the wind goes cross-off from the NW at 9 mph. That’ll keep the surface clean. The combined energy is sitting at 261 – that’s moderate power, enough to feel it under your chest. The period is 8 seconds, so it’s a bit of a short-period wind swell, not gonna be the most spectacular shape, but it’s the best you’re gonna get. Crowds are possible here sometimes, so don’t expect to have it all to yourself.
The Monday morning on the 14th is worth a mention too – 4ft, cross-off wind, clean conditions. But it’s a marginal call on the tide, so you’ll want to time it right. The combined energy is 265, so similar power to the Sunday. Just be aware that the afternoon gets wrecked by a 16 mph cross-shore, so get your session in early.
Everything before that is a write-off. Tiny waves, messy wind, or just flat. The 12th of September shows a jump in size with 5ft, but the wind is cross-on and choppy, so it’s more of a kite session than a surf session. The few glassy mornings we get early on have bugger-all swell – 1ft or 2ft – not worth wetting a wetsuit for.
So, in short: hold tight until the 13th, and even then, keep your expectations in check. The second week has a couple of windows, but nothing that’ll blow your mind.

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.
