The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's get straight into it.
First up, we're looking at a pretty flat spell ahead. The first solid action isn't until the second week of August, so we've got a solid week of tiny, weak waves or just flatness to sit through. The water here is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 87°, which is a nice bonus for the wait.
The first real chance to get the board wet comes on Wednesday, August 5th. The swell energy is moderate (177) but it's a long-period groundswell from the ENE, 18 seconds. That's straight into a beach/jetty spot like Nam O Point, so it might break a bit too straight, but the morning has clean conditions with offshore wind. It's surfable, but nothing to write home about.
The standout is, without a doubt, Friday, August 7th. The morning is firing with a solid 4ft groundswell from the ENE at 18 seconds, and the energy is very strong (1140). The wind is light offshore, so conditions will be clean. This is a very serious swell for this break, and it's only for experienced surfers. The afternoon is also glassy and still holding that 4ft (1069). That's the best on offer. Saturday, August 8th, is still very good, with a 3ft swell and offshore wind, but it’s a step down from Friday's peak.
After that, it drops off sharply. The surf gets small and weak again from Sunday, August 9th, through the rest of the run. There are some clean, glassy mornings with offshore winds, but the swell is tiny (0.7ft to 2ft) and the energy is weak. It's a long wait for that one big day.
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.
