The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – this outlook is a bit of a tough one. We’re looking at a long, dry spell for Nam O Point. The first real chance of anything resembling a surf doesn’t show up until the morning of the 28th of July, and even then, it’s a real struggle. That’s a solid week of flat to tiny, poor conditions from the 20th of July right through to the 27th.
The combined swell energy is very weak, barely ticking over at single-digit and low double-digit numbers (between 4 and 22) for that whole first week, with waves under 1 ft and short, choppy periods. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, with a few glassy mornings that just don’t have any push behind them. The 24th, 25th, 26th, and 27th of July offer some glassy moments, but the swell is basically non-existent.
Finally, on the morning of Tuesday the 28th of July, we get a tiny pulse. The swell picks up to 2 ft from the ENE with an 11-second period – that’s a long-period groundswell, which is good for shape, but at this size it’s barely a ripple. The combined energy is still weak (68), but there’s glassy conditions. The report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” which is about as optimistic as it gets. The water temp is a warm 86°F, which is pretty normal for the time of year, not really any anomaly to speak of.
The Wednesday morning of the 29th of July is a carbon copy: 2 ft, ENE, 10-second period, glassy winds, and weak energy (56). Again, just “surfable.” After that, it drops back into the doldrums for the rest of the period into early August, with tiny waves, poor conditions, and nothing worth getting excited about. The morning of the 1st of August sees a 0.7 ft wave with a clean offshore wind from the SW, but it’s a joke.
Honestly, there’s no standout. The best on offer is the morning of the 28th and 29th of July, but it’s a real struggle for even a longboard. The whole 16-day window is a bust.
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.
