The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, and I've gotta level with you. We're looking at a long, quiet stretch ahead on the Big Island. The whole 16-day window is gonna be a struggle, so let's not beat around the bush.
Honestly, it's looking bleak. The forecast is just a flat run with no real surf to get excited about. We're talking days on end of tiny, weak energy. You'll be lucky to find a ripple worth paddling for. The combined energy of all swells is rarely cracking the low double digits (under 44 for the most part), so don't expect any push. The water temp is sitting at a warm 86°F, which is bang on average for this time of year—at least you won't be cold while you're sitting there waiting for a wave that never comes.
Starting from Wednesday the 12th right through to the end of the window on the 27th of August, it's pretty much all "poor surf conditions" across the board. There's no standout day, no hidden gem. Even the glassy, offshore mornings we see are wasted on swell that's barely a wobble. Nam O Point is a consistent spot, but even consistency can't help when there's nothing to work with. The swell direction is mostly ENE or NW, but the heights are stuck between 0.3 ft and 2 ft. The period is all over the shop, from a meagre 5 seconds up to a longer 14 seconds, but with that little energy, it doesn't mean a thing. The bigger period swells would normally be best suited to a reef or point, but there's just no size.
A couple of mornings, like Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th, have clean conditions with light offshore winds, but it's for swell that's 0.7 ft to 1 ft. You might get a tiny roller on the long-period stuff on a glassy morning before the seabreeze hits, but it's a long paddle for nothing. There's a glimmer on a few afternoons late in the run, like the 21st and 22nd of August, with moderate offshore breezes (12 mph) and 1 ft swell, but it's still knee-high at best.
Forget about this being any good for paddle surfing. Honestly, if you're desperate for a session, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than someone with a shortboard. There's just no wave to ride.
Keep the faith, the ocean sometimes throws a curveball. But for now, hang the wettie up.
Rusty.

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.
