The Lowdown
Right, folks, it's Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Nam O Point.
To be honest with you, we're in for a pretty lean period. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a mixed bag, with a good run from Wednesday the 6th through to Saturday the 9th looking like the only real show in town. Before that, from now (Monday the 3rd) through to Tuesday the 5th, it’s flat or close to it—tiny 0.7ft to 1ft waves with next to no energy (combined energy of all swells directed here a paltry 3-192). You'd be wasting your time.
The water’s sitting at 87°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing to worry about on that front.
Our standout window kicks off on Thursday morning, the 6th of August. We’ve got a 3ft groundswell from the ENE with a very long period of 18 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (384). It’s glassy in the morning, which is a major win for clean conditions. Thursday afternoon gets a bit ugly with onshore wind, so aim for the dawn patrol.
Friday the 7th is where it really gets good. We've got 4ft of ENE swell, still that very long 18-second period, and the combined energy is strong at 918. The wind is light offshore or glassy all day. This is the pick of the bunch – expect very good, clean surf. This swell is long-period though, so at a beach/jetty setup like Nam O Point, it might break a bit straight, but with that energy and those conditions, it’ll be well worth it. Crowds are a possibility sometimes, but on a Friday you might get lucky.
Saturday the 8th is also a cracker. Still 4-4ft of ENE swell, combined energy still very strong (701-890), and glassy conditions on Saturday afternoon. Another top day. After that, it drops off a cliff. From Sunday the 9th onwards, it’s back to tiny, weak waves (combined energy of all swells directed here less than 66) and poor surf conditions all the way until the 18th. There's a solid week and a half of nothing to get excited about after that Saturday.
So, in summary: don't bother until Thursday the 6th at the earliest. Friday the 7th and Saturday the 8th of August are your best bets. The rest of the outlook is a write-off.
Rusty.

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.
