The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's cookin' at Nam O Point.
First off, the water temp is sitting at 86°, which is about 0.9° above the norm for this time of year. Nothing wild, just your standard warm tropical bath. We’ve got a bit of a slow burn for the first week, with a couple of scrappy sessions hiding in there if you’re hurting for a paddle.
The pattern starts up on Saturday the 12th. It’s a risk t-storm afternoon, with a 5ft swell from the ENE, but that cross-on wind from the NNE is just chopping it up. Poor conditions. The combined energy reading is moderate at (623), but the wind kills it.
Sunday the 13th is pretty grim too. Winds are slightly better but still cross or cross-on, with swell around 4ft to 5ft from the NE. It’s not big, but it’s not clean.
Monday the 14th is where we get a real tease. First thing in the morning, we've got a glassy 3ft from the ENE. It’s small, sure, but winds are dead calm and the energy is still readable at (134). This is the best of the early week, but the afternoon falls apart.
The rest of the week into the 19th is just a mash of risk t-storms and poor to ordinary conditions. Swells stay small, often with onshore or cross-onshore winds. If you're a kite surfer, the combined moderate energy (between 100 and 169) and consistent onshore wind might catch your eye, but for a paddle surfer, it’s mostly a write-off.
Then, a glimmer of hope shows up on Monday the 21st of September. The morning is still messy, but Monday afternoon brings a shift. We’ve got a 2ft swell from the ENE, but now a light cross-offshore wind from the NW. The period suddenly jumps to a very long 18 seconds. This is a proper groundswell pulse, and with clean conditions, Nam O Point could offer a well-shaped, if small, wave. The energy is moderate (340). This is your standout for the run.
Tuesday the 22nd holds some of that long-period energy (15–16 seconds) but the wind swings back to cross and cross-on, making it more marginal.
After that, the session fades. From Wednesday the 23rd onward, we get a mix of glassy mornings with tiny swell (2ft to 3ft) and more onshore slop in the afternoons. There’s no real juice left in the tank for the rest of the window.
If you’re chasing a wave, keep your eyes peeled for that Monday the 21st afternoon session at Nam O Point. It’s the only time the stars align for a clean, long-period wave. Other than that, it’s a lot of sitting and waiting.
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.
