The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: this 16-day window is a tough one for the Big Island’s Nam O Point. The forecast is a long stretch of nothing worth paddling out for, with no real swell to speak of. The water temp is sitting around 87°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing of note.
From Monday the 13th through to Sunday the 26th of July, it’s a drought of proper surf. The swell heights barely scrape 1.0 ft and the combined energy tops out at a weak 33 (in brackets) on the 21st, but that’s still tiny. Periods are mostly short, around 5 to 7 seconds, so there’s no power or shape. The wind is often offshore or glassy, which is a tease—clean conditions, but nothing to ride. The first few days are glassy and pretty, but you’d be sitting on a flat ocean. By the 21st, Tuesday afternoon, there’s a slight bump to 2 ft from the NW with a 6-second period, but it’s still poor. The whole run is labelled “poor surf conditions” for every single entry.
The last few days of the month, from the 25th to the 28th, are even smaller, with 0.3 ft to 0.7 ft and weak energy (4 to 7). The wind is glassy or light offshore, but again, it’s a flat spell. There’s no standout day, no proper swell, and no reason to get excited. For a spot that’s consistent, this is a real quiet patch. It won’t stay this way forever, forecasts can change, but right now, leave the board at home.
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.
