The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s a clear window to get excited about early on, then we go quiet for a long stretch.
The week kicks off with a pulse of proper long-period groundswell rolling in from the ENE. It’s not huge, but there’s decent energy in the water. We’re looking at a building trend from Wednesday through to Saturday. The standout will be Friday the 7th. That’s the day to clear your schedule. We’ve got the swell holding around 3.6ft with that long 18-second period, and it’s glassy, especially in the afternoon. The water is a warm 86.9°F, which is a touch above average for this time of year, so it’s comfortable out there. Early in this run, the morning of Thursday the 6th is looking clean too, with 2.6ft of that same long-period swell. It’s not as powerful, but still a good one. This long period stuff at a beach/jetty like Nam-O-Point might get a bit straight, but the conditions are so good it should be plenty of fun.
But then things flatten out in a hurry. From Sunday the 9th onward, we’re looking at a serious drop-off. The swell becomes weak and short-period, the energy just dies, and we’re left with dribbly leftovers that aren't worth your time. You’ll see poor, surfable-at-best conditions for days on end. It’s a proper dry spell that looks like it’ll last until around the 20th.
There is a glimmer of something on the morning of Thursday the 20th, with a sudden jump to 4.3ft, but the period is short and it's all over by the afternoon. It’s a tease more than anything, and we should treat it as a promising but very uncertain possibility for the back half of the forecast window. Strap in, get your fix early, and enjoy the glassy goodness while it lasts.
That’s it from me. Get some this weekend.

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.
