The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. Rusty here, and I've got the lowdown on the next couple of weeks. We're looking at Nam O Point, and honestly, it's a bit of a slow burn, but there's a little glimmer of hope if you're patient.
The first week is pretty flat and quiet. From Wednesday the 19th right through to the end of the month, we're stuck with tiny, weak surf. The swell energy is barely registering, with values mostly in the single digits or low double digits (5 to 65). The combined energy of all swells directed here is weak. It's a lot of knee-high, wind-slop stuff with periods around 6 to 8 seconds, which is just poor. The water temp is sitting at 87°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
Now, the real interest starts to build around Thursday the 27th of August. A new, longer-period groundswell starts to fill in from the ENE. Thursday morning is still a bit ordinary, but by Thursday afternoon, things get interesting. We're looking at a clean 2ft swell from the ENE with a period of 16 seconds. That's a long period, which means more energy and better shaped waves. The combined energy of all swells directed here jumps to a moderate 279. The wind is light and cross-off, so the surf should be clean and have some punch. Friday the 28th of August is the standout. Morning has clean 3ft ENE swell with a 15-second period and very light offshore winds. The combined energy of all swells directed here is a strong 295. The afternoon looks even better with glassy conditions and the same solid 3ft, 16-second groundswell. This is the best on offer. For a beginner-friendly spot like Nam O Point, this is rare, clean, and fun. The crowds are sometimes here, so it might be worth getting out early.
By Saturday the 29th, the swell is already dropping back to 2ft, and the wind is getting messy, so it's back to ordinary conditions. The second week from the 30th onward is a write-off, with tiny, poor surf and a lot of onshore, cross-shore wind.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a dud, but the window from Thursday the 27th afternoon through Friday the 28th is the one to circle. Get out there if you can.
Rusty.

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.
