The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty comin’ at ya from the beach. Let’s get straight into it, yeah? Gotta be honest with you—this 16-day stretch for Nam O Point is a pretty flat one. For the next week and a half, we’re lookin’ at a whole lot of nothin’. The first real surf worth paddlin’ out for doesn’t even show up until Tuesday, September 1st, and even then, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. There’s a massive gap of nothing from now through the end of August, with wave heights barely showin’ 0.3 ft or 0.7 ft on Saturday and Sunday. It’s gonna be a wait-and-see game.
Alright, now for the only real standout in the whole 16-day window—Tuesday, September 1st. We’ve got a bit of a pulse comin’ in. The morning starts with a chest-high 6 ft swell out of the NNW, churning with moderate wave energy (475). That’s the biggest and most energetic swell in the whole forecast. Perfect for the more experienced crew, cause for the beginners, that’s a little pushy. There’s a light breeze from the WNW, so the surface stays pretty clean, which is a nice bonus. The afternoon hangs in there with a solid 6 ft from the same direction, though the periods drop a bit and the breeze picks up to a moderate 12 mph cross-off. It’s still surfable, and the wave energy is still decent (348). This is the best shot you’ll get, but remember, it’s a bit of a long-range call, so don’t lock in plans just yet.
After that little spike, it’s back to a long, dry run. From Wednesday, September 2nd, through to the 13th, it’s pretty grim. A bit of waist-high slop on Wednesday afternoon (4 ft from the N) is about as good as it gets, with light winds keepin’ it clean but the energy just isn’t there. The rest of that week and into the next is mostly knee-high dribble with weak, short-period windswell under 3 ft and cross-onshore breezes makin’ it choppy. The clear skies will be nice for sunbakin’, but not for surfin’. The water temp is about average for this time of year—nothin’ unusual to mention.
Overall, if you got a board, leave it in the car until the 1st of September. That Tuesday morning is the one window with any real promise, but even then, it’s not a classic. For now, it’s a flat spell. The forecasts can always change, though. Keep your eyes peeled.
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.
