The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checkin’ the charts for Nam O Point. We’re in for a long dry spell, so don’t get your hopes up too early.
For the first week and a half, it’s flat. We’re talking tiny ankle-biters, 0.3ft to 1ft, with weak energy numbers like 7 to 24. There are some clean, glassy mornings and a few offshore puffs, but with no size, it’s just a float. From Monday, August 17th, all the way through Thursday, August 27th, it’s a real slow grind. A few mornings look pretty, but the ocean is asleep.
Come Friday, August 28th, we finally see a pulse of long-period groundswell from the ENE, with a period of 19 seconds. The swell is still small, 0.7ft to 1.0ft, but the energy climbs to 58-67. Winds are light and glassy, so it’ll be clean as a whistle, but you’ll be working for scraps.
The only real highlight, and the time to paddle out, is Sunday, August 30th, and Monday, August 31st. We’ve got a 2ft to 3ft swell from the ENE, with a solid 15-17 second period. The energy jumps to 212-333, which is moderate and feels like a proper wave. Winds are cross-off from the NW, keeping the surface smooth. The water is warm, about 87°F, which is average for this time of year. This is the best window—small but clean, and with some punch. Crowds can pop up sometimes, but for these conditions, it’s worth the trip.
After that, Tuesday, September 1st, looks windier and smaller again. So, aim for the end of August if you want the only decent surf of the forecast.
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.
