The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next 16 days for Nam O Point. Gotta be straight with you—it’s a quiet stretch. The first solid recommendation doesn’t show up until Wednesday the 26th of August, meaning we’ve got a dead run of about 5 days with nothing worth paddling out for. The pattern is a slow build, but it’s mostly small and weak.
The water here is sitting at a warm 87°, which is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The standout in this whole window is Wednesday the 26th. From the morning through the afternoon, we’ve got a moderate pulse of energy with a combined swell energy reading of 304 (moderate) building to 374 (moderate). The swell is coming from the ENE at 2ft to 3ft, with a long period of 18 to 19 seconds. That’s proper groundswell territory. With a long period over 15 seconds, this swell will have shape and power, but at a beach/jetty setup like Nam O Point, it might break a little too straight. Still, with light offshore winds from the W and WNW, the conditions will be clean. Thursday the 27th morning holds on with a similar 2ft ENE swell (15-second period, 208 energy), but it’s a cross-offshore wind, so still tidy. The first couple of days of September show a small bump in energy (around 123 to 135, moderate) with 1ft ENE swell, but the wind is favorable—light offshore or glassy—so it’ll be clean but small.
Crowds? At Nam O Point, crowds are sometimes an issue, so keep that in mind if you’re heading out on the better days.
Overall, the best bet is Wednesday the 26th of August with the clean, long-period ENE groundswell. It’s not huge, but the quality should be there. Everything else is either close to flat or very ordinary.

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.
