The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let's get stuck into this 16-day window for Nam O Point. It's a beach and jetty setup that's a consistent beginner spot, exposed to the swell. The water temp is sitting at about 86°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, nothing wild happening there.
Right off the bat, we've got a quiet start. From Monday the 7th right through to the 11th, it's a total write-off. We're looking at tiny, poor surf conditions with barely any energy, so you're better off leaving the board in the car. That's a solid five-day gap of nothing.
Then we roll into the weekend. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th are a bit more interesting. The swell bumps up to the 4ft to 6ft range from the ENE, but the period is short, around 6 to 9 seconds, so it's gonna be a bit weak and messy. The winds are mostly cross-shore or cross-off, so it won't be perfect, but the combined energy starts to climb (469 and 386), making it look a bit more fun than the week prior. It's still "marginal" though, so keep your expectations in check.
Now, here's where it gets good. The real standout is Wednesday the 16th. We've got a solid 7ft to 7ft groundswell from the ENE with a long period of 13 seconds. This is a proper swell with some real push, bringing a massive 1731 and 1648 in combined energy. The winds are light and cross-offshore, so expect clean, lined-up waves. This is expert territory though; at over 7ft, it's going to be too big and powerful for the beginners. If you've got the skill, this is your day.
Thursday the 17th is a nice follow-up, a bit smaller at 4ft to 4ft from the NE, still with a decent 12-second period. The wind goes glassy in the afternoon and offshore in the morning, so conditions should be clean and fun for a wider range of surfers.
After that, it fades out again. From Friday the 18th right through to the end of the forecast on Tuesday the 22nd, it's back to tiny surf and poor conditions. The energy drops right off, and you're looking at ankle-snappers again.
So to wrap it up: a long dry spell, then a marginal weekend, a killer Wednesday for the experienced crew, and then a return to flatness. That Wednesday the 16th is the one to circle on the calendar.
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.
