The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here.
Look, I gotta be straight with ya—this is a grim stretch for Nam O Point. We’re looking at a solid 9-day dry spell right off the bat, from now right through to the morning of Saturday the 22nd of August. The swell just isn’t there, and when it does show up, the quality’s ordinary at best.
Let’s start with that first real glimmer of hope. On Saturday the 22nd of August, things start waking up. Sunday morning the 23rd still has a clean 1ft NE swell with offshore wind, but it’s pretty gutless. The real action—if you can call it that—kicks in on Monday the 25th of August. Tuesday morning the 25th has a glassy 1ft ENE swell at 18 seconds—long period groundswell. The combined swell energy hits 133, so moderate energy. That long period means better shape, longer lulls between sets, and it’ll hold up nicely at a jetty setup like Nam O. The wind is glassy, so it’ll be clean. Not big, but for this stretch, it’s the closest we get to a standout.
Wednesday the 26th of August builds on that. Morning brings a glassy 2ft ENE swell at 16 seconds, combined energy of 197. Again, moderate energy, but the period’s still long. Calm wind, glassy conditions. That’s as good as it’ll get in this 16-day window.
The water temp is about 86°, which is bang on the long-term average for this time of year.
Look, the swell direction (ENE) doesn’t match the optimum NE direction for Nam O Point, and the swells are small—nothing over 2ft. It’s not gonna be a classic day. But for a break that’s exposed and consistent, and given how hopeless the rest of the period is, Tuesday morning the 25th and Wednesday morning the 26th are your only real chances. Crowds are possible here, so expect some company.
For the rest of the window, it’s flat or polluted by onshore wind. Light winds and small, weak swell. Not worth paddling out for. Hang in there—forecasts can change.
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.
