Nam O Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Nam O Point over the next couple of weeks.

Straight up, the outlook is a bit of a grind. We're looking at a long stretch of small, weak surf with average to poor conditions. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there.

The first real chance to get wet comes early on Tuesday, September 1st. The morning kicks off with a pulse of 6 ft swell out of the northwest, but the period is a short, weak 7 seconds. Combined energy is in the moderate range at 359, and with a light 6 mph westerly breeze, it's clean. The rating says it's good, but honestly, that short period and exposed beach/jetty setup means it won't be the best shaped wave. By the afternoon, the swell drops to 1 ft, so that window is tight.

From Wednesday, September 2nd, right through to Friday, September 11th, it's mostly a write-off. Swell heights stay below 3 ft, energy is low (mostly in the double digits), and the wind is a mess of cross-onshore and cross-shore directions. We get a few glassy mornings on the 2nd, 8th, and 9th, but with only 1 ft or 2 ft on offer, it's not really surfable. This is a solid 10-day stretch of poor conditions.

Things start to look a bit more interesting toward the end of the second week. By Saturday, September 12th, the swell jumps up to 6 ft from the northeast with a short 7-second period. The combined energy jumps to 447, which is getting into stronger territory. Problem is, the wind is a 9 mph cross-onshore, making it choppy. The height is enough for a session, but it's not clean.

The standout window, if you can call it that, is Sunday, September 13th. The morning offers 6 ft from the east-northeast, with a combined energy of 768 – that's a solid, strong pulse for this spot. The wind is a cross-shore 9 mph, so it's not perfect, but it's surfable. The period is still short at 8 seconds, so expect lumpy, dumpy beach breaks. Not one for the beginners as it's over 5 ft. By the afternoon, the wind swings cross-offshore from the northwest at 12 mph, making it clean, but the swell drops to 4 ft. Monday morning, September 14th, is still rideable with 3 ft and clean cross-offshore wind, but the energy has dropped to 155.

Overall, the best bet is that Sunday, September 13th morning session. It's the biggest, most powerful swell in the whole run, even with the imperfect wind. The rest of the period is a case of waiting for a tiny window. This spot is consistent, so it tends not to stay this flat for long, but this run is a true test of patience.

Rusty.
