The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on the menu for Nam O Point over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, it's a tough stretch. The forecast is basically a long, flat spell. We're looking at a solid gap of about two weeks where there's just nothing worth paddling out for. The first recommendation we get isn't until the very end of the outlook, so you'll be waiting a while.
The only glimmer of light comes right at the end, on Saturday the 29th of August. For the morning, we've got a tiny 1ft swell pushing in from the ENE, but it's pretty weak with a combined energy of just 39. The period is a middling 12 seconds, so it's got a bit of groundswell feel to it. It's a bit of a shame the wind is light onshore from the NE, so the surface won't be perfect. The afternoon sees the swell bump up to 2ft from the same ENE direction, with a period dropping to 9 seconds. The energy picks up to 74, but it's still a long way from anything punchy. That cross-onshore from the East will keep things a little lumpy. It's not a total washout, but it's a very small wave for a beginner-friendly spot like Nam O Point. The water temperature is around 86.7°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, but you won't be needing a steamer. Honestly, if you're desperate for a splash, the 2ft on the afternoon of the 29th is your best bet, but keep your expectations on the floor.

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.
