Nam O Point Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Nam O Point (Vietnam).

Alright, truth be told, the next 16 days are a bit of a mixed bag – actually, mostly a flat bag for a while. We’ve got a little pulse of energy coming through for the first weekend, but then it’s a long, dry spell. The water temp is sitting at about 87°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no nasty surprises there.

The pick of the whole window is this Saturday afternoon, July 11th. We’re looking at a clean 3 ft of swell out of the ENE, with a decent 16-second period. That’s proper groundswell energy, and it’s packing a moderate punch (447). The wind is a light cross-off from the SSW, keeping things tidy. This is a beginner-friendly break, and with crowds listed as “sometimes”, you might actually get a few waves to yourself. It’s a small, clean wave, but it’s surfable.

Sunday morning, July 12th, is even a touch better. The swell ticks up to 4 ft from the same ENE direction, with a 15-second period and even more energy (530). The wind is straight offshore from the SW, so it’ll be smooth. That’s probably the best quality of the whole run – a proper little clean window.

After that, things drop off a cliff. From Sunday afternoon onward, the swell fades fast. We’re talking tiny, weak waves – all under 2 ft with poor energy readings (mostly under 50). The wind stays light and often offshore, which is cruel because there’s just nothing to ride. This flat spell looks like it’ll run from Monday, July 13th, right through to the end of the forecast on July 26th. There’s a little blip around July 18th-19th with some 2-2 ft NW windswell, but it’s short-period (6-7 seconds) and the energy is still weak (under 50). It’s not worth paddling out for.

So, to sum it up: your only real window is this weekend (July 11th-12th). Saturday afternoon is a go, Sunday morning is the standout. After that, it’s a long, dry two weeks. Don’t hold your breath.

Rusty.
