The Lowdown
Alright, ya bunch of wave-starved watermen and women, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Nam O Point has in store for ya over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s looking grim for a while. From now until about the 26th of August, this spot is dead flat. We’re talking about ankle-biters and knee-slappers for days. The combined swell energy is in the single digits or low teens (7 to 14), which is just pathetic. You could surf that on a foamie standing up. Save your wax.
Things finally start to change around Wednesday, the 26th of August. A tiny but clean groundswell from the ENE starts to push in, with a period stretching from 17 to 19 seconds. That’s proper, long-period groundswell, but the wave height is only 0.7ft to 1.0ft. The combined energy gets into the moderate range (62 to 110), and winds are light and cross-offshore, so the water will be clean. It’s not going to blow your mind, but for the die-hards, it’s a sign of life.
The real highlight, the one you want to mark on your calendar, is Saturday morning, the 29th of August. We’ve got a clean 2ft swell from the ENE, with a period of 15 seconds. The combined energy is sitting at a decent 201 (moderate). With a light offshore wind from the WSW at 6 mph, the conditions will be smooth and lined up. That’s as good as it gets in this forecast period. Water temp is about 87°, a touch warmer than average, so you’ll be fine in trunks.
Sunday the 30th morning is also glassy with a 1ft swell, but the energy level is lower. Still, a glassy morning on a tiny groundswell beats a day at work.
So, a long flat spell followed by a promising little pulse. If you’re keen, be ready for that Saturday the 29th.
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.
