The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what we’ve got coming up at Nam O Point. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, so don’t expect a non-stop party, but there are a couple of windows that’ll get the blood pumping.
We’re kicking off with a pretty flat spell. The water temp is sitting at a warm 87°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so the boardies are on.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Wednesday, August 26th. We wake up to some clouds and dead glassy conditions with a light Westerly breeze at 3 mph. It’s offshore for the break. A tiny 2ft swell from the ENE is rolling in, but get this – the period is a massive 19 seconds. That’s a pure groundswell. The combined energy is moderate (309), and that long period means the waves will have proper shape and power for a beach/jetty setup. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, so the 2ft size is perfect, and the glass makes it as clean as it gets. Thursday morning, August 27th, is similar with 2ft from the ENE and clean cross-off winds. These two mornings are your best bets.
Things go quiet again through the end of August and the first day of September. There’s a bit of a pulse building for Tuesday, September 2nd. The morning will see a light offshore wind from the WSW at 3 mph with a clean 5ft swell from the NNW. The energy is strong (351). By the afternoon, it goes glassy with a 5ft swell from the same direction, energy still solid at 226. That’s the biggest wave of the whole forecast, and with glass, it’ll be punchy. It’s still manageable for most surfers, but anything around that height is pushing it for total beginners.
After that, it’s a long, slow fade into small, weak surf and cross-shore winds through the second week. From September 4th onward, the swells drop under 2ft, periods are short, and the energy is weak. The standout is clear: Wednesday morning, August 26th, and Tuesday afternoon, September 2nd. The long-period glassy morning is a special treat, and the bigger, punchy afternoon later on is worth circling on the calendar.
Keep an eye on the forecast, but for now, those are your windows.
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.

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.
