We report on susceptibility, magnetization, ²³Na NMR, and specific heat data of the spin-chain material NaCu₂O₂ in the paramagnetic and ordered phases. Below 13 K, where a sharp field-dependent specific heat peak appears, the NMR lineshape points to an incommensurate static modulation of the local magnetic field consistent with a spiral arrangement of the Cu magnetic moments. At 2 K weak ferromagnetism with a small ordered moment of about 4· 10⁻³µ_B has been observed. LDA based estimates of exchange integrals reveal a large inchain frustration leading to a magnetic spiral.
