The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it for Namotu Lefts. We've got a solid 16-day window ahead, but it's a real slow starter. The first few days are a write-off, so don't rush down just yet. The water is running about average for this time of year, nothing wild there.
The opening days from Monday the 31st through to Tuesday the 1st are a total bust. Poor surf conditions with fresh cross-shore winds and lumpy, choppy seas. Swell is small and weak, with energy readings around 400 to 550 (moderate). Not even worth a paddle.
Wednesday the 2nd finally shows a flicker of life. The swell jumps up to 6 ft from the SSW with a solid 16-second period, and the energy spikes to 1970 (strong). The morning has clean conditions thanks to a light cross-offshore breeze, but the overall forecast is only marginal. It's not the best, but it's the first real sign of something. By Thursday the 3rd, the swell holds around 7 ft with a 15-second period, but the wind swings around and gets messy. The morning is the cleaner window with a light cross-shore breeze, but it's still just a marginal option.
The real standout of the whole run is shaping up for Monday the 7th. The morning session is looking excellent for experienced surfers. We've got a clean 6 ft SSW swell with a long 16-second period, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the ESE. Energy is strong at 1522. This is a proper groundswell, and Namotu Lefts is a reef that will handle that long period just fine. This is where you want to be.
The following days have some highlights too. Tuesday the 8th afternoon is another clean one, with 4 ft and a 16-second period, and the energy is up at 1012. Wednesday the 9th is a big one, with the swell peaking at 8 ft in the morning and 7 ft in the afternoon. The afternoon is clean with a slight air, but at that size, it's definitely for experienced surfers only. The 14th of September is also looking promising with a big 7 ft SSW swell and strong energy readings over 3300, but the wind is just light cross-shore, so it's not peak clean.
Overall, the first week is a struggle, but the second week has some real potential. The clear winner is Monday the 7th morning. Don't sleep on the clean windows on the 8th afternoon and 9th afternoon either, but be ready for the size.
Rusty.

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Namotu Lefts 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.
