The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, breakin' it down for you in feet and miles per hour.
Namotu Lefts is lookin' like a tale of two weeks. The first few days are blown out with strong cross-shore wind, but hang tight. The real winner is Thursday the 30th of July afternoon. The wind goes glassy, and you’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the SSE with a 12-second period. The combined energy is 978 (moderate to strong). That’s the kind of session you carve into your memory.
Another big one is Thursday the 6th of August. That afternoon is glassy again, with a 4ft SSE swell and a 15-second period. The energy is 1197 (moderate to strong), and conditions are dialed for experienced surfers. Then Friday the 7th of August afternoon steps it up to 5ft from the SSE with a very long 19-second period and energy at 2144 (strong). That’s a lot of water moving – experts only, as it’s well over the 5ft mark. The wind is clean cross-off, so expect some beautiful lines.
The swell direction is from the SSW to SSE, which is right in the sweet spot for this reef. Water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird going on.
The first week has some smaller clean days, like Friday the 31st of July and Saturday the 1st of August, but those are only 2ft to 3ft. The real muscle is in the second week, especially the 6th and 7th. That’s a long-range call, so it’s promising but not a lock yet.
After the 7th, the swell fades and the wind turns onshore. By the 12th and 13th of August, it’s tiny and choppy. Not worth the paddle.
Rusty out.

Information about the Namotu Lefts Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Namotu Lefts provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Namotu Lefts can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Namotu Lefts 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 (Namotu Lefts) 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 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. 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.
