The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for this stretch.
All the action is focused on one spot: Namotu Lefts. It’s a reef break, fairly consistent, and it’s where the juice is. The water is about 78°F, which is normal for this time of year, so nothing to complain about.
We’ve got a quiet start. The first decent surf shows up on Monday, September 7th. The morning is the call. Glassy conditions with a barely-there ENE breeze at 3 mph, and a clean 5ft SSW swell. The period is a long 16 seconds, giving it real groundswell punch. The combined wave energy is at 1403, which is moderate to strong. This is for experienced surfers only—once it’s over 5ft here, it’s no joke.
Tuesday, September 8th morning is another top-shelf session. A 5ft SSW swell at 17 seconds, with a light 6 mph ESE cross-offshore wind. The energy is 1351, and the waves are going to be clean and lined up on the reef.
The surf holds up fairly well through the week, but nothing matches those first two mornings. Around Monday, September 14th, the swell jumps back up—7ft to 8ft from the SSW—but the wind picks up to 19 mph from the ESE. The mornings are cross-offshore, so it’s workable, but this is for the hardcore crew only. The 8ft sets on Tuesday, September 15th morning are massive, with energy at 3628, but the 16 mph wind will keep you honest.
Wednesday, September 16th morning is the last really good window. The swell drops to a more manageable 6ft from the SSW, the wind is a light 6 mph cross-off from the ESE, and the energy is still a solid 1513. Expect excellent shape and power for the experienced surfer.
The period ends with a beast. Monday, September 21st morning brings a huge 8ft SSW swell with a 16-second period and the highest energy reading of the whole outlook at 6764. But with a light onshore wind, it’s going to be messy and challenging. Experts only.
There’s a rough patch from September 12th through the 14th where the wind makes a mess of things, and the final days from September 19th are mostly blown out by strong winds.
The clear winners: Monday, September 7th morning, and Tuesday, September 8th morning. Don’t miss them.
Rusty.

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.
