The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board and listen up, it’s Rusty here. We’ve got one spot on the menu for the next couple of weeks, and it’s a classic reef setup that’s going to have some serious moments.
We’re looking at Namotu Lefts. The overall pattern is for a solid, long-period groundswell from the SSW to hang around for most of the period. The energy is pumped, with readings that start off strong and get absolutely massive. The water temp is sitting at 78°, which is about normal for this time of year, so no shock to the system.
Alright, let’s get into it. The best of the early action is Monday, September 7th. Monday morning, the swell is a clean 5ft from the SSW, with a super long 16-second period. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the east, and the combined energy is a meaty 1410. That’s proper wave energy. The conditions are clean, and it’s prime for experienced surfers. This is a true standout.
That afternoon, the wind swings onshore from the SW, making it a bit messy. Tuesday morning the 8th sees a 5ft SSW swell, 17-second period, but the wind is cross-shore from the SE. Still rideable, but not as clean. The energy is still high at 1498. Tuesday afternoon drops off a bit.
Wednesday the 9th is a real gem. The morning is an absolute gift: 4ft of SSW swell, but the wind is glassy, dead calm from the NE. The energy is still a solid 704. It’s going to be clean and lined up. The afternoon stays clean with a cross-offshore breeze.
From Thursday the 10th through to the weekend, the wind gets a bit stronger and more cross-shore, turning the surf a bit lumpy. The swell drops a little, but the period hangs in there. Not the best quality for paddling.
Now, the next real standout comes on Wednesday, September 16th. Morning at Namotu Lefts is looking excellent. The swell is 5ft from the SSW, 15-second period, with a clean cross-offshore wind from the ESE. The energy is 1518, and it’s dialled in for experienced surfers. That’s the one to circle.
The following Monday, September 21st, also has a glassy morning with a 3ft SSW swell, but the period is a massive 20 seconds. The energy is still 1959, so it’s got plenty of punch. Tuesday the 22nd also starts glassy with a 4ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and 966 energy.
Be warned, the middle of the second week, especially around the 13th and 14th, the swell size gets over 8ft and the wind is howling. That’s expert-only territory, and it’s going to be a washing machine. With the wind and size, it’s looking more like a day for the kite crew than a paddle.
For this entire period, Namotu Lefts is your only option. The crowds are listed as rare, so you’ll have plenty of room.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
