The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s break it down.
The pattern is a solid run of SSW groundswell hitting Namotu Lefts. Water temp is about normal for the season.
Surf starts this Saturday morning, the 29th. Small at 0.8m from the SSW, 13-second period, with a light NNE cross-off breeze. Combined energy is 284. Clean, but just a warm-up.
Sunday the 30th is a dud. Wind turns onshore, no quality. Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st stay messy with building wind.
First standout is Wednesday the 2nd of September afternoon: 2.4m from the SSW, 16-second period, combined energy 2801. That’s strong. Wind is a gentle cross-shore. Expert territory – over 2.5m is only for the experienced. The direction matches the optimum SW for this reef.
Best of the trip is Thursday the 3rd of September morning. 2.1m SSW swell, 14-second period, combined energy 1826, with a light ESE cross-off breeze making it clean. Crowds are rare. That’s the one.
Friday the 4th morning is nearly as good: 1.9m, 14-second period, glassy with ESE winds. Combined energy 1563. Clean and powerful.
After that, Saturday the 5th is fun at 1.4m with clean conditions, energy 883. Sunday the 6th morning bumps back up: 1.4m, 16-second period, combined energy 1098, light cross-off.
Second week: Tuesday the 8th morning has 1.7m, 15-second period, 1384 energy, but light cross-shore wind. Wednesday the 9th morning is cleaner at 1.3m, 16-second period, 881 energy, light cross-off.
Thursday the 10th fades to 0.8m, glassy, but small. Saturday the 12th morning sees 1.0m, clean. Sunday the 13th morning looks promising: 2.2m, 13-second period, combined energy 1758, gentle cross-shore. Expert stuff, further out.
True standouts: Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th of September mornings. Big, clean SSW groundswell at Namotu Lefts, light offshores or glassy. Don’t miss it.
Rusty.

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.
