Table - best surf conditions forecast for Namotu Lefts over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
Starting Tuesday morning, the 15th of September, Namotu Lefts gets a 8ft SSW groundswell with a 17-second period and a light east cross-off breeze. That’s some serious power – the combined energy is 3701 – real strong stuff. This is for experienced surfers only; anything over 8ft on a reef gets heavy. The sets will be powerful and the long period means it’ll suck hard on the reef.
Thursday morning, the 17th, is the real sweet spot. Swell drops to 4ft from the SSW, still a nice 14-second period, and the wind goes light offshore from the ENE. Clean conditions, moderate energy at 718, and a much friendlier size for intermediates. This is the best all-round day of the whole forecast.
The weekend, 19th and 20th September, gets blown out with fresh cross-onshore winds and lumpy conditions. Swell builds but the wind ruins it. A few days around the 22nd and 23rd have 7ft to 7ft SSW swell with moderate cross-shore winds – surfable but not clean.
Late in the run, Tuesday the 29th of September, we get a glass-off. Light east wind, 2ft SW swell with a very long 21-second period. Energy is moderate at 998, but that period will produce lined-up, peeling waves on the reef. Small but glassy and fun for intermediates.
Wednesday the 30th morning: 5ft SSW groundswell, 18-second period, light cross-off breeze, clean. Combined energy at 1541 – good push for experienced surfers.
Best bets: Thursday the 17th morning for the best combo of size and clean conditions, and Tuesday the 29th afternoon for a glassy, long-period treat. The rest is either too windy or too messy.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
