The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for Namotu Lefts.
We're staring down the barrel at a bit of a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks. The water temp is sittin' around 79°, which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year, no major surprises there.
The week ahead starts off with a bit of a hangover from a big, powerful swell, but the wind is gonna be the main issue for a few days. That big groundswell from the SSW on Sunday the 13th is pumping, with 10ft waves and a 17-second period, but a strong SE wind is gonna mess it up. The wave energy is huge though, sittin' at 5657 (combined energy). It's not gonna be pretty.
We get a bit of a breather on Monday the 14th as the swell drops to 8ft from the same direction, and the wind backs off. The morning session looks the pick with a clean cross-off breeze.
Now, the standout of the first week is shaping up to be Tuesday the 15th. The morning is looking choice. We've got a solid 8ft SSW groundswell, a 17-second period, and a light ESE cross-off wind. It's going to be clean, powerful, and proper. The energy is still strong at 3968 (combined energy). This is one for the experienced crew, though – that size and power at a reef break isn't for the faint-hearted. It's a fairly consistent spot, but you can expect some company out there as it can get crowded.
Wednesday the 16th morning is another good call. The swell drops to a still-juicy 6ft, but with a 15-second period and glassy conditions from a light ESE wind, it's going to be clean and fun for the intermediate surfer.
The following week starts to wind down a bit. Thursday the 17th has a small 4ft SSW groundswell with an offshore ENE breeze – super clean but small. By Friday the 18th, we're down to knee-high 3ft waves, though the afternoon glass-off is a nice consolation.
The second week kicks off with a return of the big stuff. Sunday the 20th sees another 10ft SSW swell roll in, but it's going to be absolutely hammered by a fresh SSE wind, so don't get too excited.
The real standout for the whole period, the one you need to circle on your calendar, is Friday the 25th. That's a week and a half out, so keep an eye on it, but the early signs are incredible. We're looking at a 10ft SSW groundswell with a super long 18-second period, and it's glassy. The combined energy is massive at 5300 (combined energy). This is an expert-only session – that size, period, and the reef setup means it's gonna be a proper, heaving beast. It's the kind of morning that makes all the flat spells worth it. Just be aware that a spot like this can get busy when it's good.
So, to sum it up: you want the clean, powerful juice, get on Tuesday the 15th morning. For the one that could be truly epic, keep everything crossed for Friday the 25th morning.
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.
