The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s break down what’s cookin’ at Namotu Lefts. The water temp is 78°, pretty much average for this time of year – no surprises there.
The first few days are mostly a wash. Thursday and Friday are small, lumpy, cross-shore junk with weak energy. Swell hangs around 3 ft to 4 ft, but the wind is all over the place, so you’re not missing anything. Saturday the 12th brings a long-period groundswell – 20-second intervals – with waves around 5 ft to 5 ft, and combined energy jumps to 2623. But the wind is fresh cross or cross-on, so the surface is chopped-up. A reef like this loves that long period, but the wind kills it.
Sunday the 13th: a big pulse arrives – 10 ft of SSW swell with a 17-second period, energy hitting 5331. That’s powerful, expert-only territory, over 8 ft. Morning wind is cross-shore, not clean, but it’s the best of a messy day. Afternoon is cross-on slop.
Monday the 14th stays big at 8 ft to 8 ft with 18-second periods – serious groundswell energy. Same pattern: cross-shore mornings are okay, afternoons are choppy.
Now, here’s the standout. Tuesday the 15th of September morning. Still 8 ft of solid SSW swell with a 17-second period, energy at 4036, but the wind shifts light east-southeast, cross-off, and it’s clean. Excellent for experienced surfers – big, powerful waves with smooth faces. This is the best call of the whole window. Crowds are possible but not inevitable.
Wednesday the 16th morning is also decent: 6 ft, 15-second period, clean cross-off breeze (1525 energy). A nice session but not as epic as Tuesday.
The rest of the first week is patchy – small, lumpy, cross-shore junk returns Thursday and Friday. Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th have waves around 4 ft to 6 ft but fresh cross-shore winds keep it average.
Into the second week, Tuesday the 22nd morning shows 8 ft of SSW swell (2273 energy) with clean cross-off wind, though the period drops to 14 seconds. Wednesday the 23rd morning is clean again with 7 ft (1458 energy). Then Thursday the 24th morning shapes up as another solid option: 7 ft, 12-second period, light cross-off breeze, clean faces, and energy at 1499. Good for experienced surfers, but the shorter period means it won’t have the same punch as the big mid-September swells.
Best bet overall: Tuesday the 15th of September morning – big, clean, and powerful.
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.
