The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s see what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.
First off, we’ve got a pretty slow start. The first week is mostly a write-off, with cross-shore and cross-onshore winds making things choppy and lumpy. There’s a big gap from Sunday the 30th of August right through to the Tuesday of the following week, with poor surf conditions and only a few marginal windows. That changes from Wednesday the 2nd of September, when the energy picks up, but the winds are still a problem.
The real standout is Namotu Lefts on Thursday the 3rd of September in the morning. The wind is a gentle cross-offshore, leaving the surface clean and glassy – perfect for a smooth wave face. Swell is a solid 7 ft from the SSW, with a long 15-second period, so it’s a proper groundswell with plenty of push. The combined energy is 1889, which is strong. This is a reef break, and that long period will wrap around nicely, giving you some well-formed lines. At 7 ft, it’s for the experienced crew, not beginners. Crowds are rare, so you’ll have plenty of room.
Another beauty is coming up on Monday the 7th of September in the morning. Light offshore wind from the east, a 7 ft SSW swell, and a 16-second period – that’s a very long groundswell with a combined energy of 2081. Again, a reef break, so those long-period lines will be holding up well. A ripper session for intermediates and above, but not for the grommets.
Later in the window, on Sunday the 13th of September in the afternoon, we get another clean one. Light winds, a 5 ft SSW swell, 14-second period, and combined energy of 1077. It’s a bit smaller, but still a solid, clean wave for a good afternoon session.
Water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no need for a thick suit.
So, to sum it up: the first few days are a waste. The real action is on Thursday the 3rd of September morning and Monday the 7th of September morning. After that, there are a few more clean windows, but those are the two best bets. Get out there if you’re experienced and can handle the size.
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.
