The Lowdown
Alright, grab your wettie and listen up. Rusty here.
The outlook for Namotu Lefts is a real mixed bag over the next couple of weeks. We’ve got some serious size on the cards, but you’ll have to work around the wind to get a clean session. It’s not all doom and gloom though; there are a couple of windows that look pure magic.
The week kicks off a bit average. Monday the 27th? Forget it. We’ve got a 8ft SSW groundswell (period of 15 seconds) and a stiff cross-onshore wind from the SSE at 22 mph. It’s lumpy and blown out. The wave energy is strong at 2592. Tuesday stays messy with a choppy cross-shore. Things start to turn on Wednesday the 29th. The morning is a little cleaner with a cross-off breeze, but the real standout is Wednesday afternoon. The swell drops to a manageable 6ft from the S, with a sweet 12-second interval, but the wind goes lighter to 3 mph from the E, putting it cross-off and clean. This is your first real window for good, lined-up waves. The water temp is 78°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
Thursday the 30th is interesting. The morning has a smaller 5ft SE swell with a short 7-second period, but by the afternoon we get a glassy session. The wind swings to a glassy SSW at 3 mph, and we’ve got a clean 4ft SSE groundswell with a nice 12-second period. The energy is moderate at 914, but the conditions will be perfect. Friday the 31st sees the morning clean with a cross-off, and the afternoon goes glassy again with a 4ft swell. Both good fun. Saturday the 1st of August morning is also very clean with a 3ft SSW groundswell at 14 seconds.
Then we hit a rough patch. From Saturday afternoon through the start of the second week, the wind picks up, turning the surf onshore and lumpy. There’s still swell, but the quality plummets. On Monday the 3rd, the wind is a fresh cross-shore, and by Tuesday the 4th we’ve got a strong breeze at 25 mph making a total mess of a 7ft swell. That wave energy is strong though, at 1858.
The true standout of the entire outlook lands on Wednesday the 5th of August. Hold on to your board. The afternoon has a massive 10ft SSE swell (period of 14 seconds) and the wind drops to a glassy ESE at just 3 mph. The combined energy is a huge 5463. This is an exceptional, expert-only session at full size. The wave energy is very strong, the face will be huge, and the wind will keep it clean. This is the one to circle on the calendar.
After that, we see the swell pulse fade a little. Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th offer some cleanish smaller waves in the morning with cross-off winds, but the afternoon winds get messy again. Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th are completely blown out by fresh onshore winds with some sizable swell, making it a kitesurfer's paradise more than anything else. The very end of the run, Monday the 11th, still has a moderate cross-shore wind and a clean but bumpy 7ft swell.
So, to sum it up: ride the clean windows on Wednesday the 29th and the glassy afternoons on the 30th and 31st of July. But the absolute standout, the one you’d travel for, is the massive, clean afternoon of Wednesday the 5th of August. That’s going to be a proper session for the experts.

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.

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.
