The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a good look at what Namotu Lefts has on offer over the next sixteen days.
Right off the bat, don't get too excited about this coming Sunday or Monday. The wind is all over the shop, blowing cross-shore and cross-onshore, and the wave energy is moderate but messy. Sunday morning has a 3ft SSW swell but it’s a write-off with that cross-breeze. The real story starts to shape up around Wednesday the 5th of August.
That Wednesday morning, we see some improvement. The swell has dropped to a clean 4ft from the SSW, but the period jumps to a very long 18 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy (combined energy at 1498) and with light cross-off winds, it’ll be groomed. However, the real standout moment is Wednesday afternoon – glassy conditions, zero wind, and that same 4ft SSW groundswell with a 17-second period. The combined energy reads 1464, which is strong, and the report says excellent conditions for experienced surfers. This is the pick of the entire forecast. Get out there if you can handle a long-period reef wave.
Thursday and Friday bring more clean conditions with that long-period energy continuing, but the wind picks up again. The afternoon from Friday the 7th of August offers another glimpse of hope with that 5ft SSE swell and only a 3 mph breeze, giving you clean, rideable waves.
After that, it’s a slow fade. The swell size drops and the consistency vanishes. From the 9th of August onwards, the energy levels drop to moderate (three-digit numbers) and the wind turns ugly again – cross-shore and lumpy. There’s a brief moment on the morning of the 9th with a 3ft SSE swell at a very long 19-second period and clean cross-off wind, but it’s small. The second week is mostly a write-off with poor surf conditions and moderate energy (combined values in the 200-680 range). If you’re a beginner, stay well away from this spot for the whole period – it’s a reef and even the smaller swells here need respect.
So the headline is this: Mark Wednesday the 5th of August afternoon – glassy, 4ft SSW groundswell with a 17-second period. That is the best on offer. The rest of the outlook has a few surfable but not spectacular sessions for the experienced crew.
Stay safe, and I'll see you in the water.

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.
