The Lowdown
Alright mates, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Namotu Lefts for the next couple of weeks. It’s a real mixed bag, so don’t get your hopes up for a perfect run. The water is sitting at a warm 78°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no need for the thick rubber.
The start is pretty poor. The first few days are all messy onshore breezes and choppy conditions, so you’re better off just waiting it out. The real action shows up later. On Sunday the 13th of September, we get a huge pulse of 10ft SSW groundswell, and the combined energy is a massive 5657, which is absolutely honking. But the wind is a fresh cross-breeze, making it lumpy, so that’s only for the experts. That size is well over the 8ft mark, so beginners should stay on the beach.
For my pick of the entire forecast, aim for the morning of Monday the 16th of September. You’ve got a solid 6ft SSW groundswell with a 15-second period – proper groundswell waves – and it’s clean with a light offshore cross-off breeze from the ESE. The combined energy is a 1721, which has plenty of push without being a washing machine. That’s your window for the best shaped, cleanest waves. The days just before, the 14th and 15th, have bigger surf (7ft to 10ft) and are cleaner than the 13th, but the wind is still just cross or a lighter off-shore, so they’re worth a look if you want size and can handle a bit of chop. After the 17th, the wind cranks up again and the swell drops right off, so it’s game over.
Short version: the first week is a dud. The absolute standout is the morning of the 16th of September for clean, quality waves. The bigger days before that are for the hardcore only.
Rusty, signing off.
