Namotu Lefts surf guide

Namotu Lefts is a popular surf spot located in Fiji. It’s known for its fun left-hand waves, making it a go-to for intermediate surfers and longboarders. The spot works best with smaller swells coming from the south to southwest, and it can get pretty lively when the size picks up. While it's less intense than Cloudbreak, Namotu Lefts can still offer some solid rides, especially when the conditions align. Just keep an eye on the water levels, as it works better when there's a bit of cover over the reef.

This wave typically handles swell sizes around 3ft (about 0.9 meters) and prefers swells coming from the southwest, but it can also work with south and west directions. The waves break over live coral, so be cautious. The best time to hit it is during mid to high tide, as this can help the wave find its groove. When the wind is blowing from the northeast, you’ll find that the waves are the cleanest. It’s a playful spot, giving a nice tapering wall, but once it jumps up in size, it can become quite challenging.

The currents can get strong during low tide, so be mindful of that when you’re out there. It can take some getting used to, but with the right conditions, you might just have a great session. This spot is really catered to those who have a bit of experience under their belts, so make sure you're ready for what’s in store.
