Wind on the beach

  • Cross-shore at the sand-spit launch on the prevailing southeast-to-east trade.
  • As the wind backs south it turns side-offshore along Namotu Lefts, so a drift takes you away from the spit rather than back onto it.

What the spot record warns about

  • shallow reef, especially at low tideLive coral reef and shallow reef at low tide around Namotu and nearby reef-pass waves
  • Cloudbreak is a heavy wave and for experienced riders only.
  • Cloudbreak is a fast, shallow left reef pass that punishes a mistake.
  • Surf traffic at Namotu Lefts: normal wave priority applies, especially with surfers already in the water.
  • Everything except Namotu Lefts needs a boat, and the know-how to launch and land off one.
