Ngor Lefts Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. I’ve got to be straight with you – this stretch doesn’t look great. The only spot in the running is Ngor Lefts, and even that’s a tough sell. We’re looking at a long blank run with plenty of poor conditions, so let’s dig into the details.

The Overall Pattern

We’re kicking off on Thursday, July 23rd, and right away it’s a struggle. The water’s a touch warmer than normal at 84°F with a 3°F anomaly – nothing too wild, but you’ll notice it. The real issue is the wind and swell combo. For the next several days, the swell is small and short-period, mostly around 3 ft to 4 ft from the NNW, with a period of only 8 seconds. The wave energy is weak to moderate (118 to 260 in the combined energy reading), but the wind is a constant problem. We’ve got light to moderate cross-onshore breezes, making for choppy, bumpy surf. It’s not until Sunday, July 26th, that things look even close to rideable, but it’s still only a “marginal surf forecast” at best.

The Best on Offer (and it’s not great)

Honestly, if you’re desperate, Sunday July 26th is the standout – and I use that term loosely. The swell nudges up to 4 ft from the NNW, with a 9-second period, and the wave energy picks up to 260 (moderate). The wind is a light cross-shore in the morning, which is the cleanest we’ll see for a while. But it’s only a score of 1 out of 10 – it’s a marginal session, not a good one. From there, we jump to a bigger but messier spell.

The Second Week & The Big Winds

Late July 29th and 30th, the swell gets bigger – 7 ft on the 29th and 5 ft on the 30th – but the wind is a problem. On the 29th, we’ve got fresh cross-onshore winds at 18-22 mph, making it lumpy and choppy. Wave energy jumps to 433-554 (strong), but the quality is poor. The 30th sees a bit more cleanup with a cross-off wind, but it’s still only a 1 out of 10. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-in session, to be honest.

The Gap

After the 30th, the surf drops off a cliff. From July 31st all the way through to the end of the forecast on August 7th, we’re looking at tiny, weak waves – mostly 1 ft to 2 ft, with periods of 5-8 seconds, and energy values dropping to 30-83. The wind is all over the place, but none of it is good. There’s a solid 8-day gap with no real surf on offer.

Bottom Line

Ngor Lefts is a consistent spot, but it’s not delivering right now. The forecast is a tough one – a few marginal days, plenty of wind, and a lot of tiny, choppy junk. It’s the kind of run that makes you look at the forecasts and hope they change. Hang in there.

Rusty.
