Ngor Lefts Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for us.

Alright, so we're looking at a 16-day window and, to be honest, it's a bit of a mixed bag. Don't get too excited about the next few days; there's a bit of a lull to start with.

The only spot on the radar is Ngor Lefts. The water is sitting at 85°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

We kick things off proper on Wednesday, August 19th. Morning's looking alright with a tiny 3ft NNW groundswell and glassy conditions. It's small, sure, but clean with moderate energy (102). The afternoon stays clean too with a light offshore. It's not going to blow your mind, but it's a start.

Thursday 20th is a write-off with a strong cross-shore killing the vibe. Friday 21st is a bit of a mixed story. Morning is blown out again, but the afternoon session on Friday looks better with 4ft from the NNW and nice offshore wind, giving us clean lines and moderate energy (159).

Now, here's the standout for the first week: Saturday, August 22nd. We've got clean conditions all day with light offshore winds. The swell bumps up just a touch to 4ft from the NNW, and the energy kicks up to a solid 221 – that's a good sign. Expect clean, fun waves. If you can get out, this is your morning.

After that, things get messy again from Sunday through most of the following week with onshore winds and poor quality. The swell sticks around but the wind ruins it.

Then we get a bit of a surprise late in the run. Friday, August 28th is looking promising, especially the afternoon. We'll see 5ft from the NNW, gone glassy, clean as a whistle, and decent energy (255). That's another good one.

The real wildcard, and the best on offer in the whole forecast, lands on Monday, August 31st. We've got a very long-period groundswell (13 seconds) rolling in from the SW. Now, long period like that at a reef break like Ngor Lefts? That's a beautiful thing. The waves will be small at 3ft, but the energy is pumping at 493. Glassy in the morning and a light offshore in the afternoon. Conditions will be perfect. This is one to circle on the calendar, though keep in mind it's over a week away so we'll have to wait and see how it firms up.

The rest of the run into September looks average at best, with onshore winds and poor quality, so make the most of those few windows.

Rusty.
