The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the surf for Ngor Lefts.
First real chance to get out is Tuesday morning, September 1st. Swell is running 3ft out of the NNW, with a 10-second period and moderate energy pushing through the reef (226). Wind is out of the south at 12 mph, blowing offshore, so the waves will be clean. The water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothing wild.
The week goes on, and Wednesday afternoon the 2nd shows a bit more size, 5ft of NNW swell (period 8s, energy 232), with a light SSW breeze at 6 mph coming cross-offshore. Clean, surfable, but the short period means it’s a bit weak. Thursday morning the 3rd has a smaller 4ft swell with an ESE wind, staying clean. It’s okay, but not a standout.
The real highlight is Monday morning, September 7th. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the NNW, period around 8 seconds, with moderate energy (229). The wind is light from the SW at 6 mph, cross-offshore, and conditions are straight-up clean. That’s your best session of the first week. The reef handles the swell well, and the crowds are listed as "sometimes," so you’ll have company but not a mob.
The second week is mostly rough. Onshore winds and chop ruin the quality for days. Then Monday, September 14th, gives a tiny 3ft swell from the NNW, but the morning is glassy with a light north breeze, and the afternoon turns dead calm, fully glassy. Energy is weak (90), so it’s a longboard day if you want smooth, slow rides.
Best call of the forecast? That Monday the 7th for the clean conditions and solid swell. Tuesday the 1st is a good backup with the offshore wind. The second week is a dud outside of that one glassy window.
Rusty, out.

Information about the Ngor Lefts Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Ngor Lefts provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Ngor Lefts can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

If you surf the same spot (Ngor Lefts) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Ngor Lefts may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
