The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a pretty grim stretch ahead for the most part, but there is a small window you’ll want to be on.
We’re looking at Ngor Lefts, and the water is sitting at 84° which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. The coming days are a real mixed bag of frustrations.
The only real standout is Sunday, the 26th of July. That morning we’ve got a nice 4ft swell pushing in from the NNW with a moderate 202 units of energy. The wind is a light offshore from the SSE, just 9 mph, which is going to have this reef setup looking clean and lined up. The period is a short 9 seconds, so it’s a little windswell-ish, but with that offshore breeze and the shape of the reef, it’s going to be the best of a bad bunch. Expect a few other heads out though – crowds here are sometimes a thing.
Sunday afternoon stays clean but the swell drops a touch to 3ft and the wind picks up a bit from the SSW. Still surfable, but the morning session is the one.
After that, it goes ugly. Monday the 27th through to Tuesday the 4th of August is a write-off – a solid week of onshore, cross-shore, and lumpy winds with weak, messy swell. Swell heights bounce around from 2ft to 5ft, but the wind is just ruining everything. The 29th of July has a bit of size, 5ft to 5ft, but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 22 mph – that’s just a chop fest, maybe more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
We then get a little flicker of hope on Friday the 7th of August. The morning brings a light offshore from the SSW again, with a small 2ft NNW swell and 105 units of energy. It’s weak, but clean. Don’t expect much push.
The tail end of the forecast, around the 10th of August, shows a jump in size to 5ft from the NNW with energy climbing to 413 units (strong to very strong wave energy). But the wind is light cross-onshore or cross-shore, and the period is short at 9 seconds. It’s a long-range tease, so don’t get your hopes up too high.
So, plain and simple: if you’re not out on Sunday morning the 26th of July, you’re probably waiting for a week. The 7th of August might offer a clean little wave, but it’s tiny. The rest is a long, blank run.
Rusty.

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.
