The Lowdown
Alright, let’s size this up proper. We’re looking at Ngor Lefts, and for the next 16 days it’s a real mixed bag with a long, flat stretch at the start. There’s nothing worth paddling out for until the afternoon of Monday, 21st September, and even that is barely a whisper.
Right now, Thursday the 10th has a pulse in the morning – 3ft from the NNW, around 10 seconds between waves – but a nasty 22 mph southerly is blowing straight offshore. That cleans it up, but the wave energy’s only 229, so it’s weak. Come afternoon, the wind swings NW at 12 mph and goes cross-onshore, and the surface gets chopped to bits. Not your day.
The first week is a bust. Mostly onshore or cross-shore winds, tiny swell under 3ft, and periods often 7 seconds or less. Wave energy drops into the double digits – 38, 55, 84 – which is basically flat. If you’re itching for something, those weekend days (the 12th and 13th) with the cross-onshore breeze and weak 4 to 4ft slop might be more fun on a kite than a surfboard.
Water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothing wild.
Second week starts to show a little life. Monday, 23rd September morning brings the swell up to 4ft from the NNW, period 7 seconds, and wave energy climbs to 244. Wind is light cross-shore from the WNW at 9 mph. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best we’ve seen. The real standout is Tuesday, 24th September morning. Clean, cross-offshore wind from the WSW at 12 mph, swell holds steady at 5ft from the NNW, period stretches to 9 seconds, and wave energy sits at 328 to 351. That’s moderate energy with good lines. Ngor Lefts is a reef break for advanced surfers, and crowds can pop up sometimes, so be ready to share. That 5ft on a reef is serious – keep the beginners on the beach.
After that it drops off fast. Friday the 25th has clean conditions but the swell falls back to 3ft, and energy drops to 144. The window closes quick. If you’re planning a paddle, circle Tuesday, 24th September morning. That’s your best shot. The rest is a whole lot of waiting.

A general guide to surfing at Ngor Lefts can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Ngor Lefts surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period.

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.
