Ngor Lefts Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks at Ngor Lefts.

Overall, it’s a bit of a slow burner. We’ve got a lot of small, messy, cross-shore junk to wade through before we get to the one real moment of glory. The water is sitting at about 84°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no nasty surprises there.

Monday 10th kicks things off, but honestly, it’s not worth paddling out for. There’s a tiny 3ft swell from the NNW with a short period, and while the wind is light, it’s cross-off. The combined energy is weak (81), and it’s just surfable, not worth getting excited about.

The rest of that week, from Tuesday 11th right through to Thursday 13th, is a write-off. The swell hovers around the 3ft mark, but the period is short and the wind is all cross or cross-on, just junking everything up. Don’t bother.

Now, things start to change from Friday 14th. The swell direction swings to the SW, and we get a long period of 15 seconds for the afternoon session. The combined energy jumps into the moderate range (427), and with a light cross-off wind, conditions are clean. That’s your first decent window, but it’s not the standout.

The absolute gem of this entire forecast is Saturday 15th. Honestly, this is the one to circle. Morning session has a 3ft SW groundswell with a very long 16-second period, and the combined energy is solid at 637. The wind is a light offshore, making for clean surf. Then the afternoon gets even better – the wind goes glassy. There will be lulls between sets with that long period, but the shape and power will be there, and Ngor Lefts is a reef, so it’ll handle that really well. It’s an advanced wave, and on a day this good, expect some crowd. It’s not often you get that combination of clean conditions and proper groundswell, so don’t sleep on it.

Sunday 16th still has some nice SW swell, but the wind turns cross-on, making it a bit bumpy. The energy is still solid (867 in the morning), but the quality takes a hit.

After that, it’s basically back to poor conditions for the entire second week. From Monday 17th right through to Sunday 23rd, we’re looking at cross-on winds, choppy seas, and small, short-period junk. There’s a spike in height around 5ft on Saturday 22nd, but with a cross-on wind and short period, it’s just going to be a messy, closed-out wall. Sunday 23rd afternoon sees a slight improvement with a 4ft NNW swell and cross-shore wind, but it’s still only marginal.

The very tail end, Tuesday 25th afternoon, offers a tiny 4ft WSW swell and glassy conditions, but the period is a measly 6 seconds. It’ll be surfable but very weak and ordinary.

So, for the whole 16 days, it’s a one-hit wonder. Hold out for Saturday 15th – that’s your day. The rest is a waiting game.

Rusty.
