Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, it’s a pretty flat run for the most part, and we’re looking at a solid gap before anything really gets going.
We’re looking at Ngor Lefts for this whole period. This is a reef setup, an advanced wave, and it’s a consistent spot, but the crowds can show up sometimes. The water temp is sitting at 81°, which feels pretty normal for this time of year.
Right off the bat, there’s nothing worth paddling out for over the first week and a half. The swell is small and weak, and the winds are mostly cross or onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. You get clean conditions here and there on Monday and Tuesday mornings with cross-offshore breeze, but the swell height is only around 3 ft to 4 ft, and the period is a short 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate, but the quality just isn't there to make it worth your time. Forget it.
The only real window of interest pops up on Wednesday, July 15th. That morning we’ve got light offshore winds at just 3 mph from the west, clean conditions, and the swell bumps up a touch to 4 ft from the NNW. This is the standout of the whole outlook. It’s not a massive swell, but with that glassy morning wind and clean conditions, Ngor Lefts will have some fun, rideable lines for advanced surfers. The afternoon gets a bit of a cross-shore bump, so hit it early.
After that, the forecast goes back to poor surf through to the end of the 16 days. The swell sticks around 3 ft to 5 ft, but the wind swings back onshore or cross-onshore from the north and northwest, creating chop and messy conditions.
So to wrap it up: you’ve got one solid morning to aim for – Wednesday July 15th. Get out there early, have a crack, and that’ll be the pick of a very quiet period.
Rusty.

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. 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. 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.
Ngor Lefts is 6 km (4 miles) from the very large city of Dakar. If you plan a holiday in Senegal, look for hotels and other accommodation in Dakar. Dakar has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as cheap car hire and transport links.
