The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it's a slow start. We're looking at a long stretch of nothing worth paddling out for. The first surfable window doesn't even open up until Thursday, the 23rd, and even then it's just barely a whisper. The water temp is sitting at 83° with a positive anomaly of 1°, so it's a touch warmer than average for this time of year, but nothing crazy.
The only spot in the cards is Ngor Lefts, a solid advanced reef break that needs a good NW swell to really fire. It's consistent here, but the crowds can show up sometimes. The wait is real.
Thursday morning the 23rd is still pretty ordinary, but by Thursday afternoon we get a hint of life with a 4ft swell from the NNW, period around 8 seconds, and a cross-offshore wind from the SW at 9 mph. The combined energy is moderate at 202, and it's looking clean. Not a standout, but it's the first sign of something rideable.
Friday morning the 24th is the best of the bunch. Swell is 4ft from the NNW, period picking up to 9 seconds, with a cross-offshore breeze from the WSW at 9 mph. The combined energy is 241, and conditions are clean. The swell direction is a bit off the optimum for Ngor Lefts, but for this run, it's the pick of the litter. Not a day for beginners, but for the advanced crew, it's a chance to get a few.
After that, it's back to mediocrity. Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th have some size, around 4ft to 4ft, but the wind is messy and cross-shore, making for choppy conditions. The energy stays moderate. Monday the 27th looks a little cleaner with lighter winds, but the forecast is still marginal.
The second week tails off pretty hard. The energy drops significantly, and by the end of the month, we're looking at tiny swell and poor conditions. There's a moment on Friday the 31st with some clean cross-offshore wind and 3ft swell, but it's hardly a pulse. The swell on the 2nd of August has a longer period at 12 seconds, but it's coming from the SW, which is wrong for this break, and the wind is onshore. Not worth getting excited about.
To be straight with you, the only real window to get wet is Friday morning the 24th. It's not a classic, but it's the best we've got.
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.
