Ngor Lefts Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.

The buzz around Ngor Lefts is a bit of a slow burn this period. This is a heavy, advanced reef that’s consistent, so when it’s working, it’s a proper challenge. Water temp is sitting about normal for the time of year—nothing extreme.

The absolute best window hits this Sunday, the 16th of August, in the morning. We’ve got a 4ft swell churning in from the SW with a 14-second interval, meaning some real meaty lines. The combined energy is strong at 736. And the kicker? The wind is glassy—dead flat. That means Ngor Lefts will be clean, well-shaped, and offering some proper long rides for the crew who know what they’re doing. With that longer period, sets will be a bit more spaced out, which helps with the paddle, but don’t let your guard down on this reef.

The day before, Saturday the 15th, is also worth a mention. Swell is a touch smaller at about 3ft from the SW, but the period is a very long 16 seconds, and the wind is cross-offshore, keeping it clean. The combined energy sits around 471-596—solid, surfable waves.

After that, it’s a pretty grim stretch. From Monday the 17th through to the 23rd, the surf turns ugly. Swell drops, wind switches onshore or cross-shore, and the period gets short and messy. There’s a gap of about a week where you’re better off doing something else.

There’s a tiny glimmer near the end of the month. On Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th, the swell drops to around 3ft from the NNW, with a short period, but the wind goes glassy or light offshore. The combined energy is weak, around 100-133, so no power, but it’ll be clean and mellow. Could be a nice, quiet session on a longboard if you’re not in a rush.

Best bet, no question: Sunday morning the 16th. Glassy, clean, and pumping. After that, you’re waiting over a week for anything worth paddling for.
