Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Alright, look, it’s a bit of a slow start. The first few days are pretty grim for Ngor Lefts, with a messy cross-offshore wind and weak, short-period swell. The good news is that things turn around on Sunday, the 12th of July, and that’s the standout window you want to be looking at.
Sunday morning, the 12th of July, is shaping up to be the pick of the forecast. We’ve got a solid 4ft groundswell from the SW with a period of 14 seconds, which is packing some real punch. The combined energy is sitting at a strong 754. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze from the WSW, which will be keeping the surface clean. For a reef break like this, that long-period SW groundswell is perfect, it’ll wrap in nicely. This is a proper session.
The rest of the first week is a letdown after that. The wind swings onshore and the swell drops off, leaving us with a lot of poor conditions. We get a bit of a tease on Friday the 17th with a clean 5ft swell from the NW and a moderate energy reading of 402, but it’s inconsistent with the quality only being fair.
The second week fades away into really weak, short-period windswell with constant onshore or cross-shore winds. The combined energy values drop to around 50 or less, which is just not enough to get excited about. There’s a long gap of nothing worthwhile from the 18th right through to the end of the forecast window.
So, to sum it up: your only real call here is Sunday morning, the 12th of July. Get on it, because after that it’s a long, flat spell.
Rusty.

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.
