The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down in feet.
The first few days are a total no-go. Tiny, weak, and messy. The water temp is sitting about 83°F, which is normal for the season.
Thursday the 6th of August, Ngor Lefts is only 2ft from the north, glassy in the morning, but it’s just ordinary. Not worth it.
Thursday afternoon through to Saturday the 8th are all poor – small swell, cross-on winds, and chop. Leave it.
Sunday the 9th sees a bump to 3ft from the NNW, but it’s a short 7-second swell with moderate energy. Cross-shore wind makes it a mess. Monday the 10th is similar, 3ft to 4ft, but fresh cross-shore winds and lumpy.
Tuesday the 11th afternoon is the first real chance. Swell is 4ft to 4ft from the NNW, cross-off wind, and the surf comment says “expect good surf conditions.” Worth a look.
Wednesday the 12th afternoon is even better. Wind goes offshore from the south, light breeze, clean. We’ve got 4ft from the NNW. This is a solid session.
Thursday the 13th morning has a big energy spike, but the wind is only moderate cross-off, and the surf comment is “marginal.” Swell is 4ft from the NNW. Not a lock.
Friday the 14th is a tease – 2ft from the SW with a very long 15-second period, but the wind is cross-on and choppy. High energy but poor quality.
Now the best of the run.
Saturday the 15th of August, morning and afternoon, you’ve got 4ft from the NNW, 9-second period, cross-off wind, light to gentle breeze, clean. The surf comment says “expect good surf conditions.” This is a quality day.
But Sunday the 16th of August is the crown jewel. In the morning, it’s 3ft from the SW with a 14-second period, offshore wind from the SSW, clean, and very strong energy. The afternoon holds 3ft from the NNW, 9 seconds, offshore wind from the south, gentle breeze, clean. Two perfect sessions.
After that, the window closes. Monday the 17th and the rest of the forecast is messy, smaller, and onshore. Not worth the drive.
So, the standout is Ngor Lefts, with the best days being Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th of August. Sunday the 16th is the absolute winner – offshore wind, clean, strong energy. Crowds are listed as “sometimes,” so you might have company, but the waves will be worth it.
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.
