The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's chew through this Ngor Lefts forecast.
Right off the bat, it’s pretty patchy. Starting on August 28th, the swell is running about 3 to 4 feet from the NNW with a short 8 second interval. Wind is cross-off or cross, not terrible, but the wave energy is weak, and the whole feeling is flat.
On the 29th of August, the morning is still small and weak, but the afternoon takes a swing. The swell direction shifts to the southwest, the period jumps to 15 seconds, and the energy kicks up to a moderate 629. The waves look a bit messy but cleaner. That’s probably the best window early on.
From the 30th of August through the 6th of September, it's mostly a write-off. Cross-on wind, chop, weak energy. Not worth paddling out for.
The 7th of September brings a clean morning with offshore wind out of the SSW at about 6 mph. Swell is around 4 feet with an 8 second period. Surfable, but nothing to write home about.
The second week sees a little lift. On the 9th of September the swell drops to under 2 feet but the period goes to 12 seconds, so there's some quality but it's tiny. By the 10th and 11th, the period stays long, and the energy climbs again to the 200s and 300s. The 11th of September afternoon has a clean look with a moderate cross-off breeze.
The standout here is the afternoon of August 29th. That combination of longer-period groundswell and bigger energy is your best chance for a decent wave at this advanced reef break. It can get a crowd sometimes. This spot is for experts only. Nothing for beginners.
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.

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.
