Ngor Rights Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, looking at the swell charts for Ngor Rights.

First up, let’s be straight with you. The water temp is sitting at 82°F right now, and that’s about 1°F warmer than usual for this time of year – nothing crazy, just a touch on the warm side.

Now, looking at the whole 16-day run… I’m not gonna lie to you, it’s a grim picture. There’s a lot of nothing happening. The first real chance to even paddle out is Monday morning, July 6th, and even then it’s a struggle. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the NNW, but it’s short period – only 8 seconds – with a cross-off breeze from the WSW at 9 mph. The combined energy is only 196 (moderate), so you’ll feel it, but it’s not gonna light anyone up. The guidance says this break is consistent, but right now the forecast is giving us a long, dry spell for anything decent.

From Monday afternoon all the way through to Tuesday, July 21st, it’s pretty much one poor call after another. There’s a gap of about two weeks where conditions just don’t line up – wrong wind, small weak swell, or cross-chop ruining the face. A few afternoons like Wednesday, July 15th, have a 5ft NNW swell and a clean cross-off breeze, but the surf just stays marginal – the kind where you’re checking the tide and hoping for a miracle.

The only standout worth mentioning – and I mean the only one – is on Thursday afternoon, July 16th. We get a tiny 2ft swell, but it’s from the SW with a massive 19-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 407 (strong). That’s proper groundswell energy for a small wave. The wind is light, 9 mph from the west, cross-shore with only slight chop. For a reef break like Ngor Rights that faces NW, a SW swell at that long a period can wrap in and line up beautifully. It’s a specialist wave that day – small, clean, and made for a longboard or a fish. Perfect for intermediates who want a mellow session without the crowd.

Other than that, I’d say save your energy. The setup’s mostly looking better for kiteboarding than paddle surfing on those windier, choppier days.

Stay patient, check the tides, and keep an eye on that July 16th window – it’s the closest thing to a highlight in this whole outlook.

Rusty.
