The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Ngor Rights.
To be honest, the next couple of weeks look like a tough stretch. From Thursday the 10th of September right through to Tuesday the 22nd of September, every single session is a dud. The swell is hanging between 1ft and 5ft, mostly from the NNW, but the wind is the problem. We’ve got a lot of cross-onshore and onshore breezes that are chopping the surface up, and the swell periods are often short, between 6 and 8 seconds. The wave energy is mostly weak to moderate, and the quality is just poor across the board.
There’s one brief window of tidy surf on the morning and afternoon of Thursday the 17th of September. A clean cross-offshore breeze from the WSW at 12 mph, with 3ft of NNW swell at 7 seconds. The energy is moderate, and it’s clean, but it’s small. Not a standout, just a short breather in a flat run.
The one day that’s actually got my attention is Wednesday the 23rd of September. The morning shows a solid 6ft swell from the NNW with a 9-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 487 – that’s strong, powerful stuff. The wind is a light cross-onshore from the ENE at 6 mph, so it should be fairly clean. At this size, Ngor Rights is a serious wave. That’s expert-level territory on a reef, so don’t take it lightly. The afternoon stays solid at 5ft and 453 energy, but the wind swings NW and picks up to 12 mph, making it choppier.
So, if you’re an experienced surfer, your window is Wednesday the 23rd. The rest of the period is a washout.
Keep an eye on the forecast as that date gets closer, and hope the wind stays kind.
Rusty.
