The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the coming weeks.
We’re kicking off with a bit of a slow start. The first few days are looking pretty average, with a lot of grotty conditions. We’ve got a storm risk and some cross-shore winds messing things up. The water is sitting at 84°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The first real chance to get a decent wave comes around Tuesday, the 25th of August.
The standout period is shaping up for Tuesday, the 25th of August, through to Sunday, the 30th. The real highlight looks to be Tuesday afternoon. We’ve got a clean 3 ft swell from the NNW, but the wind goes offshore from the SSE at 12 mph. The period is a very long 13 seconds, which is proper groundswell. This long-period energy will make for some great shape at a reef break like Ngor Rights, but it might be a bit straight for a beach break. The combined energy is moderate at 374. Wednesday the 26th morning is also looking clean with a light cross-offshore breeze and a 3 ft, 12-second groundswell from the NNW. The energy is moderate at 303.
Don’t sleep on the 30th of August either. The morning is looking very clean with a cross-offshore breeze and a 4 ft swell from the SW. This one has a very long period of 14 seconds, and the energy is strong at 727. This is a proper session right there.
After that, things get a bit messy again. There’s a long gap of poor conditions from the 31st of August right through the first week of September. The wind just keeps swinging onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell stays small and weak. The energy drops right down, with values like 237 on the 1st of September, and then all the way down to 78 by the 7th. It’s a bit of a flat spell, to be honest.
The only other date worth a mention is Sunday the 6th of September. The wind is a fresh offshore from the SSE at 22 mph, but the swell is only 3 ft from the NNW with a short, weak period of 8 seconds and energy of just 137. It’s clean, but it’s not going to be anything special.
So, for the best waves, get out on Tuesday the 25th of August afternoon, or Sunday the 30th of August morning. The rest of the period is a write-off for quality surf.
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 Rights 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.
