The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty again. Let's talk about Ngor Rights in feet and miles per hour.
The bottom line is this: the next 16 days are a real bummer for Ngor Rights. There's no standout session, and we're looking at a long haul of poor to average conditions. The water is about 84°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's the only highlight.
It starts on Monday the 27th of July with a weak NNW swell around 3ft, but the wind is onshore from the NNW at 9 mph, making it a total mess. The energy is weak (160). This same story of messy, choppy surf continues all week. The swell gets a little bigger on Wednesday the 29th, hitting 5ft from the NNW, but the energy is still moderate (306) and the cross-onshore wind keeps it lumpy. Not worth your time.
We get a cleaner window from Friday the 31st of July to Saturday the 1st of August, with offshore winds from the SW giving us smooth conditions. The problem is the swell drops right off. We're looking at 3ft to 4ft of weak NNW swell with moderate energy (122-180). Clean, but with no power.
Then from Sunday the 2nd of August right through to Sunday the 9th of August, it's a wasteland. The swell drops to almost nothing – 1ft to 3ft – with very weak energy (14-176). The wind is all over the place, mostly onshore, and the few clean windows are on tiny, weak waves. There's a very long period (12 seconds) on the 8th, but it's onshore and tiny, so forget it.
Finally, on Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th of August, there's a slight glimmer. The swell picks up to 4ft-5ft from the NNW, with moderate to strong energy (306-348). Monday morning has clean, cross-offshore wind from the WSW, which is good. The wave comment says it's "marginal," though, and the period is a short 8 seconds, so it won't have much shape. Tuesday morning is also clean with a 5ft short-period swell, but the energy is moderate (306). It's the best we've got, but it's still not good. This spot is a consistent reef and exposed to the NW, but the wind just isn't cooperating.
For a stretch this long with no real surf, I'd say don't hold your breath. Forecasts can change, but for now, find something else to do.
Rusty.

Information about the Ngor Rights Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Ngor Rights provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Ngor Rights can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Ngor Rights 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 Rights) 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 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. 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.
