N'Gor Left
N'Gor Left is the powerful counterpart to the famous N'Gor Right, breaking on the opposite side of Ngor Island. The left is less consistent than the right, requiring more north in the swell to really turn on, but when it does, it produces hollow, powerful barrels. It's often less crowded than the right, making it a good option for those willing to wait for the right conditions.
