Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ninja's over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here again. We’ve got a slow start at Ninja's (reef) over the next couple of weeks, but there are a few clean windows opening up. Don’t expect much in the early days.
Thursday the 9th kicks off with a storm risk and a cross-offshore breeze at 16 mph. There’s a small 4 ft SSW swell rolling in, with decent energy (569) and the water’s a warm 85°, which is about normal for this time of year. It’s rideable, but nothing special.
Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th are pretty flat for paddle surfing. The swell drops to 3 ft and then 2 ft. Saturday morning has offshore wind, but the energy is way down (213). Clean, but tiny.
The real standout window starts Monday the 13th. On Monday afternoon, we’ve got a 4 ft S swell with an 11-second period and a solid energy reading of 691. The wind is a gentle cross-offshore breeze, making for clean conditions. Tuesday the 14th holds similar energy in the morning (601) with a 4 ft SSE swell. Then Wednesday the 15th is the real gem. The swell drops to 3 ft, but the period jumps to 16 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. The wind is light and cross-offshore, and the energy is still strong (627). For an expert reef, that long period will create powerful, shaped-up waves, but it might be a bit walled. Thursday the 16th is a close second, with a 3 ft SW swell, a 14-second period, and barely a breath of wind (3 mph) – glassy morning for sure.
After that, the second week gets messy. From Friday the 17th onwards, we’re looking at smaller, weaker swells with a lot of cross-shore wind. There’s a spike in energy on the 22nd and 23rd, with a 3 ft SSW swell and a massive 19-second period (827 energy), then a 5 ft SSE swell (625 energy), but the cross-shore winds at 12-16 mph will chop it up. It’s a promising long-range call, but less certain. For a reef, that super long period on the 22nd will be fast and straight.
Your best bet is Wednesday the 15th and Thursday the 16th. Clean, long-period groundswell, light winds, and good energy. Crowds are likely at Ninja's, so get in early.
Rusty.

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