The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Ninja's over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, so don’t go expecting a perfect run just yet.
Right off the bat, the first few days are a write-off. Tuesday the 28th and Wednesday the 29th are a no-go with storms and cross-shore winds, plus the swell is all over the place. You’ve got a 3ft SSW swell with a 16-second period on Tuesday morning, but the energy is messy (499) and the conditions are just poor. Thursday and Friday aren’t much better – we’re looking at a few clean afternoon windows, but the swell is small and the wind is a problem. The real heartbreaker is that the water is sitting at a warm 85°, which is 1° above normal, so it’s about average for the time of year.
The first real standout doesn’t arrive until Monday the 3rd of August. That afternoon session looks like the pick of the first week. We’ll see a 4ft swell from the SSW, with a solid 16-second period pushing a moderate energy (693). The wind goes cross-off and clean, and the forecast calls for very good surf conditions. That’s your best bet in the near term.
After that, the surf hangs around in the marginal zone through to Wednesday the 5th of August. The afternoon of the 5th sees a jump in energy to 1171 as a 4ft SSW swell with an 18-second period rolls in, but the wind is a bit frisky and it’s still a gamble. Thursday the 6th and Friday the 7th are on the fence – clean enough, but the swell is mixed up with a shorter period, so it’s not going to be a classic.
The end of the run gets a bit interesting. Sunday the 9th of August has the biggest combined energy of the whole forecast, hitting 1572 for the morning session with a 4ft swell from the south, but the wind is a fresh cross-shore, so it’s going to be lumpy. That’s a kite-surfing sort of day, not a paddle-surfing one. The swell size does bump up to 6ft on Wednesday the 12th of August, but with a short 11-second period and cross-shore wind, it’s just a messy, expert-only wave if you’re keen.
The overall vibe is that there’s a gap of poor surf from now until Monday the 3rd of August. After that, the Monday afternoon is the standout. The rest is a case of pick your window and don’t expect perfection.
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.
