The Lowdown

G’day, Rusty here.

Alright, let’s be straight with you. We’ve got one spot on the radar for this entire 16-day window: Ninja’s. It’s a reef break that’s fairly consistent, but honestly, we’re not looking at a run of classics here. The calendar is packed with days that are just knee-to-waist high and barely worth the paddle out.

The most promising action kicks off now. Today, Sunday the 30th, we’ve got some fun 6ft SSW groundswell with a long 19-second period. The energy is strong, reading 2378 on the dial. It’s cross-offshore wind making the face reasonably clean, but the forecast calls it “marginal” due to tide. As a beginner-friendly reef, this is a good time to get wet, but the consistent cross-off breeze might have it a little lumpy in the lineup.

The water is a warm 85°, which is about average for this time of year, so a rashie is all you need.

Monday the 31st bumps up a notch. The swell pushes to 7ft from the SSW, still with serious energy (2776), and the period is a solid 16 seconds. It’s bigger and more powerful but still marked as marginal. This is the standout of the first week. The winds stay cross-offshore, so it should be holding shape, but the energy is significant. For a beginner spot, this is getting towards the top end of your comfort zone. As the afternoon drops back to 6ft, it gets more user-friendly.

Tuesday sees a step down in size, with 4ft SSW swell and lighter winds. It’s cleaner, but the energy drops to 1219. It’s a more manageable day for a cruise, but not the standout.

The real gem, if you can time it, is Wednesday afternoon the 2nd. We have 6ft of SSW swell, a 14-second period, and only a gentle 9 mph cross-offshore breeze. The forecast explicitly calls it “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” This is the best day of the whole run. It’s got the size and the clean face. After this, the swell starts to fade quickly through Thursday and Friday, dropping to 5ft, then smaller, with energy levels falling to under 500. The wind is light and clean, but the waves just lose their grunt.

There’s a lull over the weekend of the 5th and 6th, with waves hovering around 4–5ft, and the energy is weak. It’s still rideable for a longboard but nothing to get excited about.

Then we hit a proper flat spell. From the 7th through the 9th, the swell drops to below 3ft, and the power is gone. The energy reading gets down to 284, which is about as weak as it gets. This gap of a few days with no real surf is a good time to fix your dings or go fishing.

Looking further out, the second week starts to rebuild slowly. From the 10th to the 13th of September, we see a return of SSW swells, but they’re inconsistent and the periods are shorter, around 14-16 seconds. The winds are mostly cross-offshore and moderate. The size hovers between 3ft and 5ft. It’s promising, but with the lower period and moderate breeze, it won't be as clean as that Wednesday. The energy is moderate at best, sitting around the 1000-1200 mark early on, then fading again.

The 14th of September shows another pulse of 4–5ft swell, but we’re getting into the long-range territory, so treat that with some caution. It’s a “promising but not certain” situation.

So, the takeaway: Wednesday afternoon is your wave. Get out there for that one. The rest is a grind with a few fun moments.

Rusty out.

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.
