The Lowdown
Alright, mates, Rusty here with a look at what’s comin’.
We’re focused on *Ninja's*, a reef break that’s fairly consistent and likes the swell from the south. It’s an easy wave for the learners, but don’t get it twisted – there’s some decent juice in the water. Water temp’s right around 85°, about average for the season. Let’s break it down.
Monday the 31st of August starts with a 5ft SW swell, 16-second period – that’s long-period groundswell makin’ clean, powerful lines. Wind’s cross-off from the WNW at 16 mph, so a little bumpy. Combined energy is 2398 (moderate to strong), but it’s called “marginal” due to tide. A so-so start.
Tuesday the 1st of September: 4 to 4ft from the SSW/SW, that long period still there (15-16 seconds), cross-off winds at 12 mph. Clean enough, but not top quality. Energy’s 1219 and 1045.
Wednesday the 2nd – now we’re talkin’. Morning has 5ft SSW swell, 14 seconds, wind drops to 6 mph cross-off. Afternoon pushes to 6ft from the SSW, same period, same light wind. Energy hits 1272 and 1290 (moderate). The call is “excellent for experienced surfers” – the bigger afternoon wave is over 5ft, so it’s gettin’ into expert territory. This is the standout: clean, solid, and the reef will shape those long-period lines beautifully.
Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th swap to a shorter-period SSE swell (10-11 seconds), 4 to 5ft, light cross-shore wind from the WSW. Energy drops below 630. It’s marginal, nothin’ special.
Saturday the 5th of September morning – glassy! NW wind at 3 mph, 4ft SSE swell, 10-second period. Energy’s low (381), but that glassy surface is pure gold. The afternoon stays cross-off and clean. Small, but pretty.
Sunday the 6th through Monday the 7th stay small (3 to 4ft SSE), light winds cross-off, energy 218-372. Consistent but knee-to-waist high.
Tuesday the 8th sees a drop to 2 to 3ft, then Wednesday the 9th brings a new SSW pulse at 2ft with an 18-second period – very long period groundswell. Energy’s 635. Wind’s a moderate breeze at 12 mph cross-off, so a little scruffy.
Thursday the 10th through Sunday the 13th has a pulse of 4 to 5ft from the SSW/S with 14-17 second periods. Energy climbs (843-1391), winds moderate cross-off. Friday the 11th looks the best of this patch: 5ft SSW, 16 seconds, 1391 energy. Powerful but wind-blown.
From Monday the 14th into Tuesday the 15th, it fades to 3 to 3ft SSW with 13-14 second periods, moderate cross-off winds, energy under 430. Small and weak.
Best bet: Wednesday the 2nd of September. That 6ft SSW groundswell in the afternoon with light cross-off wind is an excellent call for experienced surfers. And Saturday the 5th morning with glassy conditions is a treat even if it’s small.
Rusty, signin’ off.

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.
