The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what we’ve got.
First few days? Forget it. Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th are a mess – poor conditions, choppy water, not worth the effort.
Tuesday the 11th morning is your first real chance. Ninja’s – a reef break, good for beginners, pretty consistent – will have a SSE swell at 4 ft, period around 11 seconds. That’s decent groundswell, not too drawn out. Wind is light and cross-off, so it’ll be clean. Water temp is 84°, right on average for this time of year. Combined swell energy is moderate at 736. This is the pick of the first week. Just know that crowds are often around.
From Wednesday the 12th through Saturday the 15th, it’s all marginal. Swell hangs around 4 ft from the SSE, but winds are cross-shore or light cross-off. Surfable, but nothing special.
Sunday the 16th and Monday the 17th stay average – clean but small.
Now, second week gets serious. Tuesday the 18th brings a big SSW swell at 6 ft to 6 ft, with a very long 18-second period. Combined energy jumps to 2145 – that’s strong. But the wind is cross-shore and moderate, so expect some chop. This is powerful, long-period groundswell, and at this size, it’s for experts only. Too big for beginners.
Wednesday the 19th afternoon is the absolute highlight. Swell drops to a more manageable 4 ft from the south, still with a long 16-second period, and the wind turns light cross-off from the west. That’s clean, glassy conditions on a reef. Combined energy is still strong at 1429. This is the session to aim for – excellent for experienced surfers. Crowds will be likely, but the quality will be top-notch.
After that, Thursday the 20th through Monday the 24th fades out. Swell drops to 3 ft or less, periods get shorter, and winds stay light to moderate cross or cross-off. It’s small and marginal, with poor surf on the last couple days.
Best bets: Tuesday morning the 11th for clean, fun waves, and Wednesday afternoon the 19th for quality, long-period groundswell with glassy conditions.
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.
