The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's talk about Ninja's, but in feet and miles per hour.
The first week is a bit of a struggle. From Monday the 27th of July right through to Saturday the 1st of August, we’re looking at a lot of small, choppy days. The swell is hanging around 2ft to 4ft, with a lot of cross-shore wind making things messy. The water is a warm 85°, which is about normal for the season. The best scores are only a 2 out of 10, so you’ll have to work for it.
There’s a little break in the clouds on Sunday the 2nd of August. That morning we get a proper offshore wind from the NW at 12 mph, and the swell is a clean 4ft out of the SSE. It’s not a big day, but it’ll be clean and fun for a beginner-friendly reef. That’s the best of the first week.
The second week brings more size. Monday the 3rd of August afternoon sees a solid pulse of SSW swell at 4ft, with a period of 17 seconds – that’s a groundswell. The wind is cross-off and clean. That’s a good session. Wednesday the 5th of August afternoon is the real standout: 5ft from the SSW, period of 18 seconds, and strong energy. The wind stays cross-off and clean. That’s the best window of the whole forecast. It’s not too big for a beginner, but the long period means longer lulls between sets.
After that, the wind gets fresh and lumpy from Thursday the 6th of August onward. The swell holds at 5ft, but the conditions are poor to marginal, with a lot of cross-shore chop. The 8th of August Saturday has some energy, but it’s a messy, fresh cross-shore – better for a kite.
So, bottom line: Sunday the 2nd of August morning is a clean little session, but Wednesday the 5th of August afternoon is the one to aim for. It’s a ways out, so keep an eye on it, but it’s the most promising.
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.
