The Lowdown
Alright, we’re dialing into Ninja's, a reef break that’s got some solid windows ahead. Water temp is a warm 85°, sitting right around normal for this time of year. Not much surf right now, but the first real session hits on Tuesday, July 14th.
That morning: a long-period SSW groundswell, 3 ft, with a 16-second pulse. Wind is from the WNW at 9 mph, clean cross-off. Combined energy is 589—moderate, but the quality is dialed. Small but clean.
Wednesday the 15th is similar: 3 ft SW, 16 seconds morning, dropping to 15 in the afternoon. Cross-off breeze all day.
Thursday the 16th: 3 ft, 14 seconds, very light WNW wind. Smooth as butter.
Friday the 17th: swell picks up to 4 ft from the SSE, but period drops to 10 seconds. Morning is clean; afternoon gets cross-shore chop.
Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th stay around 3 ft, shorter period from the SSE—clean for the most part but nothing special.
Monday the 20th brings real quality: 2 ft S swell with a 17-second period, light W wind at 6 mph. That’s a beautiful long-period wave for the reef.
Tuesday the 21st: 2 ft SSW, 14 seconds, clean again.
Then things heat up. Saturday the 25th of July: 4 ft SSW, 13 seconds, combined energy 682. Clean cross-off wind. That’s a great session.
Sunday the 26th outdoes it: 4 ft SSW, 15-second period, glassy cross-off wind. Combined energy jumps to 841. This is the top pick of the whole run—clean, solid, and the reef will be working its magic. Crowds? Expect company, that’s given here.
Monday the 27th: morning 4 ft, 13 seconds, energy hits 985—that’s getting strong. Afternoon: 3 ft but an insane 19-second period. Very long groundswell. The reef will handle it, but the sets will be spread out.
Wednesday the 29th: morning 4 ft, 15-second groundswell, with an almost dead-calm W wind at 3 mph. Combined energy 722. That’s near-perfect conditions.
Nothing gets over 4 ft across the whole run, so it’s all well within range for beginners and up. Just bring your patience for the crowd.

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.
