The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Things are looking pretty solid for Ninja's, a reef break that’s beginner-friendly and fairly consistent. The water temp is sitting around 85°, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The action gets going Thursday morning, 27th August, with a 5 ft SSW swell, but the wind is cross and it’s a bit choppy. Not the best start. The surf cleans up nicely from Saturday morning, 29th August, with a 2 ft SSW swell and cross-offshore winds, giving clean waves. Saturday afternoon picks up to 4 ft and the energy is solid (1326). Sunday morning, 30th August, is a standout – 6 ft SSW swell, clean cross-off wind, and the combined energy is pumping (2376). That’s excellent for experienced surfers, and the swell direction is right on the money for this spot.
The best run kicks off Sunday and carries through to Wednesday, 2nd September. Monday morning, 31st August, sees 7 ft SSW swell with clean conditions and energy over 2500 – that’s proper. Tuesday and Wednesday are also very clean with 4 ft to 6 ft SSW swell and cross-off winds. The wind stays light and clean, making for some really nice waves.
After Wednesday afternoon, the swell backs off a bit, but there’s still some fun ones from Thursday, 3rd September, to the following Monday, 7th September, with 5 ft to 5 ft SSE swell and light winds. The period drops to around 10-11 seconds, so it’s less punchy, but still clean. The energy is moderate (around 600-800). It’s a solid week of surf.
From Tuesday, 8th September, it gets small and marginal. The swell drops under 4 ft, and the energy weakens. There’s a bit of a gap from there. The last half of the second week has some tiny SSW swell around 2 ft to 3 ft, with clean conditions but not much to ride. The energy is weak (300-400). It’s a quiet end to the period.
The real standout here is the Sunday morning (30th August) through Wednesday (2nd September) stretch at Ninja's. That’s where you want to be – clean, solid swell, and the reef will handle that long-period SSW groundswell well. It’s a bit much for beginners once it hits over 5 ft, but for anyone with a bit of experience, it’s prime.
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.
