The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk about Ninja's. A proper reef break. The water's sitting at 85°F, which is right where it should be for this time of year. No surprises there.
The first few days are a total washout. Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th are blown out with a cross-shore wind and a cross-chop on the face. There's some south swell trying to get in at 5ft, with a period of 10-11 seconds, but the wind is just killing it. The energy is moderate, but it's a mess. Don't bother.
Things clean up on Monday the 10th. The wind goes west, giving us a clean cross-off breeze. The wave height drops to 3ft, but the period jumps to a very long 20 seconds. That's pure groundswell energy. The energy reading is strong, and the forecast is for "very good surf conditions." This is a standout window. That long period will make the waves super lined up and clean on the reef. It'll be a bit fat and slow, but the shape will be perfect.
The clean conditions stick around all week. We're looking at steady 4ft to 5ft swell from the south-southeast with a 10-11 second period. The wind stays light and cross-off. It's a consistent, fun run. The energy is moderate, but the quality is high. This is good, solid surfing. There's often a crowd here, but it's a crowd of people who know the waves are good.
Now, the real standout. The morning of Tuesday the 18th of August. The swell jumps to 7ft from the south-southwest with a period of 18 seconds. The combined energy is a massive 3,160. That's some serious power. The wind is light and cross-off from the west. This is "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." Anything over 8ft is for experts, so 7ft is a big, powerful wave. If you're a beginner, stay on the beach. For everyone else, this is the session of the forecast.
The swell backs down from Wednesday the 19th, but the quality stays high through the 20th. Clean, cross-off winds and 4ft to 5ft south-west groundswell with a 16-second period. The energy is still strong. More excellent waves.
The run ends on the weekend of the 22nd and 23rd. The wind goes cross-shore, the swell gets messy, and the conditions turn poor. Time to hang up the board.
The one to circle is the 18th. That Tuesday morning is the king. But the whole stretch from the 10th to the 20th is a solid run of clean surf. The 10th is the sneaky good one with the long period.

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.
