The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's check out what's cookin' at Ninja's. This is a reef break, exposed to the swell, and it's a beginner-friendly spot that's fairly consistent. The water's sittin' at a warm 85°, which is pretty much average for this time of year. We've got a slow start, but the second half of the window is where the real action is.

The first few days, from Wednesday the 12th through the weekend, are a bit of a mixed bag. We've got a moderate energy SSE swell around 4ft, with a period of 10-11 seconds, putting the combined energy in the moderate range (445 to 396). The wind is mostly cross-off from the west, which keeps things clean, but the scores are low. You'll find some clean waves on Friday morning and Saturday morning, but the conditions are a bit marginal. Don't expect much.

There's a real lull on Sunday the 16th, with the energy dropping to 320 and the wind going cross-shore, making for some poor surf. Then Monday the 17th rolls around, and we start to see a shift. The swell direction swings to the SSW, and the period jumps up to 21 seconds for the afternoon – that's proper groundswell. The energy skyrockets to 1754 (strong), and the waves are a clean 4ft. It's still a bit marginal, but you can feel the pulse coming.

Now, here's the standout. Tuesday the 18th is the one to circle. Morning and afternoon, we've got clear skies, a clean cross-off wind from the west at 9 mph, and a solid 6ft to 7ft SSW groundswell. The period is 18 seconds, and the combined energy is up at 2352 and 2519 – that's strong, powerful surf. This is excellent for experienced surfers, as it might be a bit much for the beginners. The reef setup here is perfect for that long-period energy, so expect some well-shaped, punchy waves. It's going to be a high-quality session.

Wednesday the 19th still has some good leftovers, with a 6ft SSW swell in the morning and a clean 4ft S swell in the afternoon, both carrying that long period. The energy is still strong (1699-1457). After that, the swell slowly backs off through the rest of the week and into the next, with a mix of S and SSW swells dropping to around 2ft to 4ft. The wind stays mostly cross or cross-off, but the energy falls away to a moderate 300-500 range. Things get pretty quiet until around Tuesday the 25th, when we see a bit of a pulse again – a 5ft to 6ft SSW swell pops up, but the wind is cross-shore from the SW, making it a bit bumpy. Still, for the more patient surfer, there's something to work with.

So, to sum it up: the early part of the forecast is a bit flat and average. The real magic is on Tuesday the 18th of August – that's your best bet by a long shot, with strong, clean, long-period groundswell for the experienced crew. After that, it's a slow fade with a few small windows of opportunity.

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.
