The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here, sizing up the waves for Ninja's. We’ve got a slow start, but patience pays off later.
The first few days are a bit of a dud. Tiny, weak swell and cross-onshore winds are making a mess of things through Saturday and Sunday the 19th. The combined energy is low, under 360. Not worth paddling out.
It starts to clean up on Monday the 21st. The wind goes glassy on Tuesday morning, with clean conditions. The swell is still small, around 2ft to 3ft from the SSW, but with a period of 14 seconds, it’s got some proper groundswell energy. The combined energy sits around 299 to 341 (moderate). It won’t be big, but it’ll be clean and fun. The water temp is a balmy 84°, about average for this time of year.
Things stay clean and small through midweek, with the swell picking up a little. By Thursday the 23rd and Friday the 24th, we’re looking at 3ft to 4ft from the SSE, with a period around 9-10 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 300-440 (moderate). The winds are light and cross-offshore, so the conditions will be good. A solid little run of clean, surfable waves.
The standout window is around Monday the 29th of July and especially Friday the 31st. On the 29th, we get a 2ft swell from the SSW with a very long period of 20 seconds and a combined energy of 656 (strong). The wind is cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean. This is a proper groundswell – long period like that means real shape and power, and at a point break like Ninja's, that’s a beautiful thing.
The real beast looks like it could be Friday the 31st of July. The swell jumps to 6ft from the SSW, with a period of 20 seconds and a combined energy reading of 2702 (very strong). That’s a lot of power. The wind is cross-offshore and clean. This is for the experienced crew only – 6ft with that much energy is meaty. It’s a long-range forecast, so promising but not locked in. The best of the best is likely that Friday the 31st, with the morning of the 29th being a close second.
If you’re a beginner, stick to the smaller days around the 21st to 24th. When that 6ft swell hits on the 31st, it’s a lot of wave. Crowds are often at Ninja's, so expect company on the good days.
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.
