Ninja's Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let me break down what's coming our way over the next couple of weeks. The swell window is mostly open from the south, and we've got a solid run of groundswell lining up. The water's sitting about average for the time of year right now, nothing crazy.

We're looking at Ninja's, a reef break, and it's the only game in town. It picks up swell from the south, which is exactly where the juice is coming from. This spot is fairly consistent, so there's something to check most days, but watch out—it does get crowded often.

We kick things off Saturday the 29th with a clean little 2ft SSW groundswell, period a super long 20 seconds. The energy's moderate (668), but with a cross-offshore wind, the sets will be clean and lined up. It's not big, but that long period means those waves will have some shape. Sunday morning the 30th jumps to 6ft from the SSW with 19 seconds, and the energy is ramping up strong (2378). The wind turns a bit cross, putting a slight chop on it, so it's not as perfect.

Monday the 31st has a punchy 7ft SSW swell in the morning, still with a 16-second period. This is getting into the "too big for beginners" territory, but for experienced surfers on a reef, those 7ft sets will be offering up some power. The wind is cross-off and clean. The energy is very strong (2544).

Tuesday the 1st of September is where it gets fun. The swell drops to a manageable 4ft from the SW, 16-second period, and the wind is cross-off. The conditions are excellent for experienced surfers. That combo of moderate energy (1206) and glassy faces is a winner on this reef.

Wednesday the 2nd has a nice afternoon session. The swell picks up to 6ft from the south, period 14 seconds, and it's clean with light cross-off winds. The energy is strong (1330) and the conditions are excellent again for those who know what they're doing.

There's a lull in quality after that through the 3rd, 4th, and 5th. Thursday morning the 3rd is marginal with 4ft S swell and short 11-second period. Friday the 4th looks promising with a 5ft SSE swell, but the period is still a short 11 seconds. The morning is glassy, though, so it could be fun if you're not picky. Saturday the 5th is similar but with a 10-second period, so the waves will be less energetic.

We get another pulse of energy late in the second week. Wednesday the 10th of September morning brings a 4ft SW swell with a 16-second period, clean cross-off winds, and excellent conditions for experienced surfers on a reef. This is a solid pickup after the flat spell.

Then, looking into the 11th and 12th of September, we have a bigger SSW groundswell coming in at 7ft on Friday morning, with an 18-second period. The energy is very strong (2628), but the wind is a moderate 12 mph cross-off, so it'll be bumpy but surfable. This is for experts only at that size. It holds through the weekend.

The best bet? Hands down, the standout is Tuesday 1st of September. You have a clean, manageable 4ft SW swell, long 16-second period, cross-off wind, and glassy conditions on that reef. It's the most user-friendly, high-quality window we have.

If you're up for a challenge and have the skill, Wednesday the 2nd and the bigger sets on Monday the 31st of August and Friday the 11th of September are also calling, but they demand respect.

Stay safe out there.
