The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get real about what’s happening at Ninja's over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, the first week and a half is a write-off. There’s a long stretch of marginal conditions with cross-off and cross-shore winds making a mess of things. The only real bright spot is right at the tail end of the forecast, so don’t get too excited about this week.

Monday 14th starts off with a SSW swell around 3ft in the morning, bumping to about 5ft in the afternoon. That 17-second period gives it some deep ocean energy, but the wind is howling at 22 mph from the west, creating a messy cross-off. The combined energy is moderate to strong (872-1103). Add in the risk of thunderstorms and it’s just not worth it.

Tuesday 15th and Wednesday 16th keep that same story going – SSW swells around 3ft to 4ft with 14 to 16-second periods, but still with strong cross-off winds. Conditions are poor to marginal. Leave the board at home.

Thursday 17th drops right off with tiny 2ft SW to SSW swell and moderate cross-off breeze. Wave energy is weak (363-440). Not a paddling day.

Friday 18th sees a small bump in the afternoon to about 4ft on a 17-second SSW swell, giving a decent energy reading (1122). But the wind is cross-shore, kicking up a chop. Still marginal.

Saturday 19th is the first semi-interesting day. The morning brings a solid 7ft SSW groundswell with a 16-second period, and a cross-off breeze out of the WSW at 16 mph. The combined energy jumps to 1935 – that’s strong. The morning looks clean, but it’s big enough for experienced surfers only. Not a beginner day. By the afternoon it drops to about 6ft.

From Sunday 20th through Saturday 26th it’s a flat, inconsistent stretch. Swell heights bounce from 2ft to 4ft, periods are all over the place, and the wind is either cross-shore or cross-off. Scores are zero or marginal. The water temperature is about average for the time of year.

Now, Sunday 27th – this is the real standout. The morning has a clean 4ft S groundswell with a 19-second period – that’s a very long period, so the waves will have real shape and power. Wind is light from the west at 9 mph, cross-off, and conditions are clean. The combined energy is strong at 1144. This is the best session of the whole outlook. The swell direction isn’t dead-on optimum for Ninja's, but with that period and clean conditions, it’s the pick. Expect crowds.

Monday 28th keeps the run going. The morning sees a 4ft SSW groundswell, 16-second period, with a light offshore wind from the NW at 9 mph. Clean conditions and very good surf potential (925 energy). Afternoon drops to about 3ft but stays clean.

Tuesday 29th tails off with a small 3ft SSW swell and 14-second period, but still light cross-off breeze. Clean but small.

So here’s the bottom line: forget the first 12 days. The real window is Sunday 27th and Monday 28th September – those mornings are your best bet. Clean, long-period groundswell, real energy. Get on it.

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.
