Ninja's Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk about what’s in store for Ninja’s. This is a reef setup, exposed to the swell, and it's got that optimum direction from the south, which lines up nicely with what we’re seeing. It’s a fairly consistent spot, but crowds are often around, so you might have to share the takeoff zone.

Right now, it’s a bit of a slow start. Sunday the 9th is looking marginal with a 5ft SSE swell and a cross wind, so nothing to get excited about. Monday afternoon the 10th is the first real spark – we get a clean, cross-off wind, with a nice long-period 20-second S swell. The wave energy is moderate (843), but the period is long, so at a reef break like this, the shape should be good. That’s a solid option for a Monday session.

Tuesday the 11th keeps things clean in the morning with a similar 5ft SSE swell, but a storm risk could mess with the afternoon. Wednesday and Thursday stay in the marginal zone, though Thursday morning looks clean again with a 5ft SSE swell.

Here’s where it gets interesting. Tuesday the 18th afternoon is the big standout. We’re looking at a solid 7ft SSW swell with a very long 18-second period. The wave energy is strong (2504) and the wind is clean and cross-off. This is expert territory – that size and power will be too much for beginners, but for the experienced crew, it’s going to be firing. The long period at a reef break like this is a dream scenario.

Then Wednesday the 19th morning offers a slightly smaller but still excellent option: a 4ft SW swell with a 16-second period, light wind, and clean conditions. That energy is still strong (1592). This one is a bit more manageable but still for competent surfers.

After that, the swell backs off through the end of the month. The last decent mention is Saturday the 22nd afternoon, with a clean 4ft S swell, but the energy is weak (352).

For the standout, I’m calling Tuesday the 18th afternoon. That combination of a solid 7ft SSW swell, very long period, and glassy offshore wind is the one to circle on the calendar. It’s a week and a half out, so keep an eye on it, but the signs are good.
