The Lowdown

Alright surfers, Rusty here with the outlook for the region. We’re looking at a bit of a slow start, but there’s some serious action brewing down the line if you’re patient.

First up, the water is sitting at a warm 84°, which is about normal for this time of year – no surprises there. Right now, and for the next few days, it’s pretty ordinary. A solid southerly swell is running, around 4 ft to 4 ft with a period around 10 seconds, giving us moderate wave energy (377), but the wind is a messy cross-shore breeze. It’s all chop and bump, so unless you’re keen on a frustrating paddle, I’d give Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th a miss. Monday the 17th stays average with similar winds and messy conditions.

Things finally start to change from Tuesday the 18th. That’s when we see a solid southwest groundswell arrive, pushing 6 ft to 7 ft with a long period of 18 seconds. The wave energy jumps right up (2519) and the wind ticks around to a light cross-offshore breeze, cleaning the lines right up. This is for experienced surfers only though, as that size (over 5 ft) will be too much for the beginners. That long period (over 15 seconds) means the wave faces will have excellent shape, but it might break a bit straight on the beach, so look for a corner. Wednesday the 19th is nearly as good with 5 ft swell and clean conditions, still a solid cross-off breeze.

Now, if you can wait, the real standout is looking like the end of the run. We’ve got a gap of a few days of smaller, cleaner but marginal surf through the end of the week. Then, around Friday the 28th of August, a big pulse of SSW swell kicks in, hitting 5 ft on the Friday afternoon and building to a solid 8 ft on Saturday the 29th. That’s a big southwest groundswell with a period of 18 seconds and wave energy going through the roof (4055). The wind stays in a cross-off or gentle offshore direction, which is a major positive. Again, this is expert-only territory, as anything over 8 ft is serious. The long period (over 15 seconds) at a beach break will mean long, walling sets with big gaps between them.

The second week has another push on Sunday the 30th with 6 ft to 6 ft SSW swell and clean winds, making for excellent conditions for those who know what they’re doing.

So, the best of the lot is definitely the Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th period. That’s a big, clean groundswell (4055 energy) with cross-offshore winds at Ninja's. It’s a reef break that is fairly consistent, so the shape should be on, but be aware crowds are often a factor here. The optimal swell direction is from the south, and this is coming from the SSW, which is close enough for a good result.

That’s the picture from here. Keep an eye on the sky, and don’t be a kook.

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.
