G’day, Rusty here. Right, let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Ninja’s (reef). It’s a fairly consistent spot, exposed to the swell, and it picks up a southerly direction best. The water temp is sitting at 84°F, which is just about bang on average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.
We’ve got a bit of a wait on our hands for anything worthwhile. The first few days are pretty average—Tuesday the 7th and Wednesday the 8th only show small, 2ft to 3ft swells from the SW with a solid 14 to 15-second period, which is proper groundswell, and the cross-off winds will keep things tidy. But the energy is weak (388 and 313), so don’t expect much push. The forecast is calling them marginal, and I’d agree—not really worth paddling out for unless you’re desperate.
Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th see a bump up to 4ft and 3ft from the SSW, still long-period, and the combined energy climbs into moderate territory (613 and 487). Winds stay cross-off and light, which is a major plus for clean faces. Thursday morning is the pick of those two, with that moderate energy and decent shape.
Now, the first standout comes on Tuesday the 14th of July. Early morning we get a 5ft swell from the SSE, 11-second period, and a combined energy of 753—that’s solid moderate energy. Winds are light, cross-off from the west, and conditions are clean. The reef will handle that direction well, and it’s not too big for most surfers. This is the best session on offer by a fair margin. Expect some punchy lines with these longer-period waves, and it’s a reef, so the shape should be there.
There’s another promising window on Wednesday the 15th of July morning, with a 4ft SSE swell, 10-second period, and 582 energy. Still clean, still cross-off, and a solid option if you missed Tuesday.
After that, the quality drops off. From Thursday the 16th onwards the winds shift cross and cross-on, and a lot of the sessions are labelled poor or marginal. The swell sticks around the 2ft to 4ft range but period drops and the breeze churns things up. By the 19th and 20th it’s mostly cross-on slop—not worth a drive.
For the second week, the 22nd of July shows a small uptick: 3ft to 3ft from the SSE, 9 seconds, with cross-off winds and clean surfaces. The energy is low (204 to 228), so it’s a small wave option for a grovel, but nothing to get excited about.
Overall, the one to circle is Tuesday the 14th of July—morning session at Ninja’s. That’s your best chance at some proper, clean, moderate-energy surf. The rest is pretty average.
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.
