The Lowdown
Alright, let's have a look at what's coming for Ninja's over the next couple of weeks.
First off, Tuesday the 25th is a right-off—messy cross-onshore wind and tiny weak stuff. Wednesday the 26th afternoon cleans up nicely with a light offshore breeze and waves around 3 ft. Not big, but clean and rideable. Thursday the 27th morning pushes to 5 ft but the wind's crossing it up a bit. The real gold here is Thursday afternoon at Ninja's: 5 ft of SSW groundswell with a 15-second period, clean under a gentle offshore wind, and moderate energy (967). That's your first standout.
Friday the 28th drops off, and Saturday the 29th afternoon sees a spike to 4 ft with a long 19-second period and clean conditions. Still, the real highlight is Sunday the 30th morning—swell hits 6 ft with a 19-second period from the SSW, combined energy screaming at 2301, and the wind is offshore and glassy. This is big groundswell for experts only—long period means waves with serious push and long lulls. Crowds likely, but if you're skilled, this is the session. Monday the 31st stays solid around 5 ft and clean.
Into the second week, size drops. Tuesday September 1st and Wednesday the 2nd offer 4–5 ft surf but with a cross-breeze. From Thursday the 3rd through the 9th, waves hold around 4–5 ft but the period shortens to 9–11 seconds. Best of that run is Sunday the 6th morning with 5 ft and light offshore wind—clean and cruisy. Nothing huge, but fun.
The standout is clear: Sunday the 30th morning. Big groundswell, clean offshore, massive energy. Thursday the 27th afternoon is your next best bet for smaller clean waves.
Catch ya out there.

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.
