The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Ninja's over the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a slow burner, but there's some real promise if you're patient.

We're kicking off on Wednesday, 5 August, and the first few days are pretty average. The water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothing wild there. We've got a long-period, 19-second groundswell coming in from the SSW at 3 feet, with moderate wave energy (1037). The wind is a cross-off from the W at 16 mph, which keeps things clean, but the overall conditions are just marginal – not really worth paddling out for. This swell direction from the S is right on the money for this spot though.

Thursday and Friday see the swell pick up a bit, hitting 5 feet, but the period drops right off, especially on Thursday afternoon with a short, weak 10-second wind swell (855). The wind shifts to a cross-shore, putting a chop on the surface, so it's a write-off. Saturday and Sunday stay in that 5-foot range with short periods and cross-shore winds – messy and not fun.

We finally get a bit of a break on Monday, 10 August. The swell drops right back to 2 feet, but the period jumps up to 21 seconds. That's some proper groundswell energy, and the wind goes light and cross-off, so it'll be glassy. It's still marginal, but the quality of the wave should be better for a patient surfer on a log.

The middle of the week, 11-15 August, is a long stretch of consistent, clean conditions with cross-off winds and a mix of SSE swell around 4 to 5 feet. The periods hover around 10-11 seconds, so not super long, but the consistency is there. The wave energy is moderate, dropping from the 700s down to the 400s by the 15th. It's all rated marginal, but the clean conditions mean you could get a few if you're not fussy. Crowds are often here, so expect company.

Now, the real standout is Tuesday, 18 August. The swell jumps to 5 feet from the SSW with a solid 18-second period, and the wave energy rockets up to 1438 – that's strong. The wind is light and cross-off from the W, promising absolutely clean, glassy conditions. This is described as excellent for experienced surfers, and with that size and power, it's definitely one for the crew who know what they're doing. Wednesday the 19th keeps the quality going in the morning with similar 5-foot S swell and 17-second period, but the energy is even higher at 1658. Another cracker session for the experienced.

That Tuesday 18th and Wednesday 19th run is the best on offer – proper, powerful, long-period groundswell hitting that optimal S direction, with perfect light winds. Don't sleep on it.

There are no gaps in the forecast, just a few days of poor conditions before it cleans up.

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.
