The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the first few days are a bit of a write-off. We’ve got some knee-to-waist high swell on the way, but the wind is just mucking it up. Thursday and Friday at Ninja’s are looking messy with that cross-shore breeze, so don’t get too excited. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild there.
Now, things start to perk up on Saturday the 5th. That morning looks like a real gem. The wind goes glassy, the swell is a clean 5ft from the SSE with a solid 10-second period, and the wave energy is moderate (392). It’s not huge, but it’ll be clean and fun. Saturday afternoon stays clean too, with a light cross-off breeze. Sunday the 6th keeps that glassy magic going, same size, same direction. These two days are your best bet early on for some uncrowded, smooth rides. This break is a reef setup, so it’ll handle that SSE groundswell well.
We hit a bit of a lull Monday and Tuesday, the swell drops a little, but the wind stays manageable. Then eyes on Thursday the 10th of September. The swell jumps up to 5ft – 5ft from the SSW, with a long period of 16 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, and the energy is strong (1585). The wind is a cross-off, so the waves will be clean. This is getting into the intermediate-to-advanced zone, but for the experienced crew, that Thursday and Friday morning (11th September) are looking like the standout of the whole forecast. The SSW direction is exactly what Ninja's wants.
Friday the 11th stays solid with 5ft swell and 16-second period, and the energy is even higher (1721). It’s a powerful, long-period swell heading straight for the reef. Just keep in mind, with that long period, sets will be less frequent but more powerful. Saturday the 12th is still pumping with 4ft from the SW, but the wind is up to 12 mph, so it’s not as perfect.
After that, the swell fades out through the second week, and the wind stays on it, making for a rough finish. The last few days from the 14th onwards look poor and a bit choppy, so I’d be looking at the weekend of the 5th-6th for smaller, clean sessions, and the 10th-11th for the bigger, more powerful stuff.
This is Rusty, signing off.

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.
