The Lowdown

Alright, let’s break this down. For the first week, the surf is small but clean, then a big pulse of energy shows up around the end of the month and into early August.

The first real standout is Ninja's (a reef setup, beginner-friendly, and fairly consistent spot). It starts cooking on the morning of Wednesday, 22 July. The swell is a modest 4ft from the SSE with a period of 9 seconds, and the wind is light and cross-offshore, giving you clean, tidy waves. The combined swell energy is moderate (254). This is a solid, low-stress option for the early part of the run.

It gets more interesting by the weekend. On the afternoon of Saturday, 25 July, the swell bumps up to 4ft from the SE, with a period of 11 seconds, and the combined energy hits 528 (moderate to strong). The wind is light from the west, keeping it cross-offshore and clean. That’s a sweet spot for this reef.

The big one, though, is the start of August. The action peaks on Monday, 3 August, with a very strong, long-period SW groundswell. The morning shows a combined energy of 1439 (very strong), with a 5ft swell from the SSW at 18 seconds. The wind is a bit cross-shore, but the afternoon cleans up: the energy jumps to 1985, and the wind goes cross-offshore, smoothing it out. That’s a big, powerful, very long-period groundswell, which is ideal for this reef. Expect powerful, peaky waves with long waits between sets. This is the one to circle on the calendar, but it’s for experienced surfers only. The 6ft and 5ft on Tuesday, 4 August, is also getting into expert territory.

For the first session mentioned, the water temperature is about average for this time of year, so no need to worry about a cold shock.

One thing to note: Ninja's can get crowded often, so plan your paddle-out accordingly, especially for that big August swell.

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.
