The Lowdown

Hey, it's Rusty again. Let's break it down in feet and miles per hour for you.

We're looking at just one spot for this whole stretch: Ninja's reef. It's a fairly consistent wave, so we'll get some action, but don't kid yourself—the first week is a grind.

Starting Thursday, August 6th, the swell is a measly 2ft from the S with a long 16-second period, giving us moderate energy (677). The wind is a problem, blowing 16 mph and making a mess of things. That pretty much sets the tone through to Monday the 10th. Swell sizes bounce from 2ft to about 5ft, mostly from the S or SSE, but the wind stays moderate and cross or cross-off. It's all pretty average. There's a big gap of mediocre days here.

Things clean up a bit on the 11th and 12th, but it's still nothing to rave about. We get a lull from the 15th to the 17th, with the swell dropping and the wind turning onshore. Not good.

Now, here's the payoff. The real standout window opens on Tuesday, August 18th. The wind gets light, and a new long-period SSW groundswell moves in. The peak is Wednesday morning, August 19th. We're looking at a solid 5ft swell from the SSW with a period of 16-18 seconds—that's proper groundswell with loads of energy (1353). The wind goes light and cross-off from the west, which means clean, glassy conditions. This is the stuff you wait for. Just be aware that long-period swell like this can be a bit tricky on beach breaks, but for a reef like Ninja's, it's perfect.

The water temp is about normal for the season. The only downside is this spot is "often" crowded, so expect some company for that peak session.

After that, the swell fades and the wind swings onshore again through the 20th and 21st. So the takeaway is simple: suffer through the first week, and be ready to go on Wednesday the 19th of August at Ninja's. It's a long-range call, so it's promising but not locked in.

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.
