Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down Ninja's in feet and miles per hour.
This is a reef break, exposed to the south swell. Water temp is about normal for the time of year. The whole 16-day stretch starts off slow. From July 12th through the 14th, the swell is small – around 3ft to 4ft from the south, with a cross-off breeze at 15-25 mph. The wave energy is moderate (318 to 705). Not much to write home about.
The first real standout hits on Wednesday, July 15th. The swell is around 3ft, but the period jumps to 15-16 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell. The combined energy is 570 (moderate), and the wind is light and cross-off, giving you clean, lined-up waves. For a reef, that long-period swell is perfect. The morning of the 15th is the pick of the bunch.
Clean conditions hold through the 16th and 17th, with the swell dropping to 2ft to 3ft, and the period staying in the 14-second range. The wind is light. It’s not huge, but it’s quality.
A lull hits around July 18th and 19th, with shorter period (9 seconds) and cross-shore winds. The energy drops to 170-258. Not good.
From July 20th to the 22nd, it’s messy – inconsistent swell, cross winds, and poor quality.
The next standout is on July 23rd. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the SSE, with a period of 10-11 seconds. The combined energy hits 684-707 (moderate), and the wind is light and cross-off. That’s fun, clean size. The 24th and 25th are also solid, with 5ft to 5ft from the SSE and SE, and clean conditions. The 25th morning looks particularly good, with a combined energy of 725 and light offshore wind.
The very end of the run, July 27th, shows a big energy spike at 1091, with a 20-second groundswell from the SSW. But the wind is cross-shore, and the report says "marginal" – so it’s a tease, not a sure thing.
The two best bets: Wednesday, July 15th morning, for the clean, long-period groundswell. And Thursday, July 23rd morning, for the bigger, punchier swell with light winds. Those are the sessions to plan for.
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.
