Ninja's Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s see what’s coming down the line.

First real swell shows up Wednesday morning, July 8th, but it’s a weak start. Ninja’s is a reef break that breaks fairly consistently, but the early days are small and nothing special. The best of the whole 16-day window lands on Monday, July 13th. Swell builds to 4ft from the S with a period around 10 seconds, and the wind is cross-off from the W at 9 mph. That’s clean, punchy, and the combined energy hits 578 – that’s moderate wave energy with some push. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, but at this size it’s fine for someone with a bit of experience. Water temp is 84°, about average for the time of year.

For the rest of the first week, swell runs 2ft to 4ft, mostly from SSW or S, with periods between 12 and 15 seconds. Winds are cross-off from the WNW, mostly light at 9 mph, so waves are clean but small. Friday July 10th looks like a decent little session with 3ft SSW swell and light offshore wind – nice for a longboard or fun shape.

Into the second week, the standout is Wednesday July 15th. We get a 3ft swell from the SW with a period hitting 16 seconds – that’s long-period groundswell with nice shape and energy, combined energy of 632. Wind is cross-off from the W at 9 mph, glassy. The reef will handle that long period well. It’s a good call but it’s a week out, so keep it on the radar.

There’s a rough patch from Saturday July 18th onward – small, messy, cross-on swells and poor conditions. Not much to get stoked on.

The pick of the run? Monday July 13th at Ninja’s. Clean, solid S swell, cross-off wind, moderate energy. Wednesday July 15th is a close second – that long period is a beauty but it’s smaller.

Take it easy out there.

Rusty.
