Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for Ditch Plains over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, this is a lean spell. For the first few days, there’s nothing worth paddling out for – Thursday the 4th and Friday the 5th are a write-off with tiny, weak, messy slop. You’re looking at a gap of nearly three days with no real surf on the table.
Saturday the 6th sees a bump in size, but it comes with strong onshore winds and a short, chunky period. Swell hits 5ft by the morning and 6ft in the afternoon, but the period is only 5-6 seconds, so it’s all lumpy, wind-blown closeouts. The wave energy is moderate at 123 (morning) and rises to 200 (afternoon), but the wind is just destroying any chance of a clean wave. This setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, honestly.
Monday the 7th is the first real glimmer. Early in the morning, we get a glassy window with light easterly winds and a 3ft SSE swell at 7 seconds. The energy is moderate (105), and the conditions are described as glassy. It’s not going to be world-class, but if you want to get wet in clean, small waves, this is your shot. The wind switches later and kicks up, so get on it early.
After that, it’s a lot of average, choppy days. The swell sticks around the 2ft to 3ft mark for most of the week, with periods mostly under 8 seconds, and winds are mostly cross or cross-off. Friday the 11th has a clean, gentle offshore wind in the morning with a 3ft S swell, but it’s weak (76 energy) and the period is only 6 seconds, so it’s just small, ordinary surf.
Looking further out, Saturday the 19th – that’s the Saturday after next – has some potential. It’s a long-range call, so keep an eye on it, but the morning shows a 3ft S swell with a 7-second period, glassy light winds, and clean conditions. The energy is moderate at 118. It could be a sneaky little session if it firms up.
Overall, the standout is Tuesday morning, July 7th – that glassy, clean 3ft is your best bet in this run. For the rest, it’s small and ordinary. Crowds are often a thing at Ditch Plains, so expect company on the cleaner days.
Rusty.

Information about the Ditch Plains Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Ditch Plains provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Ditch Plains can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Ditch Plains 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 (Ditch Plains) 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 Ditch Plains 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.
