Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, and I’ve got your Ditch Plains outlook.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: it’s a tough stretch. We’re looking at a 16-day window, but the first several days are a write-off. There’s nothing worth paddling out for from the 5th right through to the morning of the 8th. The winds are howling, the swell is messy, and the ocean just looks angry.
Wednesday morning the 8th is the first time we get a sniff of something. The wind goes light and clean out of the NE, but the swell is tiny at 3ft from the east. The combined energy is weak (93). It’s surfable, but you’ll be scratching for anything decent. Honestly, it’s a day for the longboard if you’re desperate.
The rest of that week and into the next is a real mix of average conditions. We get a few windows of clean conditions – like Friday morning the 10th with a light offshore from the NNW and 3ft of SSW swell, or that Friday afternoon with a clean offshore from the NW. But the swell just doesn’t have any punch. The best of a bad bunch is probably Saturday the 11th afternoon. The swell bumps up a little, with a 3ft S swell and a period of 9 seconds, giving a combined energy of 146. It’s not going to blow your mind, but it’s the most energy we see for a while. The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit bumpy. Expect a few others out there, as crowds are often an issue here.
There’s a small spike in size around Monday afternoon the 6th, with 8ft from the east, but it’s accompanied by 25 mph onshore winds and heavy rain. That’s a mess. It’s interesting for the wind sports crew, but not for us.
As we push into the second week, the pattern stays pretty flat. The 17th shows some promise on the Friday morning with clean 3ft waves from the south under a light offshore breeze. It’s the most hopeful looking day in that second week, but the energy is still low. The water temperature is sitting around 67°, which is about average for the time of year.
Honestly, if you’re locked in on Ditch Plains, you’re going to be doing a lot of waiting. There’s no standout swell on the immediate horizon. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because things can change, but right now, it’s a lot of small, wind-affected surf.

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.
