The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next 16 days at Ditch Plains are a proper struggle. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with hardly any surf to get excited about. The forecast is pretty bleak, with nothing but poor surf conditions and tiny, weak waves for the vast majority of the period. It’s one of those times where the ocean just shuts down, and it’s a real test of patience.
The first real chance of anything surfable, and I mean barely surfable, shows up on Tuesday morning, the 4th of August. We’ve got a small 4ft swell from the S, with a short period of 8 seconds. The combined wave energy is weak at 191. But the real highlight here is the wind – it’s glassy, with a light WNW breeze. That’ll make the surface look like a mirror. It’s still tiny, but for a beginner or someone with a longboard, it might be worth a paddle. The water temp is a bit colder than normal for this time of year at 70°.
Wednesday morning the 5th is a similar story. A 4ft SSE swell, period still a short 8 seconds, energy dropping to 165. The wind is light WSW, making it clean. Again, it’s not going to be pumping, but it’s the best we’ve got.
After that, the surf really drops off. From Thursday the 6th through to the middle of the second week, it’s a whole lot of nothing. We’re talking swell heights under 3ft, periods as low as 6 seconds, and combined energy figures dropping into the double digits. Winds are mostly onshore or cross-shore, creating chop. It’s not surfable.
There’s a little flicker of life on Thursday morning the 13th and Friday morning the 14th. A tiny 3ft SSW swell and a 2ft S swell, respectively, with clean conditions and light offshore winds. The energy is still low, 53 and 54, but it’s clean. Then again on Saturday morning the 15th, we get a tiny 2ft S swell with glassy conditions and a NE breeze. These are the absolute best of a bad bunch, but they’re still just small waves for a log.
To be honest, nothing in this 16-day window stands out as a true standout. The best on offer is probably that Tuesday morning on the 4th, purely for the glassy conditions. If you’re desperate, Wednesday the 5th morning is a close second. But keep your expectations on the floor. It’s a quiet patch, and we just have to wait for the next system to kick in.
Rusty.

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.
