The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Ditch Plains over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you – this one’s a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with hardly any surf worth paddling out for. The first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t show up until Friday the 11th, and even then, it’s marginal.
We’ve got a real gap from now until then. Monday the 7th through Thursday the 10th are basically a write-off. Tiny, weak swell and poor conditions. Don’t bother waxing up.
Alright, Friday morning the 11th. A little pulse of S swell pushes in at 2 ft, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it’s gonna be weak and a bit fat. The wind is a light offshore from the NNW, which will keep the water clean. Still, the combined energy is only 48 – weak stuff. It’s surfable, but only just. You’ll be working for scraps.
The next little bump comes on Sunday the 13th. Morning sees some SSE swell at 3 ft, but again, it’s short period at 5 seconds. The wind is cross-shore from the SSW, creating a bit of chop. It’s not great, but it’s the best we’ve got in this window. The energy is still low at 72. After that, things just get messy again with building wind and lumpy, choppy conditions through the rest of the week.
Honestly, there’s no standout session here. The best bet is probably the early Friday the 11th session for the cleanest conditions, but you can’t expect much. If you’re desperate, Sunday morning the 13th offers a tiny bit more size, but with less clean conditions. Keep your expectations low. The water temp is sitting at a normal 70° for this time of year, so no drama there.
For the second week, from the 16th onward, it’s more of the same. A few weak pulses with onshore or cross-shore winds. Nothing to get excited about. It’s a rare blank run for this area, but it happens. The forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, I’d find something else to do.
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.
