The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, this time in feet and the old scale.
Looking at Ditch Plains, it’s shaping up to be a quiet stretch. Don’t expect much for the next week or so. The swell is tiny, mainly around 1 to 2 ft from the SE, and the wind is often messing it up. There’s a long dry spell from late August into early September where it’s really not worth suiting up. The wave energy is weak, mostly low numbers (36-89), meaning a lot of junk out there.
The one time things look promising is on the morning of Monday, 7 September. We get a solid bump to around 4-5 ft from the S, with moderate wave energy (285). The wind goes NNW and offshore, setting up clean conditions. That’s your best bet, no question. The afternoon holds near that size, but the wind shifts cross-off, so the morning is the call.
For beginners, that 4-5 ft might be a bit much. For the rest of the time, it’s mostly under 2-3 ft and messy.
Water temp is 71°, which is right about normal for this time of year.
One standout: Monday morning, 7 September. Swell from the S at 4-5 ft, clean offshore wind. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. Other than that, it’s a quiet stretch.
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.
