The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, calling it like I see it.
The next 16 days at Ditch Plains are a tough stretch. The finder’s showing a long, flat, and blown-out run. For the first nine days, from Saturday the 25th of July through Sunday the 2nd of August, there’s just nothing worth getting wet for. Small, weak waves, cross-onshore winds, and chop. The water’s 68°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year.
The first real chance to score anything comes on Monday the 3rd of August. Monday morning, the wind goes light and almost glassy out of the north, cleaning everything up. The swell is 4ft from the SSE, with a 9-second period. The combined energy is moderate, at 268. It’s the only window in the whole forecast where the wind and swell line up. It’s a pretty consistent break, but you’ll have company – crowds are often here.
After that Monday morning, it’s back to the struggle. The afternoon turns marginal with a cross-shore breeze, and by Tuesday the 4th of August, the onshore winds ruin it again. The rest of the second week is a mix of tiny, weak swells and poor wind, except for a brief moment on Friday the 7th of August when a light offshore from the WNW cleans up a 2ft swell. It’s small and weak, with only 48 energy. Surfable, but nothing to write home about.
The absolute standout is the Monday morning of the 3rd of August. That 4ft swell from the SSE with that clean, light offshore wind is the only real quality session in the entire 16-day window. Don’t sleep on it, but be ready for the crowds.
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.
