The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down the Ditch Plains forecast.
We're looking at a real dry spell to start. From now until Tuesday the 18th, the surf is basically dead. There's a big gap of a week and a half with nothing worth paddling for. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, and the wave energy is all weak. Just a bunch of short-period windswell and poor conditions. Don't even bother.
The first real chance of a wave comes on Wednesday morning, August 19th. We finally get a pulse of energy. Wave heights will be around 5ft from the south, with a 7-second period. The combined energy hits 215 (moderate), and the wind is light and cross-offshore, making for clean conditions. It's not world-class, but after a long flat spell, it's something to look forward to. The afternoon gets a little lumpy, so the morning is your best bet.
After that, it drops off again. Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st are back to small, weak waves with choppy winds. So, that Wednesday morning is your only real highlight, but it's a long way out, so don't lock it in just yet.
Short story: a whole lot of waiting for one decent morning session. That's the Ditch Plains game sometimes.
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.
