Alright, Rusty here again, same story, just in feet and miles for you.
Looking at the whole 16-day window for Ditch Plains, it’s a tough stretch. There’s really no standout surf on offer for most of the period. The first decent look doesn’t even come until Thursday the 23rd of July, and even that’s pretty marginal. That means there’s a long gap of almost two weeks with nothing worth getting wet for.
So, let’s break it down. From Wednesday the 8th of July through to Wednesday the 22nd of July, the surf is mostly small and weak, with a lot of cross-shore or onshore wind messing things up. You’ll see a lot of readings in the 20 to 100 range for combined swell energy, which is just weak to moderate, and none of it delivers the quality you’d want. The water temperature doesn't have a specific anomaly given, so let’s just say it’s about average for July.
The one bright spot—and I’m using that term loosely—shows up on Thursday the 23rd of July morning. We’ve got a bit of a pulse from the south at 3 feet, with a 7-second period. The wind goes offshore from the northwest (9 mph), which will clean things up. Combined energy is still low at 68, so it’s only weak, but it will be the best we see in this whole outlook. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. For a more experienced surfer, it might be a fun little session on a longboard if you’re really keen, but don’t expect much.
Because this swell is small (under 5 feet), it’s fine for beginners, but with a period of only 7 seconds, those waves will be a bit weak and crumble fast. The break itself at Ditch Plains is a reef setup, exposed to swell, and it’s fairly consistent. Crowds are often here, so expect company even on a small day like this.
Basically, if you’re not desperate, save your energy. This is a near-blank run, and that’s not super unusual for the area in summer. Forecasts can change, but as it stands, the 23rd is your only real shot, and it’s nothing to write home about.
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.
