Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ditch Plains over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break down the 16-day forecast for Ditch Plains. It's a tough outlook, with a few small windows of hope buried in a lot of flat, messy conditions.
The first real chance to get wet is Friday the 10th. The morning is your best bet early on, with a clean 2ft swell from the S and a light offshore breeze. The combined energy is weak (43), so it's not a classic, but it's a start. The afternoon sees a bump to 2ft, but the wind is cross-off, and energy is still low (63). It's surfable, but nothing to write home about.
Then we hit a massive dry spell. From Saturday the 11th right through to Monday the 20th, it's a long stretch of poor conditions. Tiny waves, cross-shore winds, and minimal energy. A couple of mornings will be glassy, like Wednesday the 15th with a clean 3ft SSW swell (57 energy), but it's just not enough to get excited about. The water temp is 67°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year.
The one and only standout is Tuesday the 21st. The forecast shows a sudden jump in size. The morning brings a solid 6ft swell from the ESE (235 energy), and by the afternoon, it's pumping with an 8ft SSE swell and a massive 728 energy reading. That's strong energy. The break is an exposed reef, so this will be a powerful, proper swell. But the wind is cross-onshore and choppy, so the surface won't be perfect. At that size, it's for experts only. The swell direction is SSE, which is right in the sweet spot for Ditch Plains. This is the best on offer, but don't expect clean, glassy conditions.
The days after still have size (6ft and 4ft), but the wind stays messy with cross-onshore flow and even a risk of thunderstorms. The energy drops but remains moderate (534 and 285). Your best bet is definitely Tuesday the 21st, but you'll have to deal with the chop.
So, to wrap it up: a tiny, clean window on Friday the 10th, then a long, dry stretch, and a big, powerful but choppy swell on the 21st. That's the picture. The rest of the window is a bust. Keep an eye on things, but for now, that's the reality.
Rusty.
