Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what’s comin’ our way for the next couple weeks. We got some dribbles here and there, but mostly it’s gonna be a waiting game until the middle of the month.
We’re starting off weak. Thursday and Friday have small, short-period swell in the ankle-to-knee high range, but the wind ain’t doing us any favors, especially Thursday afternoon when it’s howling. The water’s a bit colder than normal at 65°F – about a degree and a half off the average for this time of year.
The first real surfable moment shows up on Wednesday, July 8th, but it’s ordinary. That afternoon though, things get interesting. The wind goes glassy at Ditch Plains, and we get a clean 4ft wave from the SSE. It’s not huge, but that glassy surface is a major plus. The combined energy is moderate, so there’s enough to push you around.
Thursday the 9th is clean again in the morning with a light offshore, but the swell drops off to 3ft.
The whole first week is pretty flat and messy, with onshore winds and small, crummy waves.
Then we get to the real story. Saturday, July 11th is the standout in this whole period. The morning is a beast – 8ft of SSW groundswell with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is massive—strong, heavy water. The wind is clean offshore from the WNW. That’s a big, powerful wave that will only be for the experts. The afternoon is no slouch either, dropping to a still-chunky 5ft with a clean, offshore breeze. Expect crowds, because this spot gets busy often.
Sunday the 12th morning goes glassy but the swell drops right back to 3ft. Monday the 13th also has a glassy, small morning.
The next real highlight is on Wednesday, July 15th. Another solid pulse of SSW groundswell at 6ft with a combined energy that’s moderate to strong. And here’s the kicker: clean offshore wind from the W. This is proper A-frame potential, and the forecast is calling for very good surf conditions. The morning will be the window. After lunch, the wind swings cross-shore and the quality drops right off.
After that, we fade into small, onshore slop for the final few days with nothing to recommend.
### The Takeaway
The best of the bunch is Saturday, July 11th afternoon for a clean, solid overhead swell, and Wednesday, July 15th morning for a classic offshore session. Don't get your hopes up for the first week.
Stay patient, and I’ll catch you in the water.
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.
