The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what we’ve got coming up.
Overall, it’s a quiet run for Ditch Plains. There are a couple of sessions that might be worth a look, but mostly you’ll be waiting for the right combo of swell and wind. The surf’s small and the energy’s low for long stretches.
Starting from now through the next several days, it’s mostly tiny. Wednesday the 4th and Thursday the 5th mornings have some clean conditions with offshore wind, but we’re talking waves around 1 to 2 feet. The combined swell energy is only 53 (weak), so it’s just not enough to get a proper ride.
Things perk up a bit on Wednesday the 9th of September. A SSW swell comes in, with the morning showing 4 feet and the afternoon hitting 6 feet. That’s the biggest surf of the forecast, but the wind is onshore and cross-onshore, so the waves are messy. Not going to be a clean session.
Your best bet is Thursday the 10th of September, morning session. That is the clear standout. Clean offshore wind from the WNW, a solid 5 foot SSW swell, and the combined energy is at 358 (moderate). The offshore breeze will keep the waves lined up and make for some proper walls. This is for intermediate or better – too much for beginners at that size. The afternoon drops to 3 feet and stays clean, but the morning is the one.
After that, it fades off into the second week. Mostly 1 to 3 feet surf with poor wind. There’s a small window on Tuesday the 15th afternoon with a gentle offshore and clean 2 feet, but it’s not going to set the world on fire.
Water temperature is about 70°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
So, here’s the word: if you’ve got one shot, make it the morning of Thursday the 10th of September. That’s your highlight. Everything else, you’ll be working hard for scraps.
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.
