The Lowdown
Rusty here again, same forecast but in feet and miles for those who think that way.
Ditch Plains is looking tough for the next little while. Sunday the 19th is flat and frustrating – 2 to 3ft south swell with hardly any energy (58), and even with offshore wind, there’s nothing to ride. Monday morning the 20th might get you a 2ft wave with glassy conditions, but it’s barely surfable. Through the middle of the week, small swells and onshore winds keep things choppy and poor.
Wednesday the 22nd afternoon is the one that stands out – 7ft south swell with moderate energy (1285) and a clean cross-off wind. That’s a serious wave, but at that size it’s for experts only. If you’re not confident in big surf, give it a miss.
Thursday the 23rd morning brings a cleaner, smaller option: 4ft SSE swell, light wind, clean conditions. That’s the most approachable wave in the whole outlook for intermediate surfers.
From Friday the 24th right through to August 3rd, the swell drops way down. Most days are under 3ft with short periods and onshore wind. There are a few mornings with light offshore wind, like Sunday the 26th, but the waves are tiny. Not worth rushing out for.
Best bet: Wednesday the 22nd afternoon if you’re an expert, or Thursday the 23rd morning for a fun clean session. Otherwise, it’s a quiet stretch.
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.
