Right then. The 16-day run starts off with nothing to get the heart racing. From Saturday the 4th through to Wednesday morning the 8th, it's a total write-off. Tiny, weak surf and messy winds.
Finally, on Wednesday morning, July 8th, we get a little something at Ditch Plains. We’re looking at a 3ft swell from the east, but with a short period of 7 seconds and weak energy (161). The wind is a light cross-offshore, so it’ll look clean, but the waves won't have any push. It's a real 'maybe I'll just have a look from the car park' kind of morning.
Another long stretch of poor conditions follows. The winds are all over the place, mostly cross or choppy, and the swell stays tiny with weak energy readings, all in the double digits. No power in the water.
The first real standout shows up on the morning of Saturday, July 11th. Same spot, Ditch Plains. We get a south swell of 4ft with an 8-second period. The combined energy is 214, finally getting into the moderate range. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the west-southwest at 15 mph. The water temp is about average for the time of year. It’s still only a 'marginal' call, but with clean conditions, it’s the best bet for miles.
Then, looking way ahead to the morning of Saturday, July 18th, we might get another shot. Ditch Plains again, with a 5ft south swell, 7-second period, and energy of 220. Clean cross-offshore wind again. That's a long way off though, so keep your expectations in check.
The bottom line is it's a pretty bleak outlook for Ditch Plains over the next two weeks. No big swells, no real windows of quality. The few moments that look half-decent are just that – half-decent. I'd be checking the forecasts closer to the time, but don't book the day off work just yet.

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.
