Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ditch Plains over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here, let’s talk about what’s brewing for Ditch Plains.
First thing’s first: we’re in for a long dry spell. From Thursday the 9th all the way through to the morning of Saturday the 18th, there’s basically nothing worth paddling out for. Big gap. The water is sitting at 67°, which is a touch cooler than normal for July.
The first chance of a wave comes on Saturday morning, the 18th. A 7ft south swell rolls in, but it’s got a short period of 6 seconds. The wind will be offshore from the west at 12 mph, so it’ll look clean. That short period means the waves will be a bit weak and sloppy. The energy is moderate at 280. It’s a maybe, not a yes.
The real bright spot? Monday morning, the 20th. That’s the one to aim for. A 3ft south swell with an 8-second period. The wind turns light offshore from the north at 6 mph, making for glassy, clean conditions. The energy is moderate at 223. This is the best surf in the whole outlook. It’s not a classic big day, but with that glassy surface, you’ll find some clean little walls.
Tuesday morning the 21st is also worth a mention if you’ve got a longboard. It’s glassy calm with the wind from the east at just 3 mph. The swell is only 3ft from the south-southeast, period 7 seconds, energy 102. Small and weak, but glassy is glassy, and that’s a rare treat.
After that, from the 22nd onward, it’s back to messy cross-shore winds and lumpy conditions. Nothing worth getting up early for. The swell stays small and the wind keeps it ugly.
So, the standout is Monday morning, the 20th at Ditch Plains. It’s not a big swell, but it’s clean and rideable. Just know that Ditch can get crowded often, so get there early.
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.
