The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's coming up for Ditch Plains over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we've got a quiet spell. The first real surfable day isn't until Sunday the 19th, so we're looking at a gap of a few days of small, messy, or clean but tiny surf. Nothing to get excited about.
The first bit of action arrives on Sunday the 19th. It's not a classic, but it's a start. We're looking at ankle to knee-high waves from the SSE, around 3 feet. The morning has a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE, and the afternoon goes glassy with a light S wind. The combined energy is weak (71-86), so it's a "get the cobwebs out" session, not a standout.
The surf picks up a bit on Tuesday the 22nd of July. The morning shows a 4-foot swell from the S with a period of 9 seconds, but an ENE cross-shore wind keeps it a bit choppy. The combined energy is moderate (231). The afternoon is smaller (4 feet) and still a bit onshore from the E. It's surfable, but not the pick of the fortnight.
The standout window really starts shaping up for the last week of July. Keep your eyes on Tuesday the 28th of July. The morning is pure magic. A clean 5-foot S swell (period 8 seconds) with a light cross-offshore breeze from the WSW. The combined wave energy is a solid 408, which is moderate but punchy. This is the best-looking swell of the whole window, and with those light winds, Ditch Plains is going to be clean and lined up. Expect some crowds though, as it's described as "often" busy.
Following that, Thursday the 30th of July is another beauty. The morning is glassy with a SSW wind, and the swell is holding at 5 feet from the S with an 8-second period. The energy is a solid 368. This is a close second to Tuesday, and if you miss the 28th, this is your backup. The later part of the 28th afternoon gets a bit blown out, so hit the mornings.
So, to sum it up: there's a long wait until the 19th for small waves, but the real pay-off is the last week of July. The 28th and 30th of July mornings are the true standouts. Get out there.
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.

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.
