Table - best surf conditions forecast for Ditch Plains over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here, lookin’ at the bones for Ditch Plains for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a bit of a slow start, so don’t rush to wax up just yet.
Right off the bat, the first few days are a write-off. Tuesday, the 7th, is a total no-go with a nasty onshore wind and a weak, messy 3ft swell from the ESE. The water’s sitting at 68°, pretty much spot on for this time of year, nothing special there. We then hit a quiet patch through the rest of the week and into the weekend. From Wednesday afternoon all the way through to Tuesday the 15th, most sessions are either tiny, blown out, or both. The combined energy in the water is mostly pretty weak (well under 100), meaning there's just not enough push to do much with. It’s a bit of a drought.
We finally see a little flicker of life on Wednesday morning, the 15th. It’s a glassy morning with a light 3ft SSW groundswell rolling in. The energy ticks up to 117 (moderate), and those clean, glassy conditions will make it look better than it is. It’s surfable, but not a standout. Keep it on the radar if you’re desperate.
Now, for the real news. The window to circle on your calendar is Monday morning, the 20th of July. This is the one. We’ve got a solid 8ft swell from the South with a longer 10-second period. The combined energy is a massive 1160 (very strong). That’s a serious amount of water moving, and it will be too much for beginners. The wind is forecast to be light from the West, keeping those lines clean. This is legitimately excellent surf for experienced surfers. It’s a long-range call, so keep an eye on it, but if this holds, it’s the best on offer by a country mile.
After that peak, Tuesday the 21st cleans up a bit with a smaller 4ft swell and glassy conditions, making for a nice, clean session for the intermediates. The rest of the period into the 22nd fades back into smaller, cross-shore chop.
To sum it up: sit tight through a long flat spell, then get ready for a big, powerful South swell on the morning of the 20th if you’ve got the skills. Tuesday the 21st is your next best bet for something clean and fun.
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.
