The Lowdown
Alright, grab your coffee. Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Ditch Plains.
Honestly, it’s a rough stretch ahead. For the next several days, we’re staring at a lot of poor surf conditions and tiny, weak energy. The first bit of genuine surfable waves doesn’t really show up until Friday morning, the 11th, and even then it’s only 2ft of straight-up wimpy swell from the S with a short 6-second period. The combined energy is weak at 43 (low numbers), so it’s going to feel like a lake with a bump. The wind is offshore from the NNW though, so it will be clean. Don’t get your hopes up.
We then hit a real dead zone. From Saturday the 12th through to Wednesday the 16th, the swell is consistently under 3ft with poor winds and chop. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no shock there. There’s one small blip on Monday afternoon the 14th, but it’s onshore and poor.
Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th get hammered by fresh to strong cross-onshore winds, making everything lumpy and messy. Not worth paddling out.
The only thing worth mentioning for a true standout is far away. On Tuesday the 22nd of September, late in the afternoon, we see a pulse of 5ft swell from the ESE with an 8-second period. The combined energy jumps to 396 (moderate energy), so it has a bit of push. But the wind is a moderate cross-onshore, so it’s going to be choppy and not the clean Ditch we dream of. It’s powerful, but it’s a messy, expert-only affair (over 5ft). If you’re a beginner, stay out of the water that day.
That same ESE swell hangs around through the 23rd and 24th, still cross-onshore and lumpy. The morning of the 24th is garbage with cloudy skies and a gentle cross-onshore. The afternoon of the 24th actually turns clean with a light cross-off from the N and still 3ft of ESE groundswell (10-second period). That’s your best chance for a clean, ridable wave in the whole outlook, but it’s still just okay.
Bottom line: a long, frustrating wait with only a couple of half-decent windows. The good news is that mid-to-late September can still fire, so keep an eye on the forecasts. For now, it’s a lot of sitting on the beach.
Rusty.

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.
