The Lowdown
Alright, let's cut through the noise. I've been looking at the charts for Ditch Plains and the next two weeks are a massive letdown. If you were hoping for some rides, you're going to be bummed. We've got a whole lot of nothing on offer.
The entire 16-day window is just small and weak. The first few days are ankle-snappers, with waves barely reaching 1ft. There are moments where the wind is good, like Monday morning with a clean offshore, but with no swell behind it, it's just a glassy pond. The water temperature is pretty normal for this time of year, but that's the only thing that's normal about it.
The only period that shows any pulse is around Wednesday, September 9th. We see the swell pick up to around 4-5ft, but the wind is howling onshore and it's going to be a chaotic mess. The following day the wind cleans up, but the swell is still wonky with a short period, making it hard to catch. That's your "best" bet, and it's not good.
From there, it's a slide back into flatness. The second week is completely forgettable. From September 14th onward, we're looking at waves under 2ft, with mostly cross-shore winds chopping things up. The swell energy reading is pitiful, stuck in the low double digits. Even when it gets clean in the mornings, there is no power in the water.
For a spot that's usually fairly reliable, this is a grim stretch. But this kind of flat spell never lasts forever. Forecasts can shift. For now, I'd leave the board in the car and maybe bring a fishing rod. There's just nothing to surf here.
Rusty out.

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.
