The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's call it like it is: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty sad for the most part. We're looking at a long stretch of small, weak waves with lousy wind for the next nine days, from Friday the 4th through Saturday the 12th of September. Water temp is a normal 69°, so at least you won't be shivering while you're staring at whitecaps.
Now, there is one little flicker of life. The first real standout comes on Monday the 14th of September. The swell pushes up to 5ft from the Southwest, with a combined energy of 165 – that's moderate, it's actually got some push. Looking at the options, Ditch Plains is the only spot in the game. It's a reef break, fairly consistent. Monday morning is your best bet: light WNW winds, clean conditions, and that 5ft Southwest swell. The period is short at 6 seconds, so it'll be a bit of a close-out on the sets, but it's the best we've got in this whole run. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so it should be reasonably clean. Just know, crowds are often an issue here, so get out early if you want a peak to yourself.
That's it. One single morning of hope in a sea of nothing. After Monday the 14th, it's back to tiny 1ft dribble and onshore winds. There's a small window on the 10th of September with a clean 5ft swell from the SSW and strong offshore winds, but the energy is moderate and the period is short, so it's a bit of a gamble. Honestly, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of this period.
Keep your eyes on the charts, but for now, this is a flat spell for the books.
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.
