The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Ditch Plains.
First up, the water temp is sitting at 67°, which is a couple of degrees colder than usual for this time of year. You’ll feel that chill.
Alright, look, I’m gonna be straight with you. The next week and a half is pretty grim for Ditch Plains. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead. The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Thursday the 23rd. That’s about a three-day gap of nothing worth paddling out for.
Thursday morning, the 23rd, that’s our one true standout. We get a clean 5ft swell out of the south, with a solid 9-second period pushing some energy into the lineup (combined energy of 490). The wind is offshore from the NNW, which is going to groom those waves into clean, workable lines. It’s not huge, but it’s surfable and the conditions will be good. Expect some company though, the crowds are often here.
After that morning window, it’s back to the ordinary. The wind swings around onshore and the swell drops off. From Friday the 24th all the way through to the end of the outlook on Tuesday the 4th of August, it’s a whole lot of nothing. The swell is small, period is short, and the wind is almost always cross or onshore, chopping things up. The wave energy is weak, often below 100 (like 60, 77, 20), so you’re just chasing scraps.
Honestly, for most of this, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The wind is up and the surf is junk. If you’ve got a kite, you might have some fun. For the rest of us, save your energy for that Thursday morning window.
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.
