Alright, let's break it down. The start is a bit rough for Diggers, with a big southerly pulse that’s just gonna be too much for the spot. Water temp’s around 68°F, pretty normal for this time of year. That first weekend (July 4th and 5th) has small, short-period swell (8 seconds) and a light breeze—clean enough for a beginner on a foamie, with waves around 3ft to 5ft. Not blowing anyone’s mind, and the energy is weak to medium (424 down to 170).
Then it gets heavy. From Monday the 6th of July through Friday the 10th, a solid S/SSE swell hits, pushing 8ft to 10ft with moderate to strong energy readings (1029 up to a monster 3480). The wind is cross-off to offshore, which would be a dream, but the swell is just too big for Diggers—this is for the hardcore crew only. That whole stretch is a beast.
After that, we get a sweet little window on the weekend of the 11th and 12th. Saturday morning the 11th, the swell drops to a friendly 5ft from the SE with a clean 10-second period, light offshore wind, and only 436 energy units—that’s your best bet. But the real highlight is Sunday morning, the 12th of July. We’ve got tiny 3ft of ESE swell, a 10-second period, and dead glassy conditions with a north wind at just 3 mph. The water will be like a mirror. It’s weak, with only 203 energy units, but for a consistent, exposed spot like Diggers, those clean, tiny waves are perfect for a longboard. Expect crowds, as it’s often busy when it’s clean.
It goes flat and messy from Sunday afternoon the 12th through to Tuesday the 14th. Then from Wednesday the 15th of July onward, another big southerly pulse kicks in, with waves consistently over 7ft and up to 10ft. The wind holds offshore or cross-off, but it’s just too meaty for Diggers for the rest of the outlook—only for the brave or the big-wave guys.
So, if you’re not a beginner and you want a paddle, your window is that Saturday morning, the 11th of July. For the ultimate glassy session with a log, Sunday morning the 12th of July is the one to circle. For the rest, it’s either too small or way too big.

Information about the Diggers Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Diggers provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Diggers can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Diggers 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 (Diggers) 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 Diggers 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.
