Table - best surf conditions forecast for Diggers over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s switch to feet and such. Diggers is your consistent beginner-friendly spot, and the first real gem is Friday afternoon, July 10. Cloudy, light cross-off wind out of the SSE at 6 mph keeps it clean. Swell runs a solid 6 ft out of the SE with a 10-second period, moderate wave energy (738). Water temp around 68° – right where it should be for July. That’s the session to aim for – though at 6 ft it’s a bit much for true beginners; intermediate and up will have a blast.
Saturday morning, July 11, goes glassy with a light north breeze, 4 ft SE swell – clean and fun for a longboard but weaker (483 energy). After that, things get messy: Saturday afternoon turns cross-on choppy, Sunday small at 3 ft, then we bottom out to knee-high. Thursday July 16 morning offers another 6 ft pulse, this time from the SSE with offshore SSW wind at 12 mph, but only a 7-second period – punchy but short. Still worth a look if you don’t mind the short interval.
The second week is mostly weak and onshore – July 19 Sunday morning is clean with 4 ft ESE swell (259 energy) and light cross-off wind, but nothing special. After that, waves drop below 3 ft and winds turn iffy. No real standouts.
Bottom line: Friday July 10 afternoon is the one. Get on it.

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.
