Table - best surf conditions forecast for Diggers over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Diggers (Western Australia). Water temp is about 68°F, which is normal for the season, so no funny business there.
The surf window opens Friday afternoon, July 31, with a clean 5ft SSE swell. It’s got moderate energy, and the cross-off wind keeps it tidy. Not a total standout, but a decent start for a beginner-friendly wave. The real treat is Sunday morning, August 2. That’s when we get a 5ft SE swell with a 9-second period, light cross-off wind, and clean conditions. The energy’s up a notch, and it’s shaping up to be very good. That’s your best bet for a fun, clean session this week.
Saturday morning, August 1, has a bigger 6ft S swell with strong energy, but that cross-off wind is a bit stronger, so it’s not as clean as Sunday. Still rideable, but Sunday’s the pick.
After that, the surf gets patchy. Monday through Wednesday see the swell drop and winds turn onshore or cross-on, making for poor conditions. There’s a brief window on Thursday morning, August 6, with a glassy 3ft SSE swell and a decent 11-second period, which could offer a few clean lines, but it’s nothing special.
From around August 8, the swell really fades, with most days offering tiny, choppy waves under 3ft. There’s a quiet spell from the 8th to the 15th where you’ll be lucky to find anything rideable. The odd glassy morning pops up, like Tuesday morning, August 11, with a 2ft E swell, but it’s small and weak.
The only other moment worth a mention is Friday morning, August 14, with a 3ft SSE swell and glassy conditions—but again, it’s small and the energy is low. So, for the second week, it’s a long stretch of tiny surf with only fleeting, marginal windows.
Overall, if you’re keen, hit Sunday morning, August 2. After that, it’s a waiting game for a proper pulse.

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.
