Diggers Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Diggers. It’s a bit of a slow burn, but there’s a couple of windows that’ll get the heart pumping.

The first few days are a write-off, honestly. Thursday the 30th is a no-go with weak, short-period swell and messy cross-off winds. We’re looking at a flat spell until the real action kicks in.

The standout is Friday morning, July 31st. The south swell jumps to a solid 5.6 ft, with a 12-second period, and the combined energy is pumping hard at 1186. That’s strong wave energy. The wind is a gentle cross-off from the SSW, keeping things clean. This is excellent for experienced surfers, but at 5.6 ft, it’s pushing into the too-big-for-beginners zone. The swell direction from the south is a good match for the spot’s optimum SE direction. This is the pick of the whole run.

Saturday morning, August 1st, also has some grunt with a 6.2 ft south swell and a combined energy of 1152, but the wind is stronger and the conditions are a bit more marginal. Still, for the hardy, there’s power there.

After that, the swell backs off significantly. We get a long gap from Sunday the 2nd through to the 10th where it’s mostly small, weak, and riddled with onshore or cross-onshore winds. A few glassy moments pop up, like Thursday morning, August 6th, with a tiny 2.3 ft swell, but the energy is negligible (129). It’s surfable, but don’t expect much.

Things get interesting again around Tuesday the 11th. The morning session sees a 3.3 ft ESE swell with a clean cross-off wind from the west. The combined energy is 227, and the forecast says “expect good surf conditions.” That’s a solid, fun-sized morning.

And then, the real hidden gem looks like Thursday morning, August 13th. It’s small, only 3.0 ft, but the period is a juicy 13 seconds from the east, the water is glassy with a slight air, and the combined energy is 313. The forecast is for good surf conditions. That’s a long-period groundswell, so it’ll be ramping up nicely at the point, offering proper shape and clean lines. The water temp is 67.1°, which is about average for this time of year.

So, to wrap it up: Friday morning, July 31st, is the big one for the experienced crew. For cleaner, more user-friendly waves, keep an eye on Thursday morning, August 13th.
