Diggers Beach is a scenic surf spot on the NSW Coffs Coast near Coffs Harbour (often associated with the mid-north coast/Banana Coast region). It’s a patrolled beach and a popular local break with a relaxed feel, backed by headlands, dunes, and coastal vegetation.

Surf characteristics

Wave type: Beach break
Best swell: Works well on east to northeast swells
Wind: Generally best with west to southwest offshore winds
Wave quality: Can offer fun, punchy peaks and occasional longer rides when sandbanks line up
Skill level: Usually beginner to intermediate on smaller days, but can get fast and hollow when swell picks up

Beach and setting

Long, attractive stretch of sand with a laid-back coastal atmosphere
Good views from the headlands and coastal walk
Close to Coffs Harbour, so it’s easy to access and often used by locals and visitors

Things to know

Conditions can change quickly because it’s a sand-bottom beach break
Rip currents can be present, especially when surf is bigger
It can get crowded on good days, particularly weekends and holidays
Great for surfers looking for a convenient, scenic beach break rather than a heavy reef setup
