Hey, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Budeo over the next couple of weeks. The water’s sitting at 64°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – nice for a long session. This reef breaks consistent, exposes to SW swell, and crowds tend to be around often, so expect company when it’s good.
First few days aren’t firing. Tuesday July 7 and Wednesday July 8 have small 2.3ft to 3.6ft SW swell with cross or cross-on wind, making for messy, marginal waves. Not worth getting wet. Thursday July 9 morning stays cross-on, but Thursday afternoon turns glassy – 3.3ft SW, 15s period, moderate energy (542). Clean but nothing special. Friday July 10 morning is glassy too, 3.3ft SW, 13s period, energy (549) – still modest but rideable. Saturday July 11 morning glassy, but only 2.6ft SSW, 13s; small and clean. Afternoon gets cross-on.
Now, the first real standout: Sunday July 12 morning. Glassy conditions, 3.6ft SW swell with a 15s period – that’s proper groundswell, long lines, and the energy’s moderate at 605. Budeo’s a reef so it’ll handle the long period fine. Clean, consistent, and chest-high. This one’s worth the early paddle. Crowds will be busy.
Monday July 13 morning still glassy but drops to 2.6ft; okay for a quick session. Tuesday July 14 and Wednesday July 15 are mostly cross-on and marginal, tiny bumps. Thursday July 16 morning goes glassy again with 3.

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