Budeo Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's talk tides and wind, 'cause that's what's gonna make or break the next couple weeks.

We got a solid southwest swell running for a while, but the onshores are gonna be a pain. Most afternoons are gonna be blown out, so you gotta get up early. It's a game of picking the clean windows.

First real shot is this Saturday morning, the 12th. Swell is around 3ft from the southwest, but the period is a weak 8 seconds. The key here is the wind is glassy, flat calm. It’ll be clean, though a bit soft due to the short period. There's moderate energy (252), so it’s not dead. It might be a little weak, but for a fun little session, it'll be the best you'll get for a bit.

The mornings are the key. The afternoons are all chop.

Next clean window is Tuesday morning, the 15th. Swell is around 3ft from the southwest, but the period is a proper 14 seconds. That’s real groundswell. The combined energy is 464, which is a serious push. And it's glassy again. That long period will wrap around the point and with no wind, it should have some real power and shape. This is looking like the standout session of the whole period.

Wednesday morning, the 16th, looks similar. The wind is dead calm, zero. Swell is a bit smaller at 3ft and the period drops to 13 seconds. Energy is down to 238, so it's weaker, but still, glassy conditions at a reef will make it fun and rideable.

I'm not gonna lie, there's a lot of junk in between. Cross-onshore breeze and chop are the norm for most of the first week, especially the afternoons. Just forget about those.

Looking further ahead, Monday morning, September 21st, is showing some promise. We got a clean 3ft of southwest swell with a 10-second period. The wind is a light cross-offshore and the conditions are clean. Energy is back up to 319. It's a long way out, so take it with a grain of salt, but it's got potential.

Then on Wednesday, September 23rd, there's another glassy morning. Swell is 4ft from the southwest, period is 10 seconds. Not huge, but with no wind, it should be clean and fun.

So the plan is simple: hit those dawn patrols. The standout is Tuesday morning, the 15th. That’s the one with the best size, period, and clean conditions. It’s a bit of a long-range call, so we'll see, but that's the one to save your energy for.

Stay salty.
