The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s cooking at Buggerru (Sardinia, Italy). I’ve looked at the charts and, to be honest, it’s a pretty flat run for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a beach/pier setup that’s inconsistent and you’re going to need some patience – or a different hobby – for most of this forecast.
We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions. From now through the first week of September, the swell is tiny, mostly under 3 ft, and the wave energy is weak (values as low as 2 to 80). The wind does swing around, offering some clean mornings, but there’s just nothing pushing through. Friday the 28th of August starts with glassy, 0.3 ft surf – barely a ripple. Saturday and Sunday offer a little bump to around 2 ft to 3 ft, but it’s cross-shore or cross-onshore, and the quality just isn’t there. The whole first week is a write-off for any real paddle surfing.
We hit a bit of a lull again until the second week, with energy levels bottoming out completely on the 1st and 2nd of September – some days offer zero combined energy. It’s that flat.
Now, I see a glimmer of hope way out there. Mark your calendars for Tuesday the 8th of September. That morning, we’re looking at a swell building to 7 ft from the NW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined wave energy jumps to 480 (moderate) and the morning is glassy. This is the standout. It’s not huge, but it’s the best on offer. However, by the afternoon, that same swell pumps up to 10 ft with energy soaring to 1228 (strong). The notes say it’s predicted to be too big for this break, and with a 9-second period, that’s expert territory only and the wind will be straight onshore. So, the early morning on the 8th is your window for some clean, surfable waves with moderate energy.
Following that, the 9th of September morning drops to 4 ft from the NW, with 176 energy and glassy conditions – surfable but ordinary. Then it fades quickly again. For the rest of the run into the second week, we’re back to near-flat conditions with clean offshore winds, but no swell to speak of.
Bottom line: it’s a flat start, a big gap with hardly anything, and then a single, promising morning on Tuesday the 8th of September. The spot is inconsistent anyway, so this blank run isn't totally out of the ordinary. Keep an eye on that date, but for now, you’re better off doing something else.

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