Buggerru Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it.

Well, I’ll be honest with you, Buggerru – things are looking pretty flat for a good, long stretch. We’ve got a big gap of quiet days ahead before anything worth paddling out for shows up.

Right now, starting Monday the 6th of July, we’re stuck with tiny, weak swell. The waves are under 2ft, mostly coming from the NW with short periods of just 6 seconds. The combined energy is barely registering (11), and the wind is glassy in the mornings, but there’s just nothing to ride. Tuesday and Wednesday are more of the same – a lot of glassy mornings, but the swell is tiny, inconsistent, and the period drops to 4 or 5 seconds. The wave energy is pitiful, maxing out at 29. This is all "poor surf" territory. It’s basically a lake out there.

This dry spell runs right through until Saturday the 19th of July. We get a few days with tiny 0.3ft to 1ft bumps, but nothing that qualifies as a proper wave. There’s a bit of clean, cross-off wind on Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th, but with only 0.3ft to 1ft of swell, you’d be floating more than surfing.

The only light at the end of the tunnel, and it’s a flicker, is on Monday the 20th of July. We finally see a proper pulse. Monday morning brings a NW swell at 3ft with a 7-second period. The combined energy jumps to (74), which at least feels like there’s some water moving. The wind is clean and cross-off from the SSE. That’s the best looking session in the whole outlook. The swell is small enough for beginners, but the short period means it won’t have much punch.

The next morning, Tuesday the 21st of July, is the standout. Swell bumps up to 4ft from the NW with an 8-second period and the combined energy hits (142) – that’s moderate, solid energy. The wind is offshore from the ESE at 6 mph, keeping the surface clean. This will be the most size and push we see, but even then, the overall rating suggests it’s just "surfable" – nothing epic. For an advanced spot like Buggerru, 4ft is small and friendly. The wave period is still pretty short, so expect dumpy, quick waves that are best for a shortboard or a groveler.

Because this break is "inconsistent" and can get "often" crowded on a clean day, you might have some company on that Tuesday morning if the word gets out.

So, in short: the next two weeks are mostly a write-off. The one true standout, if you can call it that, is the Tuesday morning, the 21st of July at Buggerru – the biggest, cleanest swell of the whole period, but it’s still not a classic. It's a long-range call, so keep an eye on it.
