The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's look at what we’ve got for swell.
Honestly, the next week and a half is a real tough stretch for Buggerru. This beach and pier spot is open to the north-west, but the swell just isn't showing up right, and the wind keeps messing it up. It's a long dry spell.
From Monday the 24th through the end of the month, the waves are tiny and the conditions are poor. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy in the water is barely a whisper – single digits for most of that time. The water temp is about normal for this time of year, nothing special. Don't bother.
We get a little bump on Sunday the 30th in the morning, with a 3ft swell from the NNW and the energy hitting a moderate 105. But the wind is a moderate cross-shore, so it's choppy. Still not worth the trip.
Then it goes flat from Monday the 31st right through to Thursday the 3rd of September. Practically nothing.
Things finally start moving in the second week. On Friday the 4th of September, the swell picks up to 4ft from the NW, with an 8-second period and energy at 145. But the wind is a fresh cross-onshore at 19 mph, making it lumpy. Not a standout.
The one real event, and the only one to mark on the calendar, is Monday the 7th of September. The morning brings a 6ft NW swell, with the combined energy at 290. The wind is a light cross-on breeze, so it's not clean, but it's rideable. The main event is the afternoon, where the swell hits 8ft from the NNW, with a 9-second period. The energy goes nuts to 1145 – that's a lot of water moving. That's for experts only, and with onshore wind, it'll be heavy and powerful. This is the standout, but it's a mean one.
Then Tuesday the 8th of September morning is the cleanup. The swell drops to 5ft from the NW, but the wind turns glassy from the ENE. The energy is still a solid 244. For a few hours, you'll have clean, manageable waves. That's your best bet for a proper session if the big Monday is too gnarly.
So, bottom line: there's one big pulse of energy on the 7th, but it's raw and heavy. The glassy morning on the 8th is the real hidden gem. The rest is a long, long wait.
Rusty out.

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.
