The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's break it down. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window for Buggerru, but honestly, it’s a quiet one. There’s a big gap of nearly a week right at the start with nothing worth getting wet for. The water’s running warm, about 28°, which is a couple of degrees above normal, so it’s nice for a dip but not for riding.
The one true standout lands on Saturday morning, the 5th of September. Buggerru is a beach and pier spot, wide open to the northwest swell. That morning, we’ve got a 4ft swell from the northwest with a 7-second period, and the combined energy is 168 (moderate). The real beauty is the wind: light and offshore from the east-southeast, so the waves will be clean and lined up. This spot is inconsistent, so expect some lulls, but when it fires, it’ll be fun. Crowds are often there, so don’t expect solitude.
The rest of the run is pretty grim. Strong winds kick in on the 6th and 7th, blowing everything out. There’s a small chance on Tuesday morning, the 8th of September, with a 5ft northwest swell and 257 energy, but it’s cross-shore and just average. That’s a bit big for beginners, but for the experienced crowd, it might be worth a paddle if the wind settles. By Wednesday the 9th, it’s back to tiny, glassy conditions – clean but flat.
So, the call is simple: Saturday morning, the 5th of September, is your best bet. The rest of the 16 days, you’re better off doing something else.
Rusty.

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.
