The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—Buggerru is a beach and pier setup that’s inconsistent, and this 16-day window is mostly a flat, frustrating watch. The water’s sitting at a very unusual 83°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only excitement. The first whole week through to Wednesday the 8th of September is basically a write-off with tiny, weak swell—almost nothing breaking. You’ll see a few pulses of energy come through from the 9th, but the wind is always cross-on or onshore, ruining any chance of a clean wave. There’s honestly not a standout session here; it’s a tough run. For a spot that rarely breaks consistently, this kind of blank spell is more normal than you’d hope.
The first real bump in energy hits Wednesday the 9th of September morning, with a 4 ft NW swell at 8 seconds and moderate combined energy (154). But the wind is cross-on from the north at 6 mph, so it’s bumpy. By the afternoon, the swell jumps to 7 ft NW, with strong energy (553), but the wind picks up to 12 mph from the NNW, making it choppy. That’s too big for beginners and only for the experts, but the onshore wind kills the quality. Thursday the 10th sees similar 6-6 ft NW swell with strong energy (413-467), but again cross-on winds up to 16 mph. Not worth paddling out, honestly. The real power shows up on Thursday the 17th of September morning—a 10 ft NW swell with very strong energy (1445), but it’s howling onshore from the WNW at 19 mph. That’s a kite-surfing day, not a paddle session. After that, the swell drops back to small and weak, with onshore winds again.
Best of a bad bunch? If you’re desperate, the glassy mornings on Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th have tiny 1 ft NW swell with no wind, but the energy is pathetic (5-6). Not enough to ride. Honestly, save your energy. The wind is almost always wrong, and the swell either isn’t there or arrives with chop. Buggerru’s best offer is a promise of something better another time. 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.
