Alright, Rusty here, let's get into it for Buggerru (Sardinia, Italy). We're looking at a real slow start to this 16-day run, but there's some serious late potential if you've got time to wait.
Right off the bat, I've got to tell you, Buggerru is an exposed beach and pier setup, and it's rated as an advanced wave. It's inconsistent by nature, so don't expect a party every day. For the first ten days, it's a pretty blank run. The water temp is sitting at 79°, which is a very unusual 4° warmer than normal. The ocean feels like a warm bath, but it's flat for the most part. From the start through to the morning of Sunday the 21st, it’s mostly tiny, weak dribble.
Now, the morning of Monday the 21st things get interesting. We’re talking about a NW swell kicking in at 6 ft with a period of 8 seconds. The combined wave energy jumps into the moderate zone (433). There is a bit of cross-shore wind, so it won't be perfect. For the Tuesday afternoon, that NW swell pushes up to 8 ft with a 9-second period, and the energy rockets to a strong 1040. It's onshore wind though, so it'll be a choppy mess for all but the most experienced crew.
The highlight of the whole window is coming up, but it's a week and a half away. For the morning of Wednesday, the 22nd of July, it looks like the best bet. The swell drops to a still-solid 5 ft from the NW, but that ENE offshore wind at just 3 mph is going to make it glassy and clean. The energy is moderate (358). This is a true standout because you've got size that's manageable for the advanced crew, coming from the optimum direction for the break, and it's clean. For a spot that doesn't always fire, this is a special window. Be aware this is long-range, so it's promising but we need to keep an eye on it.
After that, it gets messy. The Thursday the 23rd is back to tiny and the swell is on the way out. But hold onto your board, because for Friday the 24th of July, the forecast says a massive spike: a NW swell of 12 ft with a 9 to 10-second period, and an energy reading of 1894 to 2320. That's very strong. The wind is light and cross-on to onshore. At this size, it’s experts-only territory, and with that much power and onshore wind, it's going to be a serious handful. It's big and powerful, but the quality will be poor.
So, if you're an expert and you've got patience, the window around the morning of Wednesday the 22nd is the standout. For the rest of us, it's a waiting game. Get the coffee ready.
Stay safe out there.
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.

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.
