Table - best surf conditions forecast for Buggerru over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here, and I’ve got to level with you – this 16-day window for the Buggerru area is about as flat as a calm lake. We’re looking at a long, long stretch of nothing much worth paddling out for, with a glimmer of hope right at the very end.
For the first twelve days, from now through to the 20th of July, the surf is basically non-existent. The swell heights are barely a whisper, mostly under 1ft, with periods that are short and weak. The combined energy of any swell is laughable, often in single digits (like 1 or 9). It’s a total desert. The wind is mostly light, with a few glassy and clean moments, but there’s simply no wave to ride. This is a blank run that’s pretty normal for this area when the swell windows close up.
The only flicker of life shows up on the morning of Monday, 21st July. The swell picks up a bit to 4ft from the NW, with a period of 8 seconds, giving a combined energy of 128 (moderate). The wind is offshore from the ESE, so the conditions will be clean. But let’s be real, it’s described as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” The break itself, Buggerru, is a beach/pier setup for advanced surfers, it’s inconsistent, and crowds are often an issue. With the swell size under 5ft, it’s not too big for anyone, but the short period and ordinary quality mean this isn’t a standout. The water temperature is 78°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a full 4°F above average, so that’s notable.
The rest of the period after that 21st morning falls away again. The swell drops back to tiny, weak signals, and the wind turns onshore, making for choppy, poor conditions. Tuesday the 22nd and the days after that are a write-off until the 24th, which still only offers 2ft max with poor conditions.
If you’re desperate, the morning of the 21st is your only real shot, but don’t expect any magic. This is a long, quiet spell for Buggerru, and it might be a better time to check the gear or find something else to do. The forecast can always change, but right now, it’s a pretty bleak outlook.
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.
