The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this straight. Buggerru (Sardinia) is a spot that needs the stars to really line up – it's an inconsistent break that's picky about swell direction. To get it going, we need a good push from the northwest. The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, and you'll be waiting a while before anything really worth paddling out for shows up.
The first real shot of surfable energy doesn't arrive until Tuesday the 28th of July. The early part of the week is flat or ankle-snappers with poor winds. Tuesday morning is the standout of the entire 16-day run. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell from the NW, period around 8 seconds, with glassy conditions. The combined energy is moderate, sitting at 348. Everything looks clean and lined up, but remember, this break is inconsistent, so grab it while you can. The afternoon gets messy with onshore wind.
Wednesday the 29th morning has a glassy start with a 4ft NW swell (109 energy), but it’s only surfable in a very ordinary way. After that, things drop off again. We have a long gap of flat or tiny, choppy surf right through to Wednesday August 5th, when we get a brief moment of clean, gentle offshore wind but with only 0.3ft of swell. That’s not enough to ride.
Thursday August 6th morning shows a little flicker of life with a 2ft NW swell and clean cross-offshore wind, but it’s still only small. All in all, if you can get to Buggerru on the morning of the 28th, you’ll have the best chance of a real wave. Other than that, it’s a waiting game.

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.
