The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Buggerru’s got cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a grim stretch ahead. The forecast is a long, silent run of flatness or straight-up junk. We’re looking at a solid week of nothing worth paddling for, starting right now. The first faint whisper of something surfable doesn’t even show up until Friday the 7th of August, and even then, it’s not much to write home about.
Buggerru’s a beach-and-pier setup that needs an exposed NW swell, but what we’re seeing is mostly tiny, short-period windswell mixed with a whole lot of cross-onshore chop. The water is running about 82°F right now, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a bath, but there’s no waves to enjoy it in.
For the first week, from Sunday the 26th of July right through to Thursday the 6th of August, it’s a write-off. Swell heights barely tickle 1ft, periods are pathetic (3-4 seconds), and the combined energy readings are mostly single digits – a measly 2 or 1 most days. The wind is a constant problem: cross-onshore, onshore, or just enough to mess up the tiny bumps. There’s a few glassy moments on the morning of Thursday the 30th of July and Sunday the 2nd of August, but with zero swell, it’s just a flat, pretty ocean.
The only real glimmer in the whole 16-day window lands on Friday the 7th of August. The morning brings a modest pulse of NW swell at 4ft with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of 162 (moderate). The wind goes light and cross-offshore from the NE, which is rare and clean. The report calls it “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” which is about as optimistic as it gets. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the only time you’ll find a wave that’s not completely flat. Even then, the afternoon ruins it with onshore winds.
After that, Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th of August see some bigger swell – up to 7ft on Sunday morning – but the wind is howling out of the NNW at 12-16 mph and cross-onshore, turning it into a choppy, blown-out mess. That size is for experts only, and with that wind, it’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.
So, bottom line: there’s no good surf on offer for the bulk of this forecast. The one morning on Friday the 7th of August is your best bet, but keep expectations low. This is a lean period for Buggerru – it happens.

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.
