The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. The next 16 days are looking pretty grim for Buggerru. We’ve got a big, flat gap right at the start and nothing much to get excited about for a long time. The first sniff of any surf doesn’t show up until the morning of Thursday the 24th, and even then, it’s a messy one.
The water is sitting at a very unusual 80°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year down at Buggerru. That’s a real standout, but it doesn’t make up for the lack of waves.
The first real event is on Thursday the 24th. A pulse of swell pushes in from the NNW, lifting to 6 ft, but it’s a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 282 (moderate wave energy), so there’s some push, but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore from the NNW at 22 mph, making it lumpy and ugly. It’s an advanced spot and it’s inconsistent, but with that much onshore wind and choppy conditions, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. On Friday the 24th afternoon, the swell drops to 4 ft from the NW, still with a short 7-second period and cross-onshore wind at 19 mph. Still a mess.
After that, we drop back into tiny, weak conditions. By Sunday the 26th, the swell is down to 2 ft from the NW with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is only 40 (weak). The morning looks glassy and clean, but there’s just not enough wave to do anything with.
The rest of the window through to the 31st of July is a write-off. Swell heights stay below 2 ft, periods are short, and the winds are all over the place. The break is inconsistent and exposed, but it just doesn’t matter because there’s no solid swell to grab.
Honestly, there are no good surf options in this 16-day window. The only day with any kind of size is the 24th, and it’s blown out. For an area like this, a blank run is fairly normal. It tends not to stay poor for long, but you’ll be waiting a while for this one.
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.
