The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s get real about Buggerru.
Truth is, we’re looking at a flat spell here with only the faintest pulses of energy, and none of it comes together for a decent session. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off. The first real bump in energy doesn’t even show up until Tuesday the 11th of August, and even then, it’s a mess of cross-onshore wind.
The water is a standout though – it’s running at 82°F and the anomaly is 5°F above the long-term average. That is notably warmer than usual for this time of year, so if you’re just going for a swim, you’re in luck.
Now, through the first week, we’ve got tiny swell, mostly under 1ft with periods barely hitting 6 seconds. That’s just wind chop. There’s a little bump of combined swell energy (35) on Friday the 7th and (47) on Saturday the 8th, but with moderate cross-onshore winds at 12 mph and short period, it’s choppy and weak. Not worth paddling out for.
The best looking window on paper is the morning of Tuesday the 11th. Swell ticks up to 4ft from the NW with a period of 7 seconds and combined energy of 139 (moderate). But the wind is cross-on from the north at 9 mph, so it’s going to be bumpy and poor. That same pattern holds through Wednesday and Thursday mornings – similar swell size, but the wind stays cross or cross-onshore. The Thursday morning (13th) shows 4ft from the NW, period 7s, energy at 104, again with a cross breeze. It’s the best of a bad lot, but surfless.
By Sunday the 16th, it’s dead flat again. Then Monday the 17th shows a little glassy session possible – 2ft from the WSW, period 8s, glassy wind. Energy is only 37 though, so barely a ripple. Still, a clean 2ft wave is more fun than a bumpy 3ft wave.
Honestly, there is no standout session here. The swell direction is from the NW and optimum for Buggerru is NW, so that’s a tick, but the wind kills it every time. This is an exposed beach and pier setup, and with the wind on it, the whole stretch looks more interesting for a kite session than a paddle.
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.
