The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get real about what’s on offer for the Sardinian coast around Buggerru. This is a beach and pier setup that needs a very specific key to unlock, and honestly, this forecast is a tough one to read.
Straight up, there’s a long, dry spell ahead. From now through the end of August, it’s a flat, wind-affected mess. The wait for anything even remotely worth paddling out for stretches all the way into the last day of the month. The first whisper of real swell doesn’t show up until the morning of Saturday the 29th, and even then, it’s just a small, tired pulse. After that, it’s back to nearly nothing until the calendar flips to September.
The first real chance to get wet comes on the morning of Saturday the 29th. The wind will be light and offshore, coming from the NE, which will keep the surface clean. The swell is a weak 3 ft from the NNW, but it’s a short-period wind swell, so don’t expect any real push. It’s small, inconsistent, and the conditions are just barely surfable. It’s a session for the log or a longboard, and you’ll be scratching for anything.
We then go into another dead zone until the 3rd of September. The morning of Thursday the 3rd is where the real energy finally shows up. We’re looking at a solid 8 ft swell from the NW, with a period of 9 seconds. That’s a lot of water moving around, and the combined energy for that morning is a hefty 1119. This is expert territory at this size. The issue is the wind – it’s going to be a cross-shore breeze from the NNE, which will put a bit of texture on the face. The break is exposed, so it’s going to be a big, powerful, and messy affair. This is not a day for beginners or anyone not comfortable with heavy, shifting peaks. The afternoon stays big at 8 ft, but the wind swings cross-onshore from the NW, chopping it up further.
So, there’s only one true standout in this whole outlook, and it’s the morning of Thursday the 3rd of September. It’s the only time the swell is big enough to generate real power, despite the less-than-ideal wind. The water temperature is a wild 84°F, which is over 5 degrees warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s a very unusual, tropical-feeling anomaly.
Keep your expectations low until we hit September. The run of flat days is a long one for Buggerru.
Rusty.
