The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get this straight. It’s looking flat and pretty darn bleak for the next couple of weeks. Honestly, if you’re hanging your hat on getting wet, you’re going to be waiting a while. There’s a big fat gap of nothing for the first week and a half or so. We’re looking at the 10th through the 22nd, and it's just tiny, weak slop at best. Not worth the effort of paddling out.
The water is warm, though – 82° to be exact, which is very unusual for this time of year, running about 4° warmer than normal. That’s a real standout, but it doesn’t help the waves.
The first real, albeit small, pulse shows up on the morning of the 23rd. We’re looking at a 4ft swell wrapping in from the WSW with a 6-second period. The energy is still weak, only 98, so it's not a powerhouse, but it's something. The wind is calm and glassy, so if you're desperate, that might be your window. The afternoon looks like it gets messy with a moderate cross-shore breeze, so the morning is the call. But keep expectations in check.
Then the 24th has a bit of a drop, 2ft from the NW, but with a gentle offshore wind. It might be clean, but it’s just not got much push to it.
So, the standout here is really just that Sunday the 23rd morning. It’s the only window where the conditions align to be even remotely surfable. The rest of the time, it’s a waiting game. The swell direction is right for Buggerru, from the NW, but the size and energy just aren't there.
It’s a classic summer lull, where the inconsistent nature of the spot really shows. You just gotta be patient and hope the forecasts change.

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.
