The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Buggerru over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you, it's a pretty grim run for the most part. The first week and a half is basically a write-off, so don't bother checking the cams. We're looking at a long stretch of flat, tiny, or messy junk from now until the middle of the month.
The first real pulse of energy doesn't show up until Tuesday, August 18th. That morning, we finally see a bit of life. The swell is coming from the NW around 4ft, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (186). The wind is looking glassy out of the SE, which is a huge plus. This will be a rare moment of clean, surfable waves. It's not a standout by any means, but it's the best we’ve seen all forecast. Remember, this is an advanced spot that's inconsistent, so don't expect a carnival.
The swell builds from there, but the wind turns ugly. On Tuesday afternoon, the swell jumps to 5ft from the NW, energy ramping up (400), but the wind swings onshore. That cross-on breeze will chop it up, making it a mess. Wednesday, August 19th, has more size, with 6ft in the morning and 8ft in the afternoon, but again, it's all cross-on or onshore wind. The energy is strong (413 and 789), but the quality won't be there for a proper paddle session. This setup, with that strong onshore wind and a beach/pier break, honestly looks more interesting for the kite surfers than anyone with a paddle.
The rest of the week into the 22nd keeps the swell around but with that persistent NW wind. By Saturday, August 22nd, the swell drops back to 3ft, with only weak energy (54). The wind looks light and cross-shore, which is better, but the swell is just too small and weak to get excited about.
Water temp is about 82° this morning, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so you can leave the steamer at home.
So, to sum it up: the one window to keep an eye on is the morning of Tuesday, August 18th. That's your best bet. Everything else is a write-off for a decent paddle. The rest of the time, the waves are either not there or getting blown out. It's a tough outlook for Buggerru.
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.
