The Lowdown
Alright, I’ve taken a good hard look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks here in Buggerru, and I gotta be straight with you… it’s pretty bleak. We’re looking at a long, flat run with basically nothing worth paddling out for until we get to Thursday the 17th, and even then it’s just a little bump.
The whole stretch from now until Wednesday morning the 16th is a total write-off. Zero energy in the water. Wednesday itself is a dud with only 0.6ft of slop from the WNW and a ridiculously short 4 to 5 second period. Combined wave energy is a measly 2... barely a ripple. Don’t even bother.
Thursday the 17th morning is where we finally see a pulse. The swell picks up to 3ft from the NW with an 8-second period, and the combined energy climbs to 99 – still weak but at least it’s something. Conditions are glassy with a light NE breeze, so it’ll look clean. But this is still pretty gutless for anyone who knows what real surf feels like. By the afternoon the wind swings onshore from the NW and the quality goes straight in the bin.
Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th offer a bit more size – 3ft to 4ft – but the wind is cross or cross-on, so the wave faces will be messy and chopped up. Energy values are in the moderate range (100 on Saturday morning), but with the poor conditions it’s a hard pass.
Sunday the 20th morning is glassy again with 3ft from the NW, but the period is only 7 seconds and the energy is weak (52). It’s a looker, but it’ll be small and weak.
From Monday the 21st all the way through to the end of the forecast period on Thursday October 1st, it’s dead flat again. Swell heights drop to 0.3ft or 0.9ft, periods sink to 3 or 4 seconds, and there’s nothing but tiny dribblers. Some mornings look clean or glassy with offshore breezes, but there’s no wave to surf. By the last few days of September and into October, the wind is hammering from the NW at 18 to 25 mph and there’s literally zero swell. A full-on blank run.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, Thursday the 17th morning is your best bet – small, clean, but very ordinary. Otherwise, the whole 16-day window is a dud. This place can go quiet like this sometimes, and this is one of those times. Kites might get a look in on the windy days but for a surfer… it’s a no.

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.
