Buggerru Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, Bugga me. Lookin' at the forecast for Buggerru, and I gotta tell ya straight up, it's pretty grim for us surfers for the next couple a weeks. Not much to get excited about at all, to be honest.

For the next few days, it's all small and weak. We've got a bit of a pulse on Wednesday afternoon with a tiny 1 ft swell from the WSW, period a short 4 seconds, but the combined energy is a measly 6, so there's nothin' there. Wind is from the NW, so it's onshore. It's basically flat and choppy. Thursday and Friday are the same story - ankle-biters if anything at all. There's a moment Friday morning where the wind goes glassy, but the swell is just 0.3 ft. It's cruel.

This quiet spell drags on through the weekend and into the start of next week. We're talking about a solid 6-day stretch where there's not a single surfable wave on offer. Around Tuesday the 21st we see a slight uptick, with a 3 ft swell from the NW in the morning. The period is a short 6 seconds, and combined energy is just 59. Winds are light cross-shore. It's still poor surf conditions, though. That afternoon it jumps to 4 ft with a period of 7 seconds, energy reaches 127 which is moderate, but the wind swings to a moderate cross-onshore from the NNW, making it choppy. It's gettin' a little size, but the quality is blown out. This continues through the 22nd and 23rd - a bit of size with onshore winds.

The only real chance of a clean wave looks to be on the morning of Thursday, the 23rd. A small 2 ft NW swell with a 5-second period and a light cross-offshore breeze from the NE. Combined energy is only 14. It's clean, but tiny. Then the wind picks up and the window closes.

After that, from the 24th through to the end of the forecast period, it's a real mix of onshore winds and tiny, weak swells. The 26th and 27th have some glassy mornings, but with swell barely reaching 2 ft, it's all but flat. The 29th and 30th are completely flat.

The only standout, if you can call it that, is that Thursday morning the 23rd at Buggerru . It's the only time we get a clean window with a little bit of swell and a cross-offshore breeze. But honestly, it's knee-high at best.

All in all, we're in a flat spell. The water temperature is sitting at a very unusual 80°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s the only thing that’s goin’ off around here right now. Might be more of a kite-surfing spot than a paddle one for the foreseeable future.
