The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Buggerru’s got coming.
First up, the water’s sittin’ at 82° – that’s way warmer than usual for this time of year, so you’ll be in board shorts or a spring suit at most.
Now, the honest truth for the next week and a bit is grim. From Saturday the 1st right through to Sunday the 9th, it’s a drought. Tiny dribbles of swell, mostly under 2ft, and the wind’s usually cross-on or choppin’ things up. The combined energy rarely gets past two digits – that’s weak, weak stuff. There’s a quick moment on Wednesday the 5th morning where the wind goes glassy, but the swell is only 2ft with a period of 7 seconds. It’s surfable if you’re desperate, but it’s not a recommendation. That’s a solid 9-day gap of nothin’ worth paddlin’ out for.
Then we hit the second week. Monday the 10th morning, things wake up. Swell jumps to 5ft from the NW, period 8 seconds, and the combined energy hits 327 – that’s moderate. Wind is light cross-on from the north at 10 km/h. It’s still a bit messy, but it’s the first real pulse. The afternoon jumps to 8ft with 895 energy, but that’s gettin’ big – only for the advanced crew, and the wind goes cross-on from the NW at 15 km/h, so it’ll be choppy.
The real standout, the one to circle on the calendar, is Sunday the 16th afternoon. We’re lookin’ at a solid 10ft swell from the NW, period 10 seconds, and the combined energy is a massive 1891 – that’s strong to very strong energy. The wind is cross-on from the NW at 20 km/h, which ain’t perfect, but the file says wind and tide are favorable. This swell is predicted to be too big for this break – it’s an advanced-only session, and it’ll be a beast. For a spot that’s normally inconsistent, this is a rare, heavy pulse. Crowds are likely here, so get there early if you’re game.
Overall, the first week is a write-off. The second week has a couple of buildin’ days, but that 16th afternoon is the one that’ll get the heart pumpin’. Promisin’, but long-range, so keep an eye on it.
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.
