The Lowdown
Alright, mates, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ for the Buggerru stretch.
Honestly, the next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, and there’s a lot of flat, small, or just plain messy conditions to wade through. The standout window is going to be around Monday, August 24th, but it comes with a major caveat. For the most part, you’ll be waiting for just a few fleeting moments of something decent.
The first real slice of hope shows up on the morning of Wednesday, August 19th. Buggerru is a beach/pier setup that’s exposed to the NW. That morning, we’ve got a clean 3 ft swell from the NW with a short 6-second period. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the ENE, keeping things glassy. The combined wave energy is weak (66), so it’s not powerful, but it’s surfable – just very ordinary. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no wetsuit surprises there.
Then we hit a dry spell again. The morning of Sunday, August 23rd, offers another clean, cross-off morning with a 3 ft NW swell. The period is 7 seconds, and the energy is moderate (118). Again, it’s surfable but pretty average. The real tease is Monday, August 24th. The morning session is a gem: glassy conditions with a 6 ft NW swell, 6-second period, and moderate energy (265). The forecast says expect good surf conditions. That’s your best bet for a fun, clean paddle. But here’s the kicker – by Monday afternoon, the swell jumps to 10 ft from the NW, with a 9-second period and very strong energy (1273). That’s too big for Buggerru, especially with a cross-on wind. It’s a heavy, expert-only washout by then. Look for that morning window.
After that, it’s back to the wilderness. The wind goes onshore from the NW for a few days, with solid 7 ft to 6 ft NW swell, but the conditions are poor. The combined energy is strong (563 and 363), but the wind is fresh and onshore, making it a mess. The rest of the month into the first days of September is just tiny, weak, or blown-out dribble. The 28th of August has a brief offshore wind from the ESE, but the swell is only 0.3 ft, so it’s flat.
So, your one standout is the morning of Monday, August 24th, at Buggerru. Get in early, because the afternoon is a washout. The rest of the forecast is a long wait for a few clean but small windows.

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.
