The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Buggerru over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough run. The first solid week and a half is pretty much a write-off. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak swell and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. The energy is just not there. The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t show up until Monday the 28th of July, so we’re looking at over a week of flat or near-flat conditions before that.
So, for the standout of the forecast, we have to look at Tuesday the 28th of July. For the early morning, Buggerru is looking like the pick of a very poor bunch. We’ll have a clean 5ft swell from the northwest, and the wind is forecast to be glassy – dead calm. That’s a massive positive. The combined energy will be moderate (230), so there’s enough push. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it won’t have that groundswell grunt, but with glassy conditions, it’ll be the most rideable we’ll see for a while. Keep in mind, this spot is inconsistent and can get crowded, so don’t expect a secret session.
The next real highlight comes way out on Monday the 3rd of August. The morning session at Buggerru shows a cleaner 4ft NW swell, again with glassy conditions. The energy is strong (301), and the period is a short 7 seconds. This is a long-range call, so it’s promising but less certain. Still, it’s the second-best chance on the board.
The water temperature on the 20th of July is sitting at 82°F, which is a massive 6°F warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s very unusual – you’re in for a warm bath, no doubt about it.
The rest of the days are full of onshore wind, small swell, and poor surf quality. The 27th of July sees a pulse of bigger swell (8ft) and strong energy (885), but it’s coming with a strong onshore wind, so it’s likely going to be a messy, blown-out mess. That’s more of a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surfing one.
So, to wrap it up: sit tight for the first week, then get ready for a couple of windows of glassy, small to medium waves. The 28th of July is your best bet, and the 3rd of August is worth keeping an eye on.
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.
