The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this is one of those tough ones to write. We're looking at a pretty barren run ahead for Buggerru. The first surfable wave ain't gonna show for a while, so don't bother waxing up just yet.
Looking at the whole 16-day window, there's a real lack of any proper swell energy. The first day we see any real reading is Friday the 11th with a NW swell around 4ft, but it's a short period of 7 seconds and the wind is a messy cross-on from the NW at 12 mph. The combined energy is weak at just 136, and the report calls it poor. Not a good look. The water temp is sitting at a very unusual 81.9° – that's over 5.4° warmer than average for this time of year.
We roll into Saturday the 12th with a smaller 3.3ft swell, still from the NW, and the wind is cross-shore, making for a bit of chop. Not great. Sunday the 13th actually gets some glassy conditions in the morning with an offshore breeze from the ENE, but the swell has dropped to a tiny 2ft. You might get a knee-high dribbler if you're desperate. The whole first week is a write-off.
There's a slight bump on Thursday the 17th with the swell pushing back up to 3ft in the morning and 3.6ft in the afternoon, with a period of 8 seconds and energy climbing to 131. Still, it's a cross-on wind from the NW both sessions, keeping things choppy. The following Friday the 18th sees a similar 3.6ft swell with a cross wind, but again, it's not clean.
After that, it fades right out again. From around Monday the 21st through to the end of the period on Saturday the 26th, we're looking at flat to near-flat conditions, with combined energy values of 1 or 0. There's some glassy mornings and even an offshore breeze on Thursday the 24th, but with no swell to work with, it don't matter. If you're a kitesurfer, you might find something in the onshore afternoon breezes, but for a paddle surfer, this is a long, dry stretch. Hang in there.

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.
