The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Buggerru. We’ve got a long 16-day window stretching out, but I’ll be honest with you, it’s a bit of a slow burner. There’s a big gap of flatness and junk in the middle, so you’ve got to pick your moments.
The first real chance to get wet doesn’t come until the 11th of September. The water is currently sitting at a very balmy 82°F, which is about 5°F warmer than usual—that’s a proper anomaly for this time of year, so you’ll be comfortable in a shorty or even just boardshorts if you’re tough.
The standout session is looking like the morning of Friday the 11th of September. Buggerru is a beach and pier setup, exposed to the NW, and we’ve got a clean 7ft swell from the NW. That’s big enough to be a handful for beginners, but for the experienced surfer, it’s got some grunt. The combined energy hits 480 (moderate to strong), and the wind is a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE, keeping the surface clean. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it’s a local windswell, but with that size and clean wind, it’ll be a fun one for the advanced crew. Just be aware this spot is often crowded, so you’ll have company.
The other real highlight to keep an eye on is Sunday morning the 13th of September. We’ve got a 6ft NW swell pushing in with a combined energy of 326, and the wind is glassy from the NNW. That’s pure magic—clean conditions, good size. Again, it’s a short period (8 seconds), but when it’s that clean, you don’t care. This one is a proper window for a smooth session.
Now, the bad news. From the 5th through the 10th, it’s almost all flat or tiny, with poor conditions. The 10th of September shows a 4ft to 6ft blow from the NW, but the wind is a moderate cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. Not worth paddling out for. Then after the 13th, it drops off hard again. The 14th has a glassy morning with a 4ft swell, but it’s mediocre, and after that, it’s back to tiny, sub-2ft dribble for the rest of the window. The 20th has some clean offshore wind, but the swell is a pathetic 1.0ft from the WSW—not enough to stand up on.
So, the short story: don’t waste your time on the first week. Save your energy for the morning of the 11th and the morning of the 13th. Those are your two shots. The rest is a waiting game.
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.
