The Lowdown
Alright, here’s the same story in miles and feet.
It’s a long, dry stretch for Buggerru. From Saturday 18 July through the end of the month, the waves are tiny and the wind is almost always cross-onshore or onshore – not worth paddling out for. The first few days give you maybe 0.7ft to 1ft of slop, and even when the swell bumps up to 6ft on Friday 24 July morning, the wind is still cross-onshore and conditions are poor. The water is warm – about 82°F and a full 6°F above normal for mid-July – but that’s the only highlight.
Then, on Monday 27 July morning, it all comes together. Buggerru – a beach/pier break that’s advanced and inconsistent, and often crowded – gets a real pulse. Swell from the NW at 6ft, period a solid 9 seconds, and the wind goes glassy. Combined wave energy is 513 – that’s strong, meaty power. The forecast actually says “expect very good surf conditions”. This is the only true standout in the whole 16-day window. If you’re an advanced surfer and don’t mind the crowds, that Monday morning is your shot. The rest of the day gets onshore, and Tuesday morning (28 July) is glassy again but only 3ft – surfable but nothing special.
After that, it’s back to flat. The rest of the second week and into early August shows nothing but tiny, weak waves and poor wind. So, one golden window on Monday 27 July morning – don’t miss it.

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.
