Buggerru Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Buggerru has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. I gotta be straight with you, it's a tough outlook. We're looking at a solid run of tiny or flat days for a long stretch before a glimmer appears way out in the second week.

For the next two weeks, the wave energy is mostly non-existent or incredibly weak. The combined energy readings are in the single digits or very low double digits for the vast majority of the period, which tells you there's just no push. We start with Monday morning the 6th, and immediately you can see the problem. There's swell, but it's tiny, only 1ft from the NW. The real killer is the rating; it's a total scratch. While the morning is glassy, that 1ft is just not enough to do anything with. We then roll through Tuesday the 7th, Wednesday the 8th, Thursday the 9th, Friday the 10th, and it's the same story every day – small, weak swells, mostly under 2ft, with periods of 4 to 6 seconds. The wind shifts around but it doesn't matter when there's no wave to ride.

Saturday the 11th and the days following are essentially flat, with combined energy at zero, all the way through to the 20th of July. That's a blank run of about ten days with no surf to speak of. You'll see some tiny pulses, like 0.3ft or 0.7ft, but that's just a ripple. For an exposed, inconsistent spot like Buggerru, this kind of extended flat spell is unfortunately pretty normal for the area.

Now, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, but you have to be patient. The only real chance we get is on Tuesday the 21st of July. The morning session wakes up with a pulse of 4ft from the NW, with a period of 8 seconds and a combined energy of 198. That's moderate energy, and for once it’s actually surfable. The wind is light from the east at 3 mph, which is cross-offshore and will keep things clean. For Buggerru, which really wants a good NW groundswell, this is as good as it gets in this forecast. The swell is a bit short period though, so don't expect perfect lines, but it's the only window we have. The afternoon on the 21st drops off as the wind swings onshore and the energy fades, so the morning is your only shot.

In short, we have a long, dry spell with one decent, clean morning on Tuesday the 21st. For the 4ft of NW swell, that's solid for the better surfer, but it's a one-off. For the most part, the kites might have a better time of it on the days with consistent wind.

Stay patient, and keep an eye on that Tuesday morning.

Rusty.
