The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get real about Buggerru. This is a tough run of luck we’re looking at. Honestly, the next week and a half looks pretty flat and uninspiring. Most days we’ve got next to no swell, with wave heights barely registering. A lot of those mornings are glassy or clean, which would be beautiful if there was anything to ride, but there just isn't. The water temp at the start is sitting at a warm 83°, which is about 5° warmer than usual for this time of year – noticeably warm, almost like a bath.
We’ve got a long stretch of almost nothing from Sunday the 10th right through to about the middle of the next week. You’ll see a few tiny bumps, maybe 0.7ft to 1ft, but with period as low as 3 to 4 seconds, that’s just wind chop without any push.
The first real sign of life doesn’t show up until Wednesday the 19th of August. Wednesday morning we get a little 0.7ft pulse from the WSW with an 8-second period, and a light cross-shore breeze. That swell builds through the afternoon to 1.0ft with a 7-second period, but it gets chopped up by a cross-onshore wind. The combined energy is still pretty weak at (10).
The standout window, as far as anything goes, starts on Monday the 24th of August. Monday morning we finally see a jump to 3ft from the NW with a 7-second period. That’s the biggest swell of the whole outlook. The combined energy hits (105), so there is finally some moderate power. The wind is light and cross-shore, leaving the surf looking clean. This is the best shot you’ll get in the whole 16-day run. The break is a beach/pier setup, it’s inconsistent, and crowds are often around, but with the swell hitting 3ft and clean conditions, it’s worth a look. After that, Monday afternoon gets a bit bigger on the face at 3ft, but a stronger cross-onshore wind will mess it up. For the experienced surfers, that morning window is the pick. Beginners will find the 3ft swell manageable but a bit of a handful on a beach break.
Overall, it’s a pretty bleak forecast. We’re looking at a solid 10-day gap with no real surf, and even then, the good stuff is only a brief window. For this area, a quiet run like this is more normal than you’d hope.

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.
