The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this outlook for Buggerru is a tough one. We're looking at a long, dry spell before anything even thinks about showing up.
The next few weeks are basically a write-off. There’s a massive gap with absolutely nothing worthwhile on the cards. You're looking at day after day of tiny, weak waves, if any, with lousy wind and energy readings mostly in the single digits. It’s flat, it’s choppy, and it's not worth paddling out for. Don't bother checking the cam until we're well into September.
Right at the tail end of the forecast, there’s a flicker of hope. On Friday the 4th of September, we finally see a pulse of energy. The combined swell energy jumps to a strong 363, with a 6ft swell from the NW at 8 seconds. But here's the heartbreaker – it's accompanied by a moderate cross-onshore wind from the NNW at 12 mph, making for choppy conditions. The forecast calls it "poor surf conditions," and with that onshore wind and a short period, it's going to be a messy, blown-out affair. This isn't a day for the beginner – that 6ft is pushing it for learners, and it's only really going to be for the experienced crew who don't mind battling the chop. For everyone else, this setup might honestly look better for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer.
So, what have we got? A whole lot of nothing, then one possible, messy, expert-only window right at the end. Keep your boards in the car, but maybe don't take them out of the bag just yet. The wait continues.
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.
