The Lowdown
G'day, it's Rusty here. I've been staring at the charts for this stretch of coast, and honestly, it's a bit of a tough watch. The forecast is a long, drawn-out affair with a lot of flat spells and very little to get excited about. The only real pulse of energy shows up about a week and a half from now, so we're looking at a long wait.
Let's break it down. For the first week, from the start of August right through to the 14th, it's a write-off. We're talking about tiny, weak waves—if any at all. The combined energy is almost non-existent, stuck in the single digits for most of it. The winds are a mixed bag, but the lack of any meaningful swell makes it all irrelevant. You'll see a few 0.7 ft to 1.3 ft days, but with periods of 4 to 7 seconds, it's just not going to deliver.
Now, things start to get interesting around the 15th of August. There's a spike in the swell, but it's not the cleanest. On the morning of the 15th, we get a NW swell pushing 5.6 ft, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 294 (moderate), which is the most we've seen. The wind is a light cross-onshore from the north, so it's not perfect, but it's rideable. This is the pick of the bunch, but the afternoon gets a bit messy with a stronger onshore wind and bigger, lumpy 6.9 ft swell. That's expert territory and the onshore breeze will chop it up.
The following day, the 16th, still has some energy (105 combined), but it's dropping off fast with a 3.3 ft swell and a cross-onshore breeze. Buggerru is the only spot in the game here, and it's a beach/pier setup that's inconsistent and usually crowded. For this one day, it's your best bet. The swell direction is NW, which is the optimum for the spot, but the wind is just okay. The water is a whopping 82.2°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
Beyond that, it fades back to nothing. If you're a beginner, the 5.6 ft swell on the 15th is a bit much, and the 6.9 ft is definitely expert-only. For the experienced crew, the 15th morning is the one window. The long wait for the only real pulse of energy is a bummer, but that's the way it goes sometimes.

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.
