The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Sardinia's got cookin' for us.
Honestly, for the next week, it's a bit of a flat spell. We're looking at a lot of days with tiny, weak waves and poor conditions. The water is a crazy 83°—that's much warmer than normal for this time of year, feels like a bath.
The first real sign of life comes on Thursday the 10th. Buggerru is a beach and pier setup that's exposed to the NW, and we've got a new pulse of swell rolling in. Thursday morning sees a clean 4ft NW groundswell with an 8-second period, and the wind is light and cross-off from the east. The combined energy reads moderate at 221. It's not huge, but it's the first decent option we've had in a while.
Friday the 11th morning is also looking good. The swell drops a touch to 5ft from the NW, but the wind swings light offshore from the east. That's clean. The energy is still moderate at 211. This is the pick of the week for a surfer who wants a clean, fun wave without the crowd. Keep in mind, Buggerru is an advanced wave and inconsistent, so it's not for the faint of heart.
The next Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th have some bumps, but the winds are a bit messier. Sunday the 13th morning has a 5ft NW swell (237 energy) and offshore wind from the east-southeast, so that's another clean session to consider. But by the afternoon, the wind turns and the swell jumps to 7ft—that's getting into expert-only territory.
The second week is a mixed bag. Monday the 14th morning is glassy with a 4ft NW swell, Tuesday the 15th morning has a clean 3ft N swell, but nothing is screaming "classic." The energy drops off into the 100s and then falls away. The final few days are back to tiny, onshore slop.
So, if you're looking to get wet, mark your calendar for Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th mornings. Those are the only true standouts in this 16-day window.
Stay salty.
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.
Buggerru is 16 km (10 miles) from Iglesias. If you plan a holiday in Sardinia, look for hotels and other accommodation in Iglesias. Iglesias has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
