The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next week and a half is a write-off for Buggerru. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing but small, weak, messy slop from now until Wednesday, September 10th. There’s a solid 12-day gap of poor surf conditions, with waves barely cracking 3 ft and combined energy readings stuck in the pathetic 2 to 79 range. The wind is consistently cross-onshore or onshore, so it’s choppy and ugly. Honestly, this is a blank run that’s pretty normal for the area when the swell window goes quiet.
Then, on Thursday, September 10th, the game changes. That’s our standout. Thursday morning brings a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the NE at 6 mph, with a groundswell of 6 ft from the NW at 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 440 (moderate wave energy), and the wave comment says “expect good surf conditions” – though the score is only a 2, it’s the best we’ve got. This is not a beginner’s wave; at 6 ft, it’s solid for advanced surfers only. The period is short (8 seconds), so it’ll be a little fat and quick, but that offshore wind will keep it clean. Friday morning, September 11th, is also worth a look: 5 ft from the NW, period 8 seconds, with a light offshore from the E at 3 mph. Combined energy at 286 (moderate). Again, clean conditions, but the swell is still in the advanced range. Water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no drama there.
Beyond that, Saturday, September 12th, has a morning glass-off with ESE wind at 9 mph (offshore) and a 4 ft NW swell, but the energy drops to 100. It’s surfable but ordinary. Sunday, September 13th, brings a glassy morning with 4 ft from the NW and 151 energy – again, nothing special, but it’s clean.
For the second week, things fade again. The standouts are Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th – that’s your window. If you’re an advanced surfer, those mornings are the pick. The rest? Forget it. Crowds at Buggerru are often a problem, but with this long dry spell, you might have it quiet. The swell direction (NW) matches the optimum NW direction, which is a plus. But remember, that short period won’t give you long, lined-up waves – it’s more of a punchy beach break. If you’re a beginner, stay out of the water on those 6 ft days; it’s too big. For the rest of the 16 days, it’s a flat spell.
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.
