Buggerru Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let me tell you how it is for Buggerru. We've got a long, dry spell ahead, I'm not gonna lie. For the next week and a half, you can pretty much leave the board in the car.

Right off the bat, and for many days, there's just nothing doing. The combined wave energy is pitiful, often in the single digits, and the swell heights are a measly 0.3ft to 2ft. The winds aren't even the problem some days; it's just flat. We finally see a pulse of energy around the 29th of August, but the wind is a messy cross-onshore, and the quality is still poor. That trend of onshore wind and weak, messy swell continues right through to the 6th of September. There's a real standout for the wind on the 7th of September (Monday) morning, with a clean, light offshore breeze from the NE, and the swell bumps up to 4ft from the NW. The energy is solid, so there's some push, but the waves just don't have the quality the forecast says is "good." You’ll also find the water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird there. Before that, the 4th of September even sees a bit of a pulse, with the swell jumping to 5ft on Friday and then 7ft in the afternoon from the NW, but it's accompanied by a strong, messy cross-onshore wind. That's a powerful but ugly combination, making it a kite-surfing show instead of a clean surf session. It’s too big and choppy for a beginner, for sure.

So what's the pick? Honestly, the only window that looks even remotely worthwhile is the morning of September 7th. The 4ft NW swell with clean NE offshore winds gives you the best shot at a few fun ones. It’s still nothing to write home about, and the break here is an inconsistent, advanced spot, so don't expect a crowd, but it's the only time the stars sort of align. After that it's back to onshore junk until the forecast ends. It's a tough run, but that's how it goes sometimes.
