The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get real about Buggerru.
To be honest, looking at the whole 16-day window, there’s a massive gap of nothing happening. The first few days are a total flat spell with no real swell energy to speak of. From Tuesday, August 4th, right through to the morning of Friday, August 7th, there is basically nothing rideable. The combined energy is just a sad little number in the single digits – we’re talking 2, 9, 8, 13, 19 – that’s barely enough to ruffle your wetsuit. It’s a dead period.
Then, things finally start to twitch on Friday, August 7th. The morning shows a pulse of 3ft NW swell with a period of 7 seconds, and the energy jumps to 94. That’s still weak, but at least it’s a pulse. The wind is a light cross-on from the NNW, which is okay but not perfect. The afternoon edges up to 4ft from the NW, with energy hitting 109 (moderate), but the wind picks up to a moderate cross-on from the NW, so it’ll be a bit chopped. Saturday the 8th holds similar 3ft to 3ft NW swell, but the wind remains cross-on.
For the only standout, I’d have to point to Friday, August 7th morning. The swell is 3ft from the NW, and the wind is a light breeze from the NNW. It’s a beach/pier break, so it’s exposed, but that NW direction is right in the optimum zone. The swell height is manageable for an advanced surfer – it’s over 2ft, but not huge. The period is short at 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit bumpy and won’t have that long, drawn-out feel. The water temperature is 82°F, which is 4°F warmer than normal, so it’s much warmer than you’d expect for this time of year. That’s a bonus.
The rest of the run is a dud. Sunday the 9th drops back to 1ft, and then it’s back to a flat, glassy, or light-onshore wasteland for the entire second week. Energy values stay in the single digits or low teens. There’s a tiny blip on Monday, August 17th with a 2ft WSW swell and 35 energy, but the wind is a messy cross. For a beach break, it’s just not worth the paddle.
So, the honest truth: Buggerru is mostly a skip for the next two weeks. The only real window is the morning of Friday, August 7th. If you’re an advanced surfer and you’re desperate, it’s your only shot. Otherwise, sit this one out. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on most days, given the weak, chopped-up conditions.

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.

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.
