The Lowdown
Alright, my friend, let’s get real about Buggerru for a minute. We’ve got a long, quiet window ahead. The charts are showing a proper flat spell starting now, and it's gonna last a while.
From Thursday, July 30th, and running all the way through the first week of August, it’s dead. The swell is tiny—almost nothing—with heights less than a foot and periods barely worth reading. The ocean is flat. You’ll get a few glassy mornings that look pretty, but there’s no energy to ride. The water temp is 82°, which is a good 5° warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s on the warm side, but doesn’t help the surf.
The first sign of something shows up around Wednesday, August 5th. Even then, it’s poor conditions with a small 2ft swell from the WSW and the combined energy is weak—only 62. Then we wait again.
Come the second week, around August 12th and 13th, we finally get a pulse of size. A NW swell rolls in, bringing waves of 3ft to 4ft. The period is a short 7 seconds, but the combined energy jumps. On the morning of the 12th, it hits 105, and then the morning of the 13th, we see a stronger 182. That’s the most energy in the whole outlook. But here’s the catch: the wind is cross-onshore from the NNW. That’s gonna make it bumpy. Buggerru is an exposed spot, and it really wants a clean NW swell to work right. This NW swell will arrive, but the onshore breeze will mess up the shape. It’s a spot better suited for experienced surfers when it gets over 5ft, and with the lumpy wind, beginners should stay clear.
There is no true standout here. The best of a quiet run is that August 13th morning with the 4ft NW swell, but the conditions aren’t gonna be clean enough to call it a winner. The crowds at Buggerru are often there, so when it’s this average, it’s more of a headache than a highlight.

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.
