Alright, gather 'round. Rusty here. Let's have a honest look at what the charts are telling us for our stretch of coast.
Gonna be a tough two weeks ahead, I won't sugarcoat it. We're lookin' at a long dry spell starting right now, with barely a ripple on the cards. The water's still warm though, about 79°F, and that's a solid 4°F above what we're used to for July – feels more like a bath than the ocean. The nearest we have to a wave is at Buggerru, and it's an exposed beach and pier setup, but it's a stretch even calling it surf for a while.
The first real chance of anything that isn't just a lake comes much later. We've got nothing worth paddling out for from now all the way through to Saturday, July 24th. That's over a week of flatness or tiny, sloppy junk. On Saturday the 24th, the morning shows some small NW swell pushing about 2 ft, but with a short period of 7 seconds, the energy is still weak. The wind is a light cross-shore, so it'd be clean, but just not enough push. You're better off saving the wax. Sunday the 25th is the best bet, but even then, it's a case of making the most of limited options. The swell builds to about 4 ft from the NW, still with that short 7-second period, but the combined energy is moderate. The catch is the wind – a moderate cross-onshore from the NNW at 12 mph, making it a choppy mess. The swell is up, but the quality is shot. That bigger swell of 4 ft is getting into the zone that's only really fun if you're an advanced surfer, and the onshore wind isn't doing us any favours. If you're a kite surfer, this bumpy, wind-affected period on Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th might be more interesting than a paddle.
Monday the 27th sees the swell fade back to about 2 ft from the NNW, low energy. The lack of any consistent, clean swell with decent period is the main story here. It's not a total wipeout, but the forecast suggests a long, flat run is normal for the area. Stick it out, forecasts can always turn around.
It's a flat spell, no two ways about it. Keep the boards waxed for another week.

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.
