The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty checkin’ in from the coast. Let’s see what the next couple of weeks have got lined up for us.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you—this is a rough patch for Buggerru. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off. We’re looking at a long, long stretch of flat or near-flat surf with hardly any energy. The first real sign of life doesn’t show up until the 5th of August, and even then, it’s nothing to get excited about. We’ve got at least a week of nothing worthwhile starting from now, so if you’re jonesing for a wave, maybe pick up a new hobby for a bit.
The water temp is sitting at 82°F, which is a solid 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a big anomaly, so you won’t need a wetsuit, just a good attitude for small surf.
The only period that even comes close to being worth a paddle is around the 11th and 12th of August. We finally see a little bump in swell energy—a moderate 104 to 122 (combined energy) from the NW. The swell height pushes up to 4 ft, with a period of 7 seconds. That’s short period, windswell stuff, so it’ll be a bit crumbly and not super clean. The wind is cross-onshore from the NNW at 12-16 mph, which is going to put a bit of chop on the face. It’s not big enough to be dangerous, but it’s gonna be messy. For a crew of experienced surfers, there might be a few fun, punchy little wedges on the beach, but it’s not a standout session by any stretch.
The rest of the time? It’s either flat, or there’s tiny, weak lines—0.3 ft to 2 ft—with marginal winds. The 5th of August morning has a glassy 2 ft swell from WSW with a 6-second period, but it’s barely a ripple. The 10th of August afternoon has a little more size (2 ft) but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy again.
So, to wrap it up: there’s no real standouts here. The best on offer is that small window around the 11th and 12th of August with 4 ft NW swell, but it’s for the experienced crew only, and it’s not going to be pretty. For the kitesurfers out there, the afternoon winds on a few days might be more interesting than the waves. For the rest of us, it’s a waiting game. Forecasts can change, but right now, this is a blank run.

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.
