Bulli Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Bulli Beach over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. There’s a whole heap of days where the surf is just plain poor, with no real rideable waves. For the first nine days, from Sunday the 6th right through to Monday the 14th, it’s pretty much a write-off. We’re looking at tiny, weak swell, often under 2 ft, with a lot of cross-shore or onshore wind messing up any chance of a clean wave. The combined energy is barely registering, mostly in the teens or thirties, which is just weak. You’d be better off doing something else.

There’s a glimmer of hope on Tuesday the 15th morning. The swell jumps up to 5 ft from the south, with a short period of 5 seconds. The combined energy hits 168 – that’s moderate energy, so there’s some push. The wind is light from the north, giving us a clean look. The waves are surfable but very ordinary. Because it’s a beach and reef setup, and the swell is under 8 ft, it’s not just for experts, but it’s not a beginner wave either. The wind is cross-offshore, which is a positive, but the short period means the waves won’t have much shape. It’s the only real window in the whole 16-day outlook.

After that, it’s back to the same story – tiny swell, poor conditions, with the combined energy dropping back to almost nothing. From Wednesday the 16th to Monday the 21st, there are a few mornings with clean offshore winds, but the swell is a measly 0.7 ft to 2 ft, and the period is all over the place. The combined energy stays below 40. It’s just not worth the paddle.

The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual to report.

Bottom line: If you’re desperate for a paddle, Tuesday the 15th morning is the only show in town. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s the best we’ve got. For the rest, save your energy and check back with me later.

Rusty.
