Bulli Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get straight into it. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – the next week and a half is pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and messy conditions ahead. The good news? There’s a little window of something worth paddling out for later on, but you’ll have to be patient.

Right now, Bulli Beach is seeing almost nothing. Friday morning the 4th has a tiny 2ft NE swell with glassy conditions, but it’s just too small to get excited about. The combined energy is a measly 55, so it’s flat out weak. Water temp is sitting at 64°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. The rest of the weekend and into the following week is a write-off – mostly under 2ft, short period, onshore or cross-shore winds, and energy levels dropping to single digits. There’s a gap of about 10 days with pretty much nothing worth mentioning.

Now, let’s talk about the one glimmer of hope. Come Tuesday morning, the 15th of September, things start to look a bit more interesting. Bulli Beach picks up a 6ft NE swell, period around 6 seconds, and the wind is going to be a clean cross-offshore from the NNE. The combined energy jumps to 277 – that’s moderate wave energy, and the conditions are described as clean. This is the standout. The swell is solid, but at 6ft, it’s pushing into the zone where it might be a bit much for beginners. It’s not huge, but it’s got some push. The NE direction is exactly what the spot likes to see. Just be aware that this is a beach and reef setup, and with a 6-second period, it’s going to be a bit more windswell-like, so don’t expect the long, clean lines of a groundswell. Also, this break can get crowded sometimes, so expect a few locals out.

The Tuesday afternoon session sees the swell bump up to 7ft, but the wind swings cross-shore and the energy spikes to 998 – that’s strong wave energy. The report says it’s marginal, likely due to tide or the wind, and that size is really only for experienced surfers. Stick to the morning.

After that, the Wednesday and Thursday quickly drop back to poor conditions, with onshore winds and small, weak swell. The rest of the 16-day window is mostly flat or blown out. So, if you’ve got a window, make it Tuesday morning the 15th at Bulli Beach. That’s your best bet, and it’s a decent one. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on the forecast, but it’s got potential.
