Bungan Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Bungan Beach over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first week is a tough watch. We’ve got a run of tiny, weak swell with hardly any energy behind it. The combined energy barely ever cracks double digits, sitting mostly between 17 and 65 (weak), so it’s not gonna get the heart racing. There’s a bit of hope on Sunday morning the 30th of August with glassy conditions, but the swell is only 1ft out of the ENE – a real knee-slapper.

The pick of the whole forecast comes about a week from now, on Sunday morning the 6th of September. We see a proper uptick in size and energy: 4ft of NE swell with the combined energy climbing to 102 (moderate). The wind is offshore from the WNW at 16 mph, which should keep the surface clean and lined-up. Bungan Beach is a beach and point setup and is fairly exposed to the swell, and with the NE direction nudging towards the optimum, it should hold the swell nicely. Keep in mind, Bungan’s consistent and usually draws a crowd sometimes, so don’t expect to have it to yourself. This is easily the standout – it’s the most grunty and tidy session on offer.

Monday the 7th of September also has some size (4ft NE) and energy (153 – moderate), but the wind swings cross-shore and then cross-onshore, so it’ll be messier.

After that, the swell drops away again into the second week. We get a little glassy window on Tuesday morning the 8th of September with 2ft NE swell (83 energy – weak to moderate), but the rest of the week is tiny and mostly crossed-up or chopped. The period for many of these later swells is short or medium – nothing to write home about.

Water temp is about average for the time of year, so no shock to the system there.

Honestly, if you’ve got the itch, pencil in Sunday the 6th. The rest of the outlook is a waiting game.

Rusty.
