Table - best surf conditions forecast for Saaga over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s switch to feet and Fahrenheit. We’re on Saaga – a reef that needs a decent SE swell and clean wind. Water temp is 82°F – that’s right on the average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.
First real chance is Thursday the 9th. Morning has a 4ft SW groundswell, period a very long 17 seconds, energy at 1953 – that’s a lot of power. But the morning is a mess with a cross-shore wind and risk of thunderstorms. The afternoon, though, is the one. The wind goes light cross-offshore, the swell bumps up to 7ft, still SW, 16-second period, and the energy is cooking at 2693. It’s clean. That’s a proper session for the experienced guys – it’s a heavy reef. Crowds are possible, so you might have some company.
Friday the 10th through the weekend is a total dud. Onshore wind, rain, poor conditions. Choppy, blown out. That’s a solid 5-day gap with nothing worth paddling for.
The second week doesn’t offer much hope. Around the 18th and 19th, we get a bump of SSE swell – 6ft and 6ft, periods around 14-15 seconds, energy hitting 3145 and 2396. But the wind is cross-shore or cross-on, fresh to strong, making it lumpy and messy. Honestly, this looks more like a kiteboarding session than a surf session. The reef will be draining, but it won’t be the clean lines we want.
The last few days, from the 21st, are marginal. Swell drops to about 5ft, period shortens, wind stays cross or cross-on. It’s a tough forecast for Saaga. No real standout to save the trip.

Information about the Saaga Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Saaga provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Saaga can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Saaga 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 (Saaga) 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 Saaga 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.
