Table - best surf conditions forecast for Saaga over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a window of proper surf coming up, but the first few days are a write-off. The good stuff doesn’t kick in until Thursday the 9th. For the week ahead, the standout is a solid, clean swell that’ll have the advanced crew grinning.
The first couple of days, Wednesday the 8th, are a total washout. Onshore winds and lumpy, poor conditions mean don’t even bother paddling out. The swell is messy and the wind is just ruining it.
Then, Thursday the 9th is where it’s at. We see a proper pulse of south-west groundswell hitting. The morning has 4ft of swell, but the period is a long 17 seconds, and the wind is a light north-east breeze, blowing cross-offshore. That’s clean. The wave energy ramps up to a solid 1800 (moderate energy) in the morning, and by the afternoon, it’s pumping 7ft with a 16-second period and a light north-west cross-offshore flow. The combined energy jumps to 3054 (strong energy). This is excellent, experienced-surfer territory. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so a spring suit is fine.
Friday and Saturday the 10th and 11th are a letdown. The wind swings onshore, and the quality drops out. The swell is still there, but it’s blown out and marginal. Not worth your time.
Sunday the 12th through to the middle of the following week is a long stretch of average to poor conditions. The wind is stubbornly cross-onshore, keeping the surface lumpy and choppy. The swell energy is moderate, but the wind is a killer. It’s a dry spell of about 5 days with no real recommendation.
Now, if you’re looking a bit further ahead, there’s a glimmer. Tuesday the 21st is interesting. The wind drops right out by the afternoon, going glassy, with a light east-north-east breeze of 3 mph. The swell is 4ft from the south-west with a very long 17-second period, but the energy is a lighter 813 (weak energy). The conditions should be clean and glassy, making it a good session for a more mellow board.
The real standout of the whole 16-day window, though, is Wednesday the 22nd. The morning brings a solid 8ft south swell with a 10-second period and a light north-north-west cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is 1846 (moderate to strong). This is a punchy, powerful swell for experienced surfers only. The wind will keep it clean. Afternoon drops back to 6ft with a south-south-east swell, but it’s still clean. This is the one to circle on the calendar. Saaga is a consistent reef break, so expect a proper wave, but it’s an advanced spot, and crowds are possible.
After that, the forecast turns windy again, so get it while you can.
Rusty.

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.
