The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down for Saaga. This is Rusty, and we’re looking at a rough start.
The water sits at 81°F, so nothing out of the ordinary for this time of year. But the first two weeks of August? Rubbish. Solid swell shows up, but the wind is relentless from the east and southeast, straight cross-onshore or a messy cross-shore. You’ve got a 3-foot to 5-foot swell early on, but it’s blown to bits. Wave energy is moderate to strong, topping out over 3800 on the 10th, but that just means big, choppy, dangerous conditions.
From the 5th through the 14th, it’s a nightmare. Swell builds to 10 feet on the 7th, then drops back to around 8 feet, but the wind is howling at 40 to 55 km/h. Short periods of 8 to 13 seconds mean steep, messy closeouts. For paddle surfing? Forget it. This is kite surfing territory.
The only real window of hope comes on Saturday the 15th of August. The wind finally shifts to offshore – from the north and north-northeast. The swell is still a solid 8 feet from the east-southeast, a bit off the ideal direction, but clean. The afternoon of the 15th is the pick of the bunch: moderate offshore breeze, clean lines, and wave energy is strong (around 1829). This is for experienced surfers only at that size.
Sunday the 16th keeps the good run going – gentle offshore wind, a 7-foot swell, clean conditions. Then Monday the 17th morning goes glassy, with barely any wind and a 6-foot swell. It’ll be clean and fun for a short period swell of 8 seconds.
So, two solid days at the end – the 15th and 16th. The rest is a long, windy wait. The break is a reef, so that clean offshore window will deliver. Crowds are only sometimes an issue here, so you might have it to yourself.
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.
