The Lowdown
Alright, let’s run through it in feet and miles per hour. Same spot, Saaga – a reef break that holds a south-east swell, consistent and for advanced surfers only. Crowds can show up sometimes, so keep your wits about you.
Water temp is 81°F, no anomaly, so pretty normal for the season.
First few days are a total mess. From Saturday 12 September through to Friday 18 September morning, you’ve got onshore and cross-onshore winds from the east and south-east at 15 to 20 mph, making the surf choppy and lumpy. Wednesday 16 September has a cleaner cross-off wind and a 5ft SW swell with 16-second period, but the energy is still strong, and the wind isn’t offshore. Not worth it.
The first real window opens on Saturday 19 September afternoon. Offshore wind from the NNE at 12 mph, clean, with a 5ft ESE swell – but only 7-second period, so it’s a bit short and soft. Combined energy is 369, moderate. It’s clean, but not epic.
Sunday 20 September is the standout. Morning has a light north wind at 6 mph, offshore, glassy, with a 3ft SW swell at 16 seconds. That’s long-period groundswell – nice shape, power, and easy paddling between sets. Combined energy 640, moderate. Afternoon gets even better: offshore NNE breeze at 9 mph, swell 3ft, still 16 seconds, energy 713. Very good conditions.
Monday 21 September keeps the quality going. Morning offshore NNW at 9 mph, 4ft SW swell at 14 seconds, energy 939. Afternoon cross-off WNW at 9 mph, 5ft, 14 seconds, energy 980. Both are clean and very good.
After Tuesday 22 September, onshore winds return, and from Wednesday 23 September through to Sunday 27 September, it’s back to poor, windy conditions with strong breezes. The swell hangs around, but the wind kills it.
So, the first week is a wash. The best surf is on Sunday 20 and Monday 21 September – clean, offshore, and a long-period groundswell. Get out there before it turns ugly again.

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.
