The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming down the pipe for Saaga.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: the first week and a half is going to be a tough slog. There's plenty of swell energy in the water, but the wind is just a nightmare for most of it. We're looking at a big gap before anything really comes together for a proper surf.
The whole run kicks off from Sunday the 13th with a big, powerful SW groundswell. I'm talking strong to very strong wave energy (1921) pushing through, but with a cross-onshore wind from the SE at 16 mph, it's just chopped out. Conditions are poor and will stay that way through Monday and Tuesday, with the wind picking up to 19 mph and the swell climbing to 8ft. That kind of size with that wind is a mess.
We finally get a little break in the weather on Wednesday the 16th afternoon. The wind swings around to a cross-offshore breeze from the ENE at 12 mph and cleans things up nicely. The swell is down to a smaller 4ft from the SW, but it's still got some good period (16 seconds). It’s a marginal call, but at least the face will be clean.
Now, if you can hold out, the best window opens up on Thursday the 17th. Thursday morning is the real standout for this whole forecast. The wind goes completely glassy, just 3 mph from the SE, and there's a nice, clean S swell running at 4ft with a solid 14-second period. The wave energy is moderate (1282), but with those conditions, the waves will have shape. This is the one to aim for.
After that, the wind starts to mess things up again, but we do get another nice-looking pocket on Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th. Saturday afternoon looks good with a gentle offshore wind from the N at 9 mph, cleaning up a smaller 3ft S swell. Sunday the 20th has even lighter winds and a new SW groundswell showing up with a very long 16-second period. The wave energy is moderate (773), but with light offshore breezes, it'll be clean and fun.
Looking further out, Monday the 21st has some potential with a bigger 6ft SW groundswell and a light offshore wind in the morning that will make for excellent conditions for experienced surfers. That one's promising but it's a long way off, so we'll have to see how it shapes up.
To sum it up: don't waste your time this week. Wait for the glassy conditions on Thursday morning the 17th. That's the one.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
