The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, this one’s a tough window. The first real surf to speak of at Saaga (reef) arrives on Saturday the 25th of July, with a solid 7ft SSE swell pushing in at a very long 13 seconds. That’s a groundswell with some serious grunt – the combined energy is a hefty 1449 (moderate-strong). But here’s the rub: the wind is a cross-shore from the E at 15 mph, and the wave comment flags marginal surf and questionable tide. It’s a bit of a tease. The water’s sitting at 81°, which is bang on average for the time of year.

Sunday the 26th actually cleans up nicely. The wind swings to a cross-offshore from the ENE, dropping to 9 mph in the afternoon, with the swell still a solid 6ft from the S at 13 seconds. The energy is still strong around 1101. Conditions are described as "clean." This is a genuine standout for the early window. For an advanced spot like Saaga, that’s your best bet for the next few days.

Monday the 27th stays clean with light cross-off winds, but the swell drops to 4-5ft. The energy eases to the 797-867 range. It’s perfectly surfable and clean, but not the same punch as the weekend.

Then things go south. From Tuesday the 28th of July, through to the start of August, the wind clocks around to the SE and picks up, hammering Saaga with a relentless cross-onshore. The swell direction swings to the SW, and while the period is long (15-16 seconds), the wind ruins it. The energy is still high – 1677 on Tuesday morning – but the wave comments are all "poor" or "marginal." This is a week-long stretch of frustrating, lumpy, choppy waves. Not for the faint of heart, and honestly, more interesting for kite surfers than paddle surfers during this stint.

We get a slight breather on Monday the 3rd of August, with the swell dropping to 5ft and the wind easing back to a cross-shore from the ESE. The energy is still moderate at 1117, but the conditions are still "moderate cross-shore with a cross-chop." It’s a step up from the mess, but nothing to write home about.

The second week of August is a bit of a mixed bag. Strong cross-onshore winds remain the dominant story, with a few days of lumpy, messy conditions. However, look at Sunday the 9th of August. We’ve got a big, chunky 10ft swell from the ESE, but it’s a short-period, wind-driven swell at only 8 seconds. The energy is very strong at 1990. The wind is cross-shore, not straight onshore, but the comment says "fresh cross-shore with lumpy cross-chop." That’s a lot of water moving around, and with that short period, it’s going to be a bit of a washing machine. This one is for experts only if it clean up, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.

For the best of the bunch, I’d say the Sunday 26th of July morning and afternoon sessions are your clear winners. Clean, solid, long-period swell from the S with a light cross-offshore. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. The Monday 27th is a decent backup. Everything else is a battle with the wind.

Stay safe out there.

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.
