Table - best surf conditions forecast for Saaga over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Saaga. This is a proper reef setup for advanced surfers, consistent when conditions play nice. Water temp is around 81°F, pretty much average for this time of year. The optimum swell direction is SE, but we’re seeing a lot of S and SSW pulses – not ideal but can work with good wind.
First few days are a waste. Wednesday July 22nd – a 3ft S swell with 17-second period, but east wind at 15 mph kills it. Cross wind, choppy, marginal. Afternoon no better.
Then Thursday morning July 23rd – that’s the real deal. Swell hits 5ft from the south, deep 18-second period – proper groundswell. Combined energy is strong at 1722. Wind is light from the north-northeast at 6 mph, cross-offshore, glassy clean. For a reef, that’s magic. Excellent waves for experienced surfers. Crowds are possible sometimes, so get in early. Thursday afternoon the wind turns south-southwest cross-on and quality drops.
Friday the 24th through the end of July is ugly. Onshore winds from the east and southeast, 12–19 mph, messy surf. The 25th afternoon has a 6ft wave but it’s choppy. Sunday the 26th morning has a 6ft S swell but wind is cross-shore and period down to 13 seconds – still marginal. The rest of the week is onshore, lumpy, even thunderstorms.
Into August, same story. Onshore winds, moderate to fresh, swell heights 3–6ft but always choppy. August 5th morning has a 6ft S swell with strong energy (1801) but cross-on wind ruins it. August 6th is onshore from the south with a short 7-second ESE swell – total junk. No standouts in the second week.
So, if you’re an advanced surfer and can hit Saaga on Thursday morning July 23rd, that’s your only real shot. Everything else is a dud. Keep an eye on the forecast – things can change.

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.
