The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Saaga. It’s a reef break, fairly exposed to swell, with an optimum direction from the southeast. The water temperature is sitting at 81°, which is a touch under the long-term average for this time of year, but nothing to fuss about – it’s a normal, warm tropical bath.

The truth is, the next week and a half is looking pretty tough. There’s a long stretch of poor conditions starting from Wednesday afternoon the 19th of August and running all the way through to the end of the month. The winds are relentless, mostly cross-onshore, blowing 18 to 28 mph, and the sea state is consistently lumpy, messy, or choppy. Wave energy is moderate to strong, with values like 1032 and 3258, but none of it matters when the wind is trashing the surface. The swell is mostly from the southwest or south, around 4 ft to 8 ft, with periods from 8 to 15 seconds, but the quality just isn’t there. There’s nothing to get excited about here for a surfer – it’s a long, frustrating run of poor surf.

The only glimmer comes later. On Friday morning the 28th of August, early, the wind swings around to the east at 12 mph, going cross-shore. The swell is 6 ft from the SSE, period 10 seconds, and the combined energy is a solid 1878. The conditions are described as “marginal” but with moderate cross-shore chop, it might just be rideable if you’re keen. The following Saturday morning the 29th is cleaner, with a light east-northeast breeze at 12 mph going cross-offshore, giving a clean surface. Swell is smaller though, only 4 ft from the east, period 9 seconds, and energy is low at 495. It’s not a standout, but it’s the best window we’ve got. After that, it’s back to poor or marginal conditions with cross-shore winds and lumpy seas through to the 3rd of September.

If I had to pick the best on offer, it’s the Saturday morning the 29th of August. The wind is light and cross-offshore, so the waves will be clean. The swell is small at 4 ft from the east, which is a good direction for Saaga, and it won’t be too big for most. It’s a reef, so it’s not a beginner wave, but for the advanced crew, this is the one to pencil in. Keep in mind the energy is low (495), so it won’t be pumping, but it’ll be a fun, clean session.

This is a tough outlook for Saaga – a lot of blown-out days with a couple of marginal windows. Cross your fingers the forecasts sharpen up.

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.
