The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Saaga.

We’re looking at a pretty slow start with only a narrow window of decent surf in the week ahead, and then a whole lot of nothing. The first real action doesn’t kick in until the morning of Thursday, 23 July. Up until then, it’s a bit of a write-off – the wind is messy and the swell is small and junky, so don’t expect much.

For the standout, it’s gotta be Thursday, 23 July. Thursday morning serves up a solid 5ft of S swell with a period of 18 seconds. That’s quality groundswell, carrying a lot of energy (1762). Winds are light NE at 9 mph, so it’s clean with a cross-offshore breeze. This is prime conditions for experienced surfers at this reef break. The water is sitting at 81°, which is about average for the time of year, so no wetsuit needed. Just keep in mind that this is a consistent break, but it can get crowded sometimes, so expect company.

Thursday afternoon holds up nicely too – 5ft of SSW swell, with a light 6 mph N offshore wind. That’s glassy, clean surf. The period drops to 17 seconds, but still plenty of energy (1507). This is the best on offer in the whole 16-day window.

After that, the wheels fall off. From Friday, 24 July, right through to the end of the 16 days, it’s a long stretch of poor conditions. The wind swings onshore or cross-onshore, the swell gets messy, and the scores are flat. There’s a brief moment on the morning of 2 August with a 5ft SW swell and a 17 second period, but the wind is a fresh cross-shore, making it lumpy. Not worth the paddle. The periods are long, but with the chop, it’s just not going to shape up.

So, bottom line: if you’re in the area, Thursday 23 July is your day. Don’t waste your energy on the rest.

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.
