The Lowdown
Alright, let’s take a look at what’s going on in the water over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you—this stretch is a tough one for paddle surfers, especially if you’ve got your heart set on Saaga.
The forecast shows a long run of messy, blown-out conditions with strong cross-onshore winds and lumpy, choppy waves. The energy is there, no doubt, with combined swell energy readings jumping from 774 (moderate) right up to over 2600 (strong) on several days, but the wind is just ruining it. The swell is mostly coming from the SE, which matches the optimum direction for this reef break, but the period is often short—around 8 seconds—which means weak, wind-affected lumps. There’s no real clean surf on offer until around Thursday the 23rd of July, and even then it’s just marginal.
The standout moment, if you’re a confident surfer, looks to be Thursday afternoon the 23rd of July. The wind swings offshore from the north at 35 km/h, cleaning things up nicely. The swell is 4 ft from the SSW with a very long period of 19 seconds—that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy (1685) is strong. This kind of long-period swell can be a bit straight at some beach breaks, but Saaga is a reef, and that’s where it really shines. The wave quality won’t be perfect, but it’s the cleanest window in the whole outlook. Just be aware, the water temperature is about 82°F, which is normal for the time of year, so no surprises there.
After that, the 24th of July has a brief window of light wind, but the swell is already dropping. From then on, it’s back to cross-on winds and choppy, messy surf right through to the end of the month. The last few days of July show a couple of marginal days with clean but weak swell, but nothing worth getting excited about.
Overall, if you can wait for that Thursday afternoon window on the 23rd, it’s your best bet. The rest of the 16-day period is mostly a write-off for quality waves. The surf breaks along this stretch are fairly consistent, so it’s not unusual for the wind to block the fun—but it’s frustrating, no doubt.

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.
