The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, the first week and a half is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a long stretch of poor surf from Tuesday the 28th of July through to about the 8th of August. The wind is mostly howling cross-onshore, and the swell is messy and lumpy. There’s a few days of shorter period stuff in the mix, but the conditions are just not cooperating. The energy is moderate at best, and the scores are all zeros. It’s a tough stretch for paddle surfing.
The real hope comes on the 10th of August. The standout is Saaga (a reef break). This is where the magic finally lines up. We’ve got a solid groundswell rolling in from the South at 8ft, with a very long period of 15 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a strong 3222, and the wind is offshore from the NNE, blowing at 12 mph. The water temp is 81°, which is pretty much normal for the time of year. This is for experienced surfers only, as that size and period will be packing a punch. This is the best on offer by a long shot.
The 11th of August is still decent, with a 5ft swell from the South and moderate offshore winds, but the energy is lower. It’s a solid follow-up, but not a patch on Monday.
After that, the 12th of August sees the swell drop back to 4ft, and while the wind is offshore, it’s not the same quality or power. The energy drops to 535. It’s a clean, small day, but nothing to get too excited about.
So, the takeaway: the first ten days are a bust. There’s a gap of nearly two weeks of poor surf before that Monday the 10th delivers a proper, powerful, clean session. Mark it in your calendar.
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.
