The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the coming weeks.
To be straight with you, the outlook is a bit of a tough one. We’re looking at a long, frustrating run of messy conditions and not much to get excited about. The first real shot of anything half-decent doesn’t come until late in the game, but even then it’s a gamble.
For the first three weeks, from the 19th of July right through to the end of the month, it’s one thing after another. Onshore and cross-shore winds are relentless, whipping up a lumpy, choppy mess. The combined swell energy is often strong, with values between 864 and 3336, but it’s all noise and no quality. The swell direction fights with what the break wants, and the period swings from a short 8 seconds up to a long 20 seconds. That 20-second groundswell would be a dream at a reef or point, but the wind just ruins it. It’s a write-off for a paddle surfer. Honestly, a few of those bigger, wind-affected days with that much energy might be more interesting for a kite surfer.
The first week of August brings a slight change, but it’s still marginal. The morning of the 2nd of August sees a smaller, 1.4m easterly swell with a gentle cross-shore breeze. The combined energy drops to 853. It’s not clean by any stretch, but it’s the least offensive option in this whole run. The next morning, the 3rd of August, a 1.7m easterly swell pops up, but the wind swings back to a moderate cross-onshore, making it choppy again.
So, if I had to point to a standout – and I mean this very loosely – it would be Saaga (reef) on the afternoon of the 2nd of August. The swell is 1.6m from the east, with the wind easing to a gentle cross-shore. It’s a marginal call, but with the period around 9 seconds, it’s the closest we get to a window of opportunity in this whole 16-day forecast. The water temperature is about 27.5°, which is bang on average for this time of year.
It’s a bleak run. Hang in there.

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.
