The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty, and I'm looking at the 16-day outlook for Saaga. Honestly, it's a tough stretch ahead. The water temperature is sitting right around 81°, which is about average for this time of year, so at least you won't need a steamer.
The first ten days are a write-off, I'm afraid. The wind is stuck in a relentless cross-onshore pattern from the ESE, blowing at 18 to 25 mph, making the surf lumpy and messy. The swell comes in from the ESE and S, but the quality is just poor. There's a window from the 3rd into the 4th where the combined energy jumps up to 1800, but it's all wasted on that onshore wind. The period gets up to 17 seconds on the 4th, which is a proper groundswell, but it's not going to do you any favours with that cross-chop. So, we're looking at a dry spell until the 11th.
The first little glimmer appears on Friday the 11th. The wind eases back to a gentle 9 mph from the east, turning cross-shore. The swell is 4 ft from the SSW with a 15-second period, and the combined energy is a respectable 1395. The forecast calls it marginal, but for the first time in over a week, it's not a total mess. It's not a standout, but it's the best we've seen.
Then on Sunday the 13th, things get interesting. The wind drops to almost nothing, a light 3 mph from the SE, making it cross-onshore but with only small wind ripples. The swell is 5 ft from the SW at a very long 17 seconds. The combined energy hits 1373. This is the best window of the whole outlook. Saaga is a reef break, and that long-period groundswell will wrap in nicely. The wind is light enough that it could be glassy. The water temp is still nice. This is your session.
The surf tries to build again on the 14th, with 6 ft to 7 ft swell from the SW, but the wind picks back up to a moderate 12-15 mph cross-onshore, so it's messy again. The 15th sees a big 5 ft swell from the SW with a 18-second period and combined energy of 2334, but the wind is a fresh 22 mph cross-shore, making it lumpy. It's a shame, because that's a lot of energy.
So, to wrap it up: forget the first week and a half. The 13th is your best bet, with that light wind and long-period groundswell. The 11th is a decent fallback if you're desperate. The rest is a battle with the wind.
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.
