The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, switching to feet for the imperial crew. Let’s break down Saaga.
Water temp’s 27°, which is normal for the time of year. No drama there.
Over the full 16-day outlook, it’s a rough ride. The only real glimmer of hope comes on Saturday, September 12th. Before that, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. And from the 13th onward, the wind just ruins it, especially after the 20th, when it’s strong cross-onshore and lumpy right to the end. That’s a solid week-plus of ugly conditions.
The standout is the morning of Saturday the 12th. Swell is about 3ft from the SW, with a clean cross-offshore breeze out of the E at 15 km/h. The reef break is consistent and made for advanced surfers. The swell period is 11 seconds, giving it some push (415 combined energy). Crowds are only “sometimes,” so you’ll get a few waves to yourself. The direction is close enough to the optimum SE – it’ll work.
On Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th, the swell jumps over 5ft and the wind goes cross-onshore with thunderstorms – that’s expert-only stuff. Tuesday the 15th cleans up a bit wind-wise but it’s still blowing 30 km/h and the swell is around 5ft (1906 combined energy). It’s marginal, but you could give it a go if you’re skilled.
Second week? Brutal. From September 20th, it’s fresh cross-onshore wind from the SSE and SE, with swells from 4ft to 6ft, all lumpy and choppy. The combined energy is all over the place, but the wind kills any hope of clean waves. If you’ve got a kite, this stretch might be more your speed than a surfboard.
Best bet? Saturday the 12th morning. After that, it’s a long, rough gap.
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.
