The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty again. Let’s run it down in feet and miles.
The only real standout in the whole 16-day run is Monday afternoon, the 27th of July. It’s not huge, with a SSE swell running 5ft, period of 12 seconds, and a light NE breeze blowing cross-off. The combined energy is moderate (943), and it’s described as very good surf conditions. That’s your window. Clean, lined up, and the reef will be working. It’s a consistent spot, so you can expect a few others out, but it’s worth it.
From Tuesday the 28th all the way through to Sunday the 9th of August, it’s a proper write-off. The winds swing onshore and stay there, gusty and lumpy, with a lot of cross-on SE garbage. The swell sticks around but it’s messy, with big numbers like 6ft on Tuesday but the quality is zero. The energy jumps up (1919 on Tuesday morning) but the wind makes it a total chop-fest. There’s a day on the 2nd of August (Sunday morning) with a clear sky and a cross-shore breeze, but the swell is 5ft and the wave state is still marginal with cross-chop – not worth packing the car for.
Then we hit the 10th of August (Monday morning). The wind goes offshore from the NNW at 19 mph, the swell is 4ft from the SW, 16-second period, and the energy is strong (1534). The conditions are clean, but the forecast is still marginal. It’s promising, but not a sure thing.
The real firecracker is on the 11th of August (Tuesday morning). The swell picks up to 6ft from the SSW, period 15 seconds, and the wind goes glassy from the SE at just 3 mph. The combined energy is strong (2352), and it’s described as excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers. This is the one you circle on the calendar. It’s clean, it’s got power, and the reef at Saaga will be handling that long-period groundswell beautifully. Just be aware, with swell over 5ft, it’s not for beginners, and the long period (15 seconds) means it’ll be a bit more drawn out, perfect for the reef. The afternoon gets a bit onshore and the swell jumps to 8ft, which is expert-only territory.
So, to sum it up: the 27th of July afternoon is your immediate, reliable call. The 11th of August morning is the big one, the one to wait for, but it’s still a week and a half away so keep an eye on it. The rest is a lot of wind and chop.
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.
