The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’ve got a 16-day outlook for Saaga, and I’ll be straight with you – it’s a tough one. This is a consistent, advanced reef break that’s fairly exposed to the swell, but for the vast majority of this period, the wind is just going to ruin it. We’re looking at a long stretch of strong, cross-onshore winds that are going to make conditions poor and messy. The water temperature is sitting at 82°F, which is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t pop up until the tail end of the window. For the first ten days, from July 14th through to the 23rd, it’s a write-off. We’ve got strong winds from the SE and ESE, 22 to 28 mph, constantly blowing cross-on or cross-shore, creating lumpy, choppy, and messy conditions. The swell is there – we see some moderate to strong wave energy readings, like 1236, 1547, and even a 3012 reading on the 18th – but it’s all ruined by the wind. The swell heights get up to 10 ft, but with that wind, it’s just a washing machine. Only for the experienced, and even then, it’s no fun.
There’s a brief flicker of hope on July 24th, the Friday afternoon. We get a gentle breeze turning cross-offshore, and the wave energy has dropped to 301. The swell is only 2 ft from the SE, and the period is 11 seconds. It’s small, but it’s clean. That’s your best bet for a session, but it’s more of a longboard or a funboard day.
Then, after a few more days of choppy, onshore slop, the very end of the outlook brings something interesting. On July 29th, the Wednesday afternoon, we have a fresh breeze going cross-off, and the wave energy is up to 1382. The swell is 4 ft from the SW with a very long 17-second period. That’s a proper groundswell. For a reef like Saaga, that long period will wrap in nicely and hold up. The wind is cleaning it up. This is the standout of the whole forecast. It’s a long way out, so don’t book the time off yet, but keep an eye on it. That’s the one session that could be firing.
So, to sum it up: a long, frustrating gap of poor conditions, one small clean window on the 24th, and a promising, but uncertain, groundswell on the 29th. That’s the deal.
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.
