Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a tough stretch ahead. For the first nine days, the wind is just relentless – strong onshore or cross-onshore, mostly from the south or southeast, and it’s wrecking any chance of decent surf. The swell is there – we’ve got a solid 6ft to 7ft groundswell coming in from the SW and SSW with periods up to 15 seconds, but with that wind, it’s just a messy, choppy, blown-out mess. The wave energy is high, with readings around 2000 (1919-2003), but it’s all for nothing. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
The only break we’re looking at is Saaga, a reef setup that’s fairly exposed to the swell, and it’s an advanced wave. It’s consistent, but with the wind howling from the SE, it’s just a cross-on mess. The 'offshore' wind is N, which we never get in this period. It’s a write-off for paddle surfing.
From the 18th of July (Saturday), the swell swings around to the SSE, and the wind starts to ease, but it’s still a mixed bag. The 18th is still messy with a strong cross-shore and 10ft of SE wind swell – that’s getting big and ugly, more for kites than paddles.
Now, the real interest comes on Sunday the 19th of July. The wind swings around to the ENE, giving us a light cross-offshore breeze. The morning sees a 5ft SSE groundswell with a period of 14 seconds, and it’s clean. The afternoon gets a bit bigger at 8ft from the ESE, but the period drops to 8 seconds, so it’s a bit lumpier. Still, the morning is the clear standout. The wave energy is strong (2067 in the morning, 1947 in the afternoon). For a rare moment, it’s clean at Saaga. This is the one to aim for. The next day, Monday the 20th, has a similar setup with a cross-off breeze and clean conditions in the afternoon, but the swell is a little smaller and the wind is a bit stronger.
After that, we’re back into the wind from the 21st, with onshore and cross-onshore winds returning, and the swell drops right off, with energy readings falling to 700-400. It’s a classic end to the run.
So, the one bright spot in this whole 16-day outlook is the morning of Sunday the 19th of July. It’s the only time the stars align for a clean wave at Saaga. Get on it if you can.
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.
