The Lowdown
Alright, I’ve looked at the charts for our region. Honestly, it’s a tough one to call. The only spot on the radar is Saaga, a reef break that needs an offshore N wind to really shine, and it’s a consistent wave for you advanced crew. But the wind is going to be a problem for the whole 16-day outlook.
The water is sitting at 81°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year.
We start off Saturday, the 1st of August, with a cross-shore wind that’s just ruining the potential. There’s a small 3ft swell from the south, but with that 22 mph ESE wind, it’s a lumpy, cross-chop mess. The wave energy is moderate at best (596). Not a chance.
Sunday the 2nd is a bit of a tease. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the SSE with a nice 12-second period, and the energy is getting up there (903). But the wind is still cross-shore from the E. It’s going to be choppy and unrideable.
The whole first week is a write-off. We get a building swell, but it’s accompanied by strong cross-onshore winds. By Friday the 7th, we’re looking at 6ft to 6ft of S swell with a 16-second period, but it’s blowing 28 mph from the SE. That’s strong and messy. The energy is very strong (2887), but it’s completely blown out. This is kite-surfing conditions, not paddle surfing.
The second week doesn’t get any better. We see some serious size, with 10ft of swell expected on the 9th and 11th, but the wind stays howling from the ESE. The period drops to 8-9 seconds on the 9th, making it short-period, wind-driven junk. The energy is off the charts (4521 on the 10th), but it’s a near gale cross-onshore. That’s a full-on blown-out mess.
There is a tiny glimmer on the 15th of August. The wind finally swings to a cross-offshore direction from the ENE, and the swell drops to 5ft. It’s from the east with a 10-second period. The energy is weak (596). The report says "clean" for the afternoon, so if you’re desperate, that might be the only window to get a few grovelly ones, but it’s not a standout.
Honestly, for the next 16 days, there’s no good surf on offer. The wind is relentless, and it’s going to be a long blank run. The forecasts can change, but right now, I’d be finding something else to do.

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.
