The Lowdown
Alright, I’ll be straight with you. The whole 16-day outlook is a tough one for Saaga. It’s a real bummer, because this reef break can be a proper barrel, but we’re looking at a long stretch of dirty wind and blown-out, lumpy conditions.
The only real shot is the early session on Thursday, July 23rd. The morning is your one and only window. We’re talking a clean 5 ft swell from the S, with a very long 18-second period. That’s a proper groundswell, packing some serious energy. The water’s a warm 81°F, which is about average for the time of year. The real win is the light 10 km/h ENE wind, which is blowing offshore from the N. That’s going to make the reef glassy and clean. This is strictly for advanced surfers, so it’s a crew-only spot. You’ll have the place to yourself. It’s a solid window.
After that, the wind turns onshore and never lets up. Starting Thursday afternoon, it’s cross-on from the SE, and the quality goes south. From Friday, July 24th, all the way to August 7th, it’s a brutal stretch of fresh to strong cross-onshore winds, lumpy, choppy, and messy. The swell sticks around, but it’s all wind-affected and trashy. Through the end of July, the period drops to short, choppy windswell, and it’s just not worth paddling out. There’s a long gap of days with no worthwhile surf. Honestly, the conditions look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing if you’re into that.
So, your only chance is dawn patrol on Thursday, July 23rd. Get it while it’s good.

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.
