The Lowdown
G’day, it’s Rusty.
I’m not gonna hold back—this 16-day run at Saaga is a total dud. From August 10th right through to the 25th, there isn’t a single session worth getting wet for. That’s a long, frustrating dry spell with nothing on offer, so if you’re waiting for a wave, you’re out of luck.
The wind is the killer. It’s stuck coming out of the east to southeast, blowing 15 to 25 mph, mostly cross or cross-onshore, just tearing the surface up. The swell does show some power—like Monday the 10th, with a solid 8ft southerly groundswell at a very long 16 seconds, packing strong energy (4335)—but with a strong breeze hitting it sideways, it’s pure chaos. That kind of power is totally wasted. Later in the first week, the swell hangs around 5ft to 8ft, often from the east-southeast with a short 9-second period, and all that does is add lumpy, cross-chop.
When the wind does finally drop a bit—like Tuesday the 18th—the swell is around 5ft to 6ft out of the southwest with a long 17-18-second period, and the water cleans up with a light breeze, but the forecast still only calls it marginal. The water temp is 81°, which is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
Between the constant onshore wind, the messy conditions, and no real window of quality, there’s nothing here that gets me pumped. With that wind and swell combo, I’d say this is looking more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Maybe next time.
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.
