The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks at Saaga, our only reef slab in the running.

The forecast opens with a bit of a tease on Tuesday, August 4th. We’ve got a clean 4 ft swell from the SW, with a solid 13-second period pushing in from the deep. The wind is light and onshore, but it’s manageable. The real issue is the overall energy is moderate (608), and the report says it’s “marginal” – likely a tide issue or just not enough push. It’s a small window, but if you’re a local who knows the reef, you might get a couple. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

From Wednesday, August 5th, right through to the start of the second week, things get ugly. The wind swings SE and cranks up to 19–31 mph, blowing straight onshore or cross-onshore. The swell jumps up, but it’s a complete mess. By Thursday, August 6th, we’ve got a 7 ft SSE swell with a short period, and the energy hits 1618 – that’s strong, but it’s all raw power with no shape. By Saturday, August 8th, we’re looking at 12 ft surf and near-gale winds. That’s not surfing; that’s a survival mission. The beach setup would be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now. This grim stretch runs for a solid eight days.

Now, finally, there’s a flicker of hope on Monday, August 10th. The afternoon sees a clean 8 ft swell from the S, with a very long 16-second period. The wind goes cross-offshore from the E at 28 mph, which is stiff, but it’s clean. The energy is massive (4120), so this is a serious groundswell. The problem? That long period groundswell is going to pour in fast and straight. For a reef like Saaga, that could be epic if the direction lines up with the optimum SE direction, but it might also run too straight and just unload close to the rock. This is your best bet of the whole forecast, but it’s still a tough call. The wind is strong, so it’s only for the experienced crew.

After that, the swell drops back to 5 ft–6 ft through the week, but the wind stays cross and messy. The last day, August 19th, is a write-off again with onshore winds. The final few days from August 16th to 18th offer some clean, smaller waves (3 ft–3 ft) with a decent period, and the wind goes light or cross-off, but the energy is weak (under 1000). It’s small, clean, and likely mellow – a good end-of-run session for a longboard if you’re bored.

The standout? If you’re an expert, Monday, August 10th afternoon is the only real window. Big, powerful, long-period groundswell, and clean conditions. It’s a beast, but it’s worth a look. For everyone else, the first week is a total write-off, and the second week is small and inconsistent.

Stay safe out there.

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.
