The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. I’ve looked over the charts for the next sixteen days, and honestly, I’m struggling to find a wave worth paddling for. We’ve got one break on the radar, Saaga, and it’s a reef setup that takes a south-east swell. But the wind for the entire run is a nightmare.
The first recommendation doesn’t kick in until the 1st of September, and from there, it’s a grim slog. We’re looking at a solid 16-day stretch with no decent surf. The energy is there, but it’s all blown out.
From Tuesday afternoon, the 1st, through to the end of the window on the 16th, the wind is hammering from the ESE, SE, or SSE, constantly cross-on or cross-shore at 15 to 25 mph. That’s fresh to strong breeze, turning what could be a decent swell into a lumpy, choppy mess. The swell direction is mostly ESE or SW, which is fine for the spot, but with that wind, it’s just not surfable.
For a couple of days, the 4th and 5th of September, the swell does get some size and energy, with a solid S swell pushing 6ft to 6ft and periods of 16 to 17 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, and the energy numbers are in the thousands, showing there’s some serious power. But the wind is still cross or cross-on, and the reports say “marginal” or “poor” conditions. It’s a tease.
The water temperature is 81°F with no anomaly, so it’s about average for this time of year, but you won’t be enjoying it.
There is no standout. There is no best day. For a reef break that’s consistent and exposed, this is a shocking run of onshore wind. If you’re a kiter, the cross-on breeze might be your thing, but for a surfer, this is a write-off. Don’t bother. The only thing that might change is the forecast, but right now, it’s a full blank.
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.
