The Lowdown
Yo, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Saaga, your local reef set-up. It’s a consistent, advanced-only break that’s fairly exposed to swell, with an optimum direction from the SE. The water’s sitting at 81°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year—nothing weird going on there.
Right now, we’ve got a bit of a wait on our hands. The first few days out of the gate are a write-off. Friday afternoon (31 July) is a mess: cross-on 22 mph wind, lumpy, 4 ft swell from the S with a combined energy of 756 (moderate), but the whole thing is just poor. Saturday (1 August) is no better – same story with cross-shore wind and lumpy chop, 5 ft from the ESE. Sunday (2 August) gets a little better on the swell scale – 5 to 5 ft from the SSE, period jumping to 12 seconds, which is proper groundswell, and combined energy up to 1082 (strong). But the wind is still cross-shore, so it’s only marginal at best, with a cross-chop. Monday (3 August) is similar, just a touch smaller. So you’re looking at four days of nothing really worth paddling out for.
Then from Tuesday (4 August) right through to the end of the 16-day window, it’s all poor surf conditions. The wind stays stubbornly cross-on or cross-shore, often fresh to strong. There’s some decent swell windows – like Friday (7 August) with 6 to 7 ft from the S, period 15-16 seconds, combined energy over 2500 (very strong) – but the wind is a strong cross-on, making it messy and blown out. That’s kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing. The size is there, but the quality is trash. Even the bigger days, like Saturday (8 August) with 8 ft from the SE, are ruined by near gale-force cross-onshore winds.
Honestly, there’s no standout session in this whole 16-day run. The wind just never lets up, and the swell direction is mostly off for Saaga’s optimum SE. The best you could hope for is maybe a sneaky early morning on Sunday (2 August) or Monday (3 August) if the cross-shore wind lays down a bit, but even then, it’s marginal. For a spot that’s usually consistent, this is a frustrating stretch. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d save the energy.
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.
