The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, with the skinny on Saaga in feet and knots.
First week is a bit of a struggle. There’s a lot of wind messing up the lineup. The only real bright spot is on Thursday the 23rd.
From Monday the 20th through Wednesday the 22nd, the onshore and cross-shore breezes are making it lumpy and choppy. The swell is there, but it ain’t worth the hassle.
Thursday morning the 23rd is the one to circle. Saaga is a reef break for the advanced crew, and it goes glassy. That’s huge. We’re looking at a clean 5ft south swell with a 18-second period. That’s a long-period groundswell, which on a reef will give you some real nice shape. The combined wave energy is strong. The water temp is 82°, which is normal for this time of year. This is your best chance.
After that, from Friday the 24th, the wind turns back onshore and cross-onshore, and the chop comes back in. Some days are marginal, but the wind keeps it from being clean.
Into the second week, from the 28th of July, the wind stays strong and cross-onshore, with some rain showers. The swell gets bigger, hitting 6ft on the 30th and again on the 2nd of August, but it’s all blown out. The energy is high, but it’s not a paddle surfer’s dream. If you’re into kite surfing, those days with the fresh cross-onshore wind and decent swell might be more your thing.
So, mark your calendar for Thursday morning the 23rd. The rest of it is a bit of a rough patch.
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.
