The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Saaga over the next couple of weeks.

So, straight up, this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window, but for the first week and a half, it’s pretty much a write-off. The wind is the main villain here – relentless cross and cross-onshore breezes, mostly in that 18-25 mph range, just tearing the surface apart. The water temp is sitting at 81°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t show up until Saturday, August 29th. Even then, it’s a marginal call. On the Saturday afternoon, the wind finally swings to a cross-off (ENE at 22 mph), cleaning things up. The swell is a solid 7 ft from the E, with a moderate energy reading of 1348. It’s a short period swell (9 seconds), so it’ll be a bit bumpy, but the clean conditions make it the best option in a bad run. This is a reef break for advanced surfers only, and it can get crowded, so expect company.

Then, Sunday, August 30th morning offers a bit of a different flavor. The swell drops to 3 ft, but it’s a long-period S groundswell (18 seconds) with a strong energy of 1364. The wind is still cross-off (E at 22 mph), so it’ll be clean. That long period is a double-edged sword at a reef – it’ll have proper power and shape, but the sets will be spread out. It’s still marginal surf, but it’s clean.

The real standout, the one that catches my eye, is Monday, September 7th. That’s over a week away, so treat it as a promising but not locked-in call. The morning shows a glassy 3 ft SW groundswell (13 seconds). The wind is a perfect glassy WNW at 3 mph. The energy is modest at 638, but when the wind is dead calm like that, the quality goes through the roof. This is the best-looking session on the entire forecast. The swell is small, so it’s not a big-wave day, but for a clean, fun reef wave, this is the one to circle on the calendar.

After that, the window closes again with more onshore wind and messy conditions.

So, to wrap it up: don’t hold your breath for the first week. If you’re desperate, the August 29th afternoon and August 30th morning are the least bad options. But if you can wait, the best bet by a long shot is the morning of Monday, September 7th for a clean, glassy session.

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.
