The Lowdown

Alright, let’s talk straight about Saaga. I’ve looked through the whole 16 days and I’ve got to tell you, there’s no good surf on the cards. The finder shows no proper sessions at all. It’s all messed up by strong wind.

The whole period is dominated by those ESE winds blowing 25 to 40 mph, mostly cross-shore or cross-onshore. That’s why every report says “poor surf conditions” – it’s lumpy, messy, cross-chop. Scores are all zeros until the very end.

For the first few days starting August 29th, there’s decent swell size – 8 to 10 ft of ESE swell with a 9-second period. The combined wave energy is high, with readings like 1542 and 1711, so there’s power, but the wind just chops it all up. A reef break like Saaga needs clean conditions, and it’s not getting them. That 8 to 10 ft is way too big for anyone but experts anyway.

On Thursday September 3rd, there’s a weird window with a 3 ft swell from the SW, super long 15-second period. Energy reads 1070, but it’s still 40 mph cross-shore wind. That long period groundswell would be a treat in clean air, but not here.

Water temp’s about 81°F, pretty average for late August. Nothing unusual.

The only time the score even moves up is around September 5th. We get a 6 ft S swell with a very long 17-second period Saturday morning. Combined energy is massive at 3471. But again, that 35 mph cross-shore wind kills it. The score gets a 1 out of 10 – “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions.” That’s the closest thing to a highlight, and it’s not a highlight.

The best chance comes on the last Sunday, September 13th. Winds drop to a moderate 15 mph, still cross-shore, and there’s a 4 ft SW swell with a 14-second period. Energy is 1376. The score finally hits a 2. Still “marginal” with a moderate cross-chop, but that’s the cleanest it’ll get all fortnight.

For an exposed, consistent reef like Saaga, this is a rare empty run. Usually you can bank on something, but not this time. The wind just never gives up. Don’t get your hopes up for the second week – it’s the same story: wind, chop, and frustration.

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.
