The Lowdown

Alright, let’s talk about Saaga. This is a consistent reef break that’s fairly exposed to swell, and it likes an offshore from the north. The water temperature is sitting at 27°, which is pretty standard for this time of year – nothing unusual there.

Looking at the next 16 days, I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a pretty grim run. There’s a long stretch of onshore wind and lumpy, messy surf. The first several days, from Friday the 21st all the way through the end of the month, are dominated by a fresh cross-onshore breeze. The swell is coming from the south and southeast, but the wind is just ruining it. The wave energy is moderate to strong though – you'll see readings like 1397 and 2175, so there’s definitely power in the water, but it’s not clean. It’s a real shame because there’s some decent size, with waves around 4ft to 6ft, and even 8ft on the 25th, but the cross-on wind makes it choppy and bumpy.

The period is mostly between 8 and 16 seconds, so there’s some groundswell in the mix, especially on the 22nd afternoon with a 15-second period, but again, the wind is just not cooperating. That kind of long period is better suited to point breaks or reefs, but even here the wind is a problem.

There is a brief glimmer on the 30th – Sunday morning – where the wind turns cross-offshore from the ENE at 12 mph, and the water cleans up. You’ll see waves around 6ft coming from the ESE with a 10-second period, and the energy is moderate (1266). It’s described as “clean,” but it’s still just a marginal surf forecast. That’s the best you’re going to get in this window, and it’s not a standout.

After that, things go back to poor again. The first week of September is more of the same: onshore winds, lumpy conditions, and only a few moments where the wind drops to a cross-shore cross-off. The swell stays around 3ft to 6ft, but the energy fades to weak levels by the 31st (577), and it stays weak through the start of September. The 2nd of September has a strong cross-off breeze from the ENE at 25 mph, but the waves are only 5ft, and the overall call is still poor.

To be honest, there’s not a single day I’d recommend paddling out here for a good session. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the consistent wind and lumpy conditions. The only hope is the 30th – that Sunday morning with the clean cross-off breeze – but even then, it’s not great. If you’re desperate, go for that, but don’t expect much.

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.
