The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. The long-range picture for Saaga is a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s a light at the end of the tunnel if you’re willing to wait.

For the next week and a half, we’re looking at a lot of blown-out, cross-shore slop. The swell’s there, but the wind is just murdering it. We’ve got moderate to fresh cross and cross-onshore breezes kicking up a nasty chop, making conditions pretty woeful. The energy is moderate at best, with values in the hundreds and low thousands (1025, 901, 1299), but it’s all for nothing with the wind so messy.

The first real glimmer comes on the 13th, as a longer-period SW groundswell starts to fill in, with 20-second periods and energy jumping to 2563 on the Sunday afternoon. It’s still cross-shore, but the tide looks questionable and the surf is only about 5.6ft. It’s a tease, not a green light.

Then things get serious around the 14th and 15th. The swell builds to a solid 7.2ft with strong energy readings of 3239 and 3187, but the wind is still a problem, coming from the ESE and keeping things lumpy and cross. This is where it gets heavy. With 7.2ft, this is not a beginner wave, and the quality is capped by the wind. The period drops to 17 seconds, a solid groundswell, but it's not working its magic here yet.

The standout is Sunday the 20th. That morning, the wind finally swings to the west, giving us a clean, cross-offshore flow. We’ve got a 4.9ft SW swell with a 20-second period, and the energy is moderate at 1818. This is the window. The wave will have some punch and structure to it, and with the clean surface, Saaga (South Pacific) will be the pick of the bunch. It’s a reef break, so it can hold that energy, and it’s fairly exposed to the SW swell, matching the optimum direction. This is the one to circle on the calendar. It’s over a week out, so call it promising rather than a lock, but it’s far and away the best on offer.

Saturday the 19th shows a brief offshore window from the north, but the swell is smaller and shorter period, so not worth getting too excited about.

Overall, we’re waiting out a lot of junk for one clean morning. The energy on the 20th is there, the direction is right, and the wind is finally our friend. If you can only paddle out once in the next couple of weeks, make it Sunday the 20th.

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.
