The Lowdown

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

Honestly, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The entire 16-day window is looking pretty grim for Saaga. There’s no real standout period, and the first decent recommendation doesn’t even pop up until Sunday, August 30th. Before that, we’re looking at a solid six-day stretch of poor surf conditions from Monday the 24th right through to Saturday the 29th. The wind is just relentless, with fresh to strong cross-onshore and cross-shore breezes making a mess of everything. The swell is there, but it’s not doing us any favours.

So, the *best* we’ve got – and it’s a relative term – comes around on Sunday, August 30th. The morning offers a bit of a reprieve with a clean cross-offshore wind, though the swell is fairly small at 4 ft from the south. The period is a long 16 seconds, which is proper groundswell, but for a reef break like Saaga, that long period can actually make it break a bit too straight. The water temperature is 81°F, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing wild there. The afternoon Monday the 31st also shows a window of clean conditions with a 5 ft swell from the ESE, but it’s still marginal.

If you’re a beginner, the swell sticks around 3 ft to 5 ft during these cleaner windows, which is fine, but the quality is just not there. For the experts, the big swell we saw on the 27th and 28th hit over 8 ft, but the wind was so bad it was a write-off. The combined wave energy was strong, hitting over 1900 (moderate-strong), but it was all wind-battered.

Given the persistent cross-shore wind and lumpy conditions, especially when the swell gets over 7 ft, this setup honestly looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of the period. The only real hope is the last few days of the month, but even then, it’s just a clean-up of a messy situation.

Hang in there, 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.
