Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Saaga.
Honestly, it’s a tough start. We’re looking at a solid week of onshore winds and messy conditions before anything remotely rideable shows up. The first week is pretty much a write-off for any decent paddle surfing.
We kick off the first recommendation on Thursday, 9 July. For the morning, there’s a clean but marginal surf forecast due to questionable tide conditions. The swell is coming from the SW at 6ft with a very long period of 17 seconds, the combined swell energy is strong (1969). The wind is ENE at 16 mph, which is cross-offshore, so it’s clean. This is a reef break and the water temp is 82°, about normal for this time of year. The afternoon looks a touch better with the score improving slightly. The swell holds at 6ft from the SW, period 16 seconds, and the energy is very strong (2191). Wind goes light NE at 12 mph, still cross-off, keeping it clean. Keep in mind the break is described as ‘sometimes’ crowded, so you might have company.
Look, Thursday the 9th is the only real standout in the whole 16 days – a clean, powerful groundswell on a reef. It’s an advanced wave, so not for beginners. The rest of the run is dominated by onshore winds and lumpy seas. There’s a long gap after that with no real recommendations, just poor surf conditions again through to the end of the period.
If you’re not into that, there’s a window around Saturday, 18 July, but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore and it’s lumpy, with 10ft swell from the SE and short period of 9 seconds – more of a messy, big day that’d be better for kite surfing than a clean paddle session.
So, in short: hold out for Thursday 9 July if you can. Clean, powerful groundswell on the reef. That’s the one.

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.
