The Lowdown
Right, listen up. Rusty here. This forecast for Saaga is a bloody long wait for the good stuff, so don't get your hopes up for the first week. The water is sitting at a normal 81.3°F for this time of year.
We’ve got a whole heap of days with nothing worth paddling out for. From the start of the forecast right through to the end of the first week, it’s a write-off. Strong, messy cross-onshore winds and lumpy sea state are the story. The swell energy is moderate to strong, hitting as high as 1829 on the 5th of August, but it’s all wind-affected junk. That 8.2ft swell on the 5th with a short period and cross-on wind is a total mess. It kicks up to 4012 for the 7th, but it's still not right.
The first real standout finally shows up on Saturday the 8th of August. The morning is the pick. Saaga is a reef break, so it handles it well. We’ve got a solid 7.2ft swell rolling in from the south, with a long period of 16 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy. But the best part? Offshore wind from the north (9 mph) making it clean. The combined energy is a very strong 2913. This is expert territory at over 5ft, and there’s often a crew out, so expect some company. A very long period groundswell like this at a reef break will have some proper lines.
Sunday the 9th is still fun, dropping to a still-clean 4.6ft south swell, lighter winds, perfect for the guys who aren't frothing on the bigger stuff. The long-range outlook from the 10th onwards drops off again into small, weak surf and poor winds, so don't hold your breath.

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.
