The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got a look at the forecast for Saaga (reef). It’s a classic setup, but we’re looking at a real mixed bag here.
The start of the period, Monday July 27th, is actually the best we’ll see in the whole 16-day window, so you’ve got to be on it. The water temperature is about average for the time of year. Monday morning shows a clean 5ft swell from the SSE, and the wind is a gentle offshore breeze from the NE, making it a cross-off. The combined energy is solid (709) and the waves are clean. Things get even better Monday afternoon with the wind swinging to a true offshore from the NNE, the same 5ft SSE swell, and the energy jumps up (955) with "gentle offshore and clean" conditions. That’s the standout session, no question.
Tuesday the 28th, the wind turns onshore, the swell is bigger (5ft to 6ft from the SW) but the quality drops right off. A 16-second period from the SW is a long period groundswell, and coupled with a 2026 combined energy reading, there’s a lot of power there, but the cross-onshore wind makes it messy. This is strictly for experts, but the wind is going to make it a real battle.
From Wednesday July 29th all the way through to the end of the forecast on Tuesday August 11th, it’s a long, disappointing stretch. The wind is predominantly cross-onshore from the SE, often strong, and the swell is all over the place. The combined energy figures are often in the four-digit range, meaning there’s plenty of juice, but it’s going to be a lumpy, choppy, and blown-out mess. There’s a period around August 5th to 7th where the swell is a solid 6ft to 7ft from the S with high energy (over 2000), but the wind is howling at 22 mph, making it a total write-off for surfing. The final few days show a short period, jumbled-up swell from the east, which is even worse.
Given the persistent onshore winds and strong, lumpy conditions from the 28th onward, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. The best advice I can give is to be on the water Monday afternoon, July 27th. After that, you’re waiting for a change in the weather pattern that’s not in this forecast.
Rusty.

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.
