The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. The outlook for Saaga is a long, tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is pretty much a write-off for decent surf. There are no real standouts here, and the conditions are just messy for the entire period.

Right off the bat, we’re looking at Monday, the 31st of August, and it’s already a no-go. The wind is howling out of the ESE at 16 mph, cross-shore, and it’s just making a mess of the 5 ft swell. The water is sitting at 81°, which is about normal for this time of year, but that’s the only good news. The energy is moderate (898), but the wave comment says it all: poor surf conditions. It’s a consistent reef break, but with this wind, it’s not worth paddling out.

That pattern sticks around for days. Tuesday the 1st of September, the wind picks up to 22 mph, cross-on, and the swell bumps to 7 ft, but it’s still onshore and lumpy. The energy is moderate (981), but again, the quality is junk. This trend of moderate to strong cross-onshore winds and messy surf continues all the way through the first week. On Thursday the 3rd, we get a brief shift with a 3 ft swell from the SW, period 15 seconds – that’s a long period, proper groundswell – but the wind is still a fresh 22 mph cross-shore, ruining any chance of clean waves. The energy is moderate (1028), but the conditions are still poor.

There’s a tiny flicker of hope on Friday the 4th of September. The morning sees a 5 ft swell from the SSW with a very long period of 17 seconds. The energy is strong (2136), and it’s a groundswell that would be perfect for this reef if the wind was right. But it’s not. The wind is still a fresh 22 mph cross-shore, making it lumpy. The wave comment says “marginal,” and I’d agree – it’s a tease, not a session. The afternoon gets worse with cross-on wind.

The weekend of the 5th and 6th is more of the same. The swell drops a bit, the wind stays up, and it’s all poor or marginal. The energy from the S swell on Saturday the 5th is still strong (2338), but with that wind, it’s just a choppy mess.

The second week doesn’t get any better. From Monday the 7th through to Monday the 14th of September, it’s a relentless grind of cross-on or cross-shore winds, with swell sizes ranging from 3 ft to 5 ft. The energy levels are moderate to strong, but the wind never lets up. The groundswell periods are there, like that 20-second swell on Saturday the 12th, but with the wind howling at 19 to 22 mph, it’s useless.

The very end of the period, on Tuesday the 15th of September, shows a bit of a change. The swell jumps to 8 ft from the SE, but it’s a short period of 8 seconds. The wind is cross-shore at 19 mph, and the energy is strong (1243). The afternoon sees 8 ft with the same short period, and the wind drops slightly to 16 mph cross-shore. The wave comment says “marginal,” but for anyone but experts, this is too big and messy. For the experienced crew, it’s still a battle with the lumpy cross-chop.

Honestly, this is a blank run. The reef is consistent, but the wind is just relentless. It’s not a spot that tends to stay poor for this long, but this run is a shocker. Keep an eye on it, because forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.

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.
