Alright, let’s switch to feet and degrees for the imperial crew.
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks at Saaga.
First thing you need to know: the next week and a half is a write-off. We’re looking at a solid 10-day stretch of poor conditions. The wind is relentless from the southeast, cross-on and strong, just tearing the surface apart. It’s a real shame because there’s plenty of water moving – the swell energy is moderate to very strong (1932 to 3292), but it’s short-period, wind-affected mess. A lot of this is going to be more interesting for kite surfers than paddle surfing. The water temperature is about 82°, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
The first real glimmer of hope arrives on Wednesday, July 22. The wind finally swings around to the north-northeast, going light and offshore. The swell drops right down to 4ft from the south at 16 seconds, but it’s clean. The combined energy is still moderate (942). It’s a marginal gamble, but the glassy conditions make it a sneaky window for a patient surfer.
Now, the standout. If you can hold out, Thursday, July 23 is your day. The morning is looking excellent. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell from the south, with a long period of 19 seconds, and a moderate offshore breeze from the north at 12 mph. The combined energy is strong (1810). This is a proper groundswell, and while it can be a bit straight at beach breaks, being a reef setup, Saaga should handle it beautifully. The wind stays clean in the afternoon, but it goes cross-off, so grab the morning. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so be prepared for some company.
After that, it fades out. The wind swings back onshore and the swell drops, sending us back into poor surf conditions from the 24th onward. The 23rd is the one to circle.
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.
