The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough spell for Saaga. We're looking at a real rough patch of weather and swell that just won't line up for a decent paddle. It's a long stretch of messy, blown-out conditions, with a bit of a glimmer right at the very end of the 16-day window.

First up, the water temp is sitting at 81°F, which is just about normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be freezing while you're getting thrashed.

The immediate forecast is a write-off. We’ve got a powerful, heavy swell coming through from August 8th, with up to 13ft SSE swell and a whopping combined energy of 2484. Sounds exciting, right? Wrong. The wind is blowing a near gale from the SE, right onshore, turning it into a complete washing machine. This is not for surfing; this is for kite surfing if you're mad enough. The whole first week is a brutal mix of strong cross-onshore and cross-shore winds, keeping the ocean lumpy, choppy, and totally blown out. The swell energy stays high, in the 1000s and 2000s, but it's all for nothing.

The second week doesn't offer much more. August 16th is the first tiny sign of hope, but it's a maybe. You get a tiny 3ft SW swell with a very long 16-second period, and the wind eases to a light cross-offshore, making it clean. But the energy is a weak 591, and the swell is tiny. It's a groveler's special at best.

Then, things get a bit more interesting from August 20th. A solid, long-period S swell starts to build, hitting 7ft on the afternoon of the 20th with combined energy rocketing up to 3139. The wind is still messy, though – cross-onshore and choppy. The real potential, the one standout in this whole forecast, is August 21st and 22nd. On the 21st, we've got a 7ft S swell, 15-second period, and the wind swings to the east, blowing cross-shore. The energy is a solid 3498. By the 22nd, it's a 6ft S swell. The wind is lighter, but it's starting to go cross-onshore again. For a reef break like Saaga, this long-period S groundswell is what you want, but those cross-shore winds are the enemy. August 21st is the call, but it's not a sure thing. The conditions are still marginal, borderline. Don't expect perfection.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a total loss. The second week offers a glimmer, with August 21st being the best bet, but it's still a gamble with the wind. Keep your eyes on it, because forecasts can change, but for now, it's a long wait for a couple of borderline sessions.

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.
