The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. We've got a solid window of surf on the horizon, but we're gonna have to earn it and pick our moment. The first week is essentially a write-off for quality, with a lot of wind and messy conditions.
We start off with some serious size on Saturday, the 8th, with a 12ft SSE swell, but it's blown out with a near-gale cross-onshore wind. It's all power and no finesse. The winds stay strong and cross through the first week, chopping up whatever is out there. There's a massive pulse of energy on the 10th with a long-period S swell (16 seconds), but that energy is trapped under near-gale cross-shore winds, making it a total mess. It’s not surfable.
The conditions stay pretty locked in this pattern all the way through the 16th and 17th. We do see the winds start to ease a little on Monday the 17th afternoon with a cleaner, cross-off breeze as that S swell drops to 4ft. It’s marginal, but it's a glimmer of something better.
Now, here's the standout. Tuesday the 18th is your window. The wind goes light and cross-off in the afternoon, the kind of clean that makes you want to call in sick. We get a long-period SW groundswell at 4ft with a period of 21 seconds and the combined energy is strong at 2071. This is a serious groundswell. Saaga (Upolu) is a reef break, and that long period stuff is going to be holding up nicely on the reef, providing some real shape and power. This is the pick of the whole window, no doubt. Water temp is sitting at 81°, which is about average for this time of year.
Wednesday the 19th still has some of that SW swell, around 5-5ft, and it should still be reasonably clean, but it looks like the wind might start to turn a bit more onshore. So Tuesday is your day.
After that, we’re back into a couple of weeks of the same old story: the swell drops, the cross-shore winds pick back up from the ESE, and we’re looking at sub-3ft dribble. The forecast for the 20th and beyond just fades into nothing. A long gap with no real reason to get wet.
So, there you have it. Don’t waste your energy this week. Wait it out, be patient, and hit Saaga on Tuesday afternoon. It’s going to be worth it.
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.
