The Lowdown

Right folks, I’m Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for the region here. Honest truth? It’s a rough run for the next couple of weeks. The wind is just relentless, sticking mostly from the east-southeast, and that’s going to keep things messy.

Let’s start with Saaga, a reef break that needs a clean southeast swell to really fire. It’s a consistent spot, but it’s an advanced wave most of the time.

Coming in from Sunday the 30th of August, we’ve got a solid 7ft swell from the ESE, but the wind is screaming out of the east at 22 mph, creating a lumpy cross-chop. The energy is pretty strong (1364), but the onshore wind is just destroying any chance of a clean face. It’s a write-off.

Monday the 31st is more of the same: 6ft to 6ft, still cross-onshore at 19 mph, and the wave energy is moderate (1000-1029). The wind is just too much.

We roll into the first week of September, and the wind doesn’t let up. From Tuesday the 1st through to Thursday the 3rd, it’s a constant fresh breeze from the ESE, with the swell hanging around 6ft to 6ft. The energy is starting to drop (810-956), but the wind keeps it in the “poor surf conditions” bin. On the 3rd, the swell direction swings to the southwest with a nice long 15-second period, but the wind is a strong breeze (25 mph) – it’s a total mess.

Friday the 4th sees the energy climb back up to 1556 with a 6ft ESE swell, but the period drops to a short 8 seconds, and the wind is still cross-shore and lumpy. It’s a marginal, frustrating day.

The one standout in the whole window – and it’s a long way off – is Monday the 14th of September. That’s the day to circle on the calendar. We get a moderate offshore breeze from the north-northeast at 16 mph, which will finally clean up the face. The swell is 4ft from the southwest with a 15-second period, and the energy is solid (1206). It’s a groundswell, so it’ll be a little straight at some beach breaks, but at a reef like Saaga, this should produce some nice, lined-up waves. The water is going to be about average for the time of year. It’s the only day in the whole 16 days that looks genuinely surfable.

Before that, on Sunday the 13th of September, there’s a brief moment late in the afternoon where the wind goes cross-off from the ENE, cleaning up a 6ft ESE swell, but the period is a short 8 seconds. It’s marginal, but it’s the only other chance for a surf.

The 14th is the one. It’s the only time the wind and swell align for a proper session. Everything else is a battle against the wind. If you’ve got a kite, the first ten days of the window are going to be more interesting for you than for a surfer.

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.
