The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, and I gotta be straight with you – the outlook for Saaga (reef) is a long, frustrating wait, but there’s a flicker of light at the very end.

We’ve got a solid 16-day window here, but it’s a real test of patience. From Saturday, August 8th, right through the following week, it’s a write-off. The wind is relentless, hammering from the SE and ESE, mostly cross or cross-onshore, often hitting 19 to 31 mph, with a near gale on the first day. That’s blowing the life out of a decent sized swell that’s actually in the water. You’ll see 8 to 10 ft of swell from the S and ESE, but the combined energy is huge (2555 to 4626) – it’s just a messy, blown-out lump. Not worth a look. There’s a very long period, 16-second groundswell hitting on Monday, August 10th, but with that strong cross-shore wind, it’s just creating a dangerous cross-chop. This is kite-surfing weather, not paddle surfing.

We slog through a whole week of this. The wind eases slightly into the second week, but it’s still cross-shore. The swell drops back to 3 to 5 ft, and the energy drops too (down to 563-956). It’s still lumpy and messy. Honestly, from August 8th right through to August 19th, the surf quality is just poor. There’s a gap of about 12 days where I wouldn’t bother paddling out.

Now, finally, we get a bit of hope. Mark your calendar for Thursday, August 20th. The wind finally swings around to the NE, light and cross-offshore. For the afternoon session, we’re looking at a clean 4 ft swell from the S, with a super long period of 15 seconds. The combined energy still has some punch (1565). This is excellent for experienced surfers. That long period will make it a bit tricky – it’ll be walling up and might be a bit too fast and straight for the beach breaks, but on a reef setup like Saaga, it should be really good. The water temp is about average for this time of year.

The good news carries into Friday, August 21st, with clean 4 ft swell from the S again, though the wind is a bit stronger. The crowd factor at Saaga is listed as "sometimes," so you might have a few others out there, but with that clean, offshore wind, it’ll be worth it.

After that, the weekend of August 22nd and 23rd looks a bit more marginal again as the wind turns back onshore. So, the real standout is that Thursday afternoon session on August 20th. It’s a long way off, but it’s the only window in this whole stretch that’s got the clean conditions and the swell to make it genuinely good.

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.
