The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into this one. It’s a bit of a strange run for Saaga, a reef setup that usually has some punch. We’re looking at a 16-day window, but honestly, for the first week and a half, it’s pretty grim. The wind is going to be a real pain, and the swell is messy. There’s a big gap from the start until the second week before we see anything worth getting excited about.

We kick off on Saturday the 5th of September, and straight away it’s a battle. Swell is coming in at 6 ft from the S, with a long period of 16 seconds, which is good for power, but the wind is howling out of the ESE at 16 mph. That cross-shore breeze is just chopping everything up. The water is a balmy 81°, which is pretty much dead average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The combined energy is pumping at 2194, but it’s all wasted on those messy conditions. Sunday and Monday just get smaller and rougher, with the wind staying strong. It’s not worth paddling out.

The whole first week is a write-off. The wind is relentless, the swell is either too small or too messy, and the forecast keeps saying “poor surf conditions.” You’ll be sitting on the beach watching the chop, not riding it. The energy drops off a cliff, too, with readings falling to around 382 to 660 on the 10th and 12th. It’s a long, dry spell.

Then, around the 13th of September, we see a glimmer. The swell starts to build again, and the wind direction swings around to the ENE. That’s the key. Monday the 14th is the first real standout. Swell jumps to 7 ft from the SW, with a period of 18 seconds, giving us a big, powerful groundswell. The wind is a clean cross-offshore at 19 mph, and the combined energy is a massive 2798. This is a big, solid reef wave. It’s going to be heavy, with long gaps between sets, so it’s one for the experienced crew only. It’s a proper paddle out, but the shape should be there. This is the best on offer by a long shot.

Tuesday the 15th is a close second. Swell drops a touch to 6 ft, but the wind stays light and clean at 12 mph, and the energy is still strong at 1853. It’s going to be a bit more forgiving than Monday, but still a ripper. The cross-off wind means the faces will be smooth.

The rest of the second week holds up okay. Thursday the 17th looks good with a clean offshore wind from the NNE at 16 mph, and a 4 ft SW swell. The energy is moderate at 1087, but with that offshore wind, it’ll be glassy. It’s a much more manageable size for a good session.

The very end of the window, the 20th of September, throws a curveball. The swell drops to 2 ft, but the period is a pathetic 7 seconds, and the wind is light. It’s not going to have any punch. The other reading on that day is a 5 ft from the ESE with a 7-second period, giving a weak 601 of energy. Not really worth the effort.

So, to wrap it up: the first week is a complete no-go. The best days are the 14th and 15th of September for the big, clean, powerful groundswell. The 17th is a great alternative if you want something a bit smaller and glassy. The rest is just filler.

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.
