The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
The pattern is setting up beautifully. We’ve got a solid run of surf coming, starting with some proper groundswell and staying active for days. The real standout is clear from the get-go: Saint Leu is the place to be.
Monday morning (14th September) kicks things off with a clean 6ft SSW groundswell, 14-second period. The southeast wind is blowing offshore, keeping the faces clean and rippable. This is serious wave energy too, with a strong reading (1115). The water’s sitting at 75°, pretty much normal for this time of year. This is the kind of session you wait for. Monday afternoon holds up, though the wind picks up a notch – still offshore, still surfable.
Tuesday (15th September) is an absolute barnstormer. The morning’s a bit tricky with a fresh offshore, but the afternoon... wow. 6ft SSW swell at a long 17-second period, combined energy through the roof at 4710. This is powerful, clean surf for experienced surfers. This is the top pick of the whole forecast. Wednesday (16th September) keeps the power on, with 10ft of S swell and a 15-second period – that’s expert territory with a massive energy reading (4340). Still clean with light offshore winds.
Thursday morning (17th September) is a beauty – glassy conditions with a 7ft S swell (1305 energy). The wind goes completely calm for a bit, absolute perfection. Friday (18th September) eases off a little, but remains glassy in the morning with a 4ft S swell. The weekend stays fun with smaller, clean options, dropping to around 3ft to 5ft SW swell with offshore breezes.
Now, from Monday the 21st through to Thursday the 24th, things get a bit messy. We see some onshore and cross-shore winds, and the quality drops off. A few sessions are still okay, but nothing to get excited about. The swell sticks around, but the wind just isn’t cooperating.
But then, Friday the 25th and Saturday the 26th come back strong. Friday afternoon offers a clean 6ft SW swell with a nice SSE offshore (2117 energy). Saturday is the big one for that weekend: glassy conditions, calm as can be, with a 8ft SSW swell in the morning, easing to 8ft in the afternoon. Combined energy over 2000. That’s expert-level power but absolutely pristine conditions. This is your second standout window – mark it.
Sunday the 27th is still good, with a glassy afternoon and a 6ft SSW swell, and then Monday the 28th and Tuesday the 29th taper off into smaller, glassy surf in the 4ft to 5ft range. A nice way to wind down the run.
So overall, don't waste time. The best windows are Tuesday 15th afternoon and Friday 25th to Saturday 26th. Saint Leu is exposed to the optimum WSW direction, and this swell is coming from the sweet spot. It’s a consistent point break that works best for those who know what they’re doing – heaps of energy and long period swells like this are perfect for a setup like that.
Stay safe, pick your moments, and enjoy the ride.
Rusty.

Information about the Saint Leu Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Saint Leu provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Saint Leu can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Saint Leu 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 (Saint Leu) 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 Saint Leu 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.
