The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down the Saint Leu stretch in proper units. It’s a slow start, but this forecast has some stoke hidden in it.
The first few days are small and ordinary. Wednesday the 2nd gives us 1ft to 2ft SW swells, with a decent 14-16 second period, glassy in the morning, clean in the afternoon. You could paddle out on a longboard, but it’s pretty quiet.
Thursday the 3rd is similar – 2ft SW, morning glass, then cross-shore. Not much happening. Friday the 4th starts marginal, but Friday afternoon is when the energy turns on: 5ft SSW groundswell with glassy conditions and strong wave energy (1320). That’s where the fun starts for experienced surfers. Water temp is 77°F, a touch warmer than normal for September.
Saturday the 5th keeps the good run going with a 6ft SW swell in the morning, glassy, and strong energy. Sunday the 6th is still very good with 4ft SW, clean. By Monday the 7th, we’re looking at 7ft SSW in the morning, clean, but Monday afternoon hits 10ft with 12 mph cross-off wind – that’s big and heavy, experts only.
The real standout is Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th. Tuesday morning: 12ft S swell, 15 seconds, 15 mph offshore wind, and exceptional conditions for experts. Wave energy over 6300. Wednesday morning the 9th is even bigger: 13ft SSW groundswell, 17-second period, light offshore wind, glassy, and energy over 9000. That’s the best of the run – huge, clean, and lined up perfectly on the point. Only for the experienced crew.
Thursday the 10th and Friday the 11th are still excellent with 3ft to 5ft SW swells and clean conditions. Then it goes quiet over the weekend into Monday the 14th – marginal, not worth the paddle.
But keep an eye on Tuesday the 15th: 8ft S groundswell with offshore wind, good for experienced surfers. And Wednesday the 16th is another massive standout: 10ft SSW groundswell, glassy, with huge energy (over 5500). That’s in the second week, so it’s promising but not locked in.
Crowds at Saint Leu are likely when the surf’s this good – it’s a popular spot. But with waves this clean and powerful, you’ll be stoked to share the lineup.
Rusty, out.

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.
