Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Saint-Leu over the next couple of weeks.
Alright, we’ve got a solid run ahead for Saint-Leu. Starting off Monday the 6th of July, it’s not the cleanest start. We’ve got a 7ft SW swell with a 13-second period, but the wind is a cross-off from the SSE at 15 mph. It’s a bit on the messy side, and the combined swell energy is pumping at 1798, so there’s plenty of power, but the quality isn’t quite there for a standout. Water temp is sitting at 77°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a nice bonus.
The real action starts picking up Wednesday the 8th. Tuesday the 7th sees some good size – 10ft in the afternoon from the S at 12 seconds – but the wind is a fresh 19 mph offshore from the SE, so it’s clean but beefy. That’s more of a big-wave day. But Wednesday morning, the 8th, is where it comes together: 7ft from the SSE, an 11-second period, with a gentle 9 mph offshore breeze from the SE. The combined energy is still a solid 1125, and the report says excellent conditions for experienced surfers. This is the first true standout. The swell direction (SSE) isn’t bang on the optimum WSW for the point, but the quality of the offshore wind and the consistency of the sets will make it a cracker for those who can handle it.
Then we slide into a glorious stretch from Thursday the 9th through to the weekend. Thursday morning the 9th is glassy with a 5ft SSE swell, and Friday the 10th is absolutely perfect – glassy, calm winds, with a long-period 4ft SW swell at 15 seconds in the morning, and 3ft SSW at 16 seconds in the afternoon. That’s a groundswell, and it’ll be super clean and make paddling out easy. This is your other standout: light crowds (just sometimes), and you’ll be trading off some size for perfect shape.
Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th keep the quality high. Saturday has 5-6ft SW swells with glassy or light offshore winds, excellent for experienced surfers. Sunday the 12th pumps up to 8ft from the SW with glassy conditions in the morning, though the afternoon gets a bit of a cross-shore wind, so get out early.
The following week is a mixed bag. Monday the 13th is decent but not as clean, and a storm risk on Tuesday the 14th afternoon might mess with things. There’s another pulse of energy towards the end of the window. Sunday the 19th of July sees a big 12ft SSW swell with a 16-second period, but the wind is onshore from the NW at 6 mph – that’s big and messy, probably better left to the experts or the kite crew. The combined energy on that afternoon is a massive 5540. The following Monday and Tuesday the 20th and 21st look much better with a 8-8ft SSW swell and clean offshore winds from the SE. That could be a solid finish if you’re patient.
Overall, the best bets are Wednesday the 8th morning for the clean, punchy size, and the glassy, long-period days of Friday the 10th and Saturday the 11th for pure, crafted waves.

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.
