The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a solid 16-day run ahead for Saint-Leu. This point break has a consistent pulse of SSW-to-SW groundswell coming through, and the water’s sitting at a normal 75.6°F for this time of year. The first couple of days are a bit small, but things really start to build late in the first week and then it’s game on.
Wednesday 15th afternoon – glassy conditions with a 3.6ft SSW swell at 12 seconds. Combined energy is moderate (328). Clean but small; a nice warm-up if you’re after a longboard in the glass. No complaints.
Thursday 16th – wind flips northerly and messes things up. Tiny chop, only 2.0ft – stay home.
Friday 17th – morning looks rain and onshore, but the afternoon cleans up nicely. A 4.3ft S swell at 16 seconds (long period), light cross-off breeze – energy jumps to 818 (moderate). Very good conditions, though still on the smaller side.
Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th – consistent clean surf in the 3.0–3.6ft range with light cross-off winds. Good quality but not the standout. Sunday’s SW swell has a nice 16-second period.
Monday 20th – BAM. Glassy morning, 6.6ft SSW at 14 seconds. Energy hits 1584 (moderate-strong). This is excellent for experienced surfers – the point will handle that period beautifully. Afternoon stays clean with a cross-off breeze and 7.2ft. That’s your first real standout, but it’s pushing 8.2ft so beginners should sit it out.
Tuesday 21st – still solid, 5.9–4.9ft with light offshore winds. Very good but the peak is yet to come.
Wednesday 22nd – morning 4.9ft, afternoon jumps to 8.2ft SSW at 14 seconds with gentle offshore wind. Energy 2323 (strong). Another excellent session for advanced crew.
Thursday 23rd – glassy morning, 6.6ft, then afternoon glass again with 5.6ft. Sweet but not the biggest.
Friday 24th – this is the one. Morning glassy, 8.2ft SSW at 16 seconds, energy 3370 (strong). Afternoon light offshore, same 8.2ft and 16 seconds, energy 3418. Expert-only territory. The point will be firing with long, powerful lines.

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.
