The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’m breaking down the surf for the next couple of weeks. It’s all about Saint Leu, a point break that loves south-west swell. The water is sitting at 77°F right now, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but things really get going on the morning of Wednesday, July 29th. The swell is 7ft, from the SSW, with a long 14-second period. The combined energy is strong, at 1906, so there’s plenty of power. The wind is light WNW, a bit onshore, but not bad. The real standout is Wednesday afternoon, when the wind turns glassy from the SSE, and the swell is a solid 7ft. That’s clean, lined-up, proper point break surf. This is the best session of the whole run – glassy, a solid groundswell, and a point break that’s made for it. At 7ft, this is for advanced surfers only.
Thursday the 30th keeps it going. The morning has 5ft, but the wind is light NW, a bit onshore. The afternoon is the one: 6ft, still SSW, with a very long 16-second period, and glassy again. That’s a dream on a point. Friday the 31st stays solid: 6ft, long period, and glassy all day, with the wind dropping to zero in the afternoon. Saturday the 1st of August morning is still glassy with 7ft, but the afternoon gets a clean cross-off breeze from the south.
After the first weekend, the surf starts to shrink. Sunday the 2nd drops to 5ft in the morning, and by Monday the 3rd, we’re down to 4ft, and the energy is fading to 936. The wind stays okay, but the size is going. From Tuesday the 4th, it’s small – under 3ft for most of the second week, with the occasional bump to 4ft. The wind stays clean, often offshore or glassy, but the waves are small. The best of the second week is probably Saturday the 8th of August, with a 3ft swell and a super long 18-second period, and glassy conditions. That’s tiny but will be a rippable little wave. Then Sunday the 9th has 5ft and glassy in the morning, which is another nice little window.
There’s a gap of a few days of small, marginal surf around the 4th and 5th, but it’s not a total loss. The takeaway: the first few days are the best, with Wednesday the 29th afternoon being the absolute highlight. After that, pick the smaller, cleaner windows.
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.
