The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the lowdown on Saint Leu. Water’s sitting about average for this time of year, nothing crazy. This point break can fire, and we’ve got a solid run coming up.
It starts small this Saturday morning (September 5th) with a 6ft SW swell and a light offshore breeze. Then Saturday afternoon goes flat calm, glassy, with a clean 5ft SW swell. A nice way to ease into it. The real juice starts next week.
Monday morning (September 7th) we get a 8ft SSW groundswell (15-second period) with a clean cross-offshore breeze. The energy is pumping, and this is excellent for experienced surfers. It’s pointing the right way for the point.
Now, Tuesday afternoon (September 8th) is a different story. The swell goes nuclear to 16ft from the S, with a stiff offshore SE wind. The energy is off the charts. That’s way too big for this spot. Experts only, and even then, it’s a beast.
The clear winner is Wednesday (September 9th) . Both the morning and afternoon serve up 13ft to 15ft SSW groundswell (17-second period) with clean offshore winds. The energy is extreme. The long period means power and shape on the point. If you’re an expert, this is the day you’ve been waiting for.
Thursday (September 10th) stays clean with 7ft to 8ft SW swell, and Friday (September 11th) turns glassy again with a 5ft SSE groundswell. Both are excellent.
Into the second week, the quality holds but the size drops. Saturday (September 12th) afternoon goes glassy with 5ft S swell. Sunday (September 13th) morning is clean with a 5ft SSW groundswell (18-second period, super long lines). The afternoon gets windblown, so hit the dawn patrol.
Monday (September 14th) is clean all day with 5ft to 6ft SSW swell. Tuesday (September 15th) morning is glassy with an 8ft SSE swell, but the period is shorter. The afternoon gets choppy.
Wednesday (September 16th) morning is clean with 6ft SSW groundswell. After that, it fades into smaller, clean waves in the 3ft to 3ft range through the weekend (September 19th-20th). Still fun, but not the big stuff.
So, to sum it up: Monday (Sept 7th) through Friday (Sept 11th) is your window, and Wednesday the 9th is the big one for the experts.
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.
