Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming for Saint Leu in the good ol’ imperials.
The water’s sitting at 25° which is about average for the time of year – so a 3/2 wetsuit might be just fine, or boardies if you’re a warm-blooded soul. It’s a point break, so when we get that long period groundswell, it’s going to line up real nice.
The action starts Saturday the 4th. Saturday morning there’s a clean 1.7m (6ft) SSW swell with a 13-second period, glassy conditions, and combined energy of 1061 – that’s moderate but punchy. It’s a little big for beginners but experienced surfers will lap it up. Afternoon goes cross-off, still clean.
Sunday the 5th, we see the quality ramp up. Morning brings a 1.6m (5ft) SW groundswell at a long 16 seconds, with offshore wind. Energy is 1867. Beautiful. Afternoon swells to 2.5m (8ft), cross-off, with energy 2555. That’s expert territory, for sure.
Monday the 6th and Tuesday the 7th stay solid with 1.8m to 3.0m (6ft to 10ft) swells, all offshore or cross-off, clean and strong. The energy pushes up to 2756 on Tuesday afternoon. Big, clean and powerful.
Wednesday the 8th, morning has a 2.3m (8ft) SSE swell at 10 seconds, light offshore. Afternoon goes glassy with a 2.0m (7ft) swell. Real nice session.
Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th see a drop to 1.2m and 0.9m (4ft and 3ft) but with glassy conditions and long periods up to 17 seconds. Small but quality.
Now for the standout: Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th of July. Saturday begins with a 2.3m (8ft) SSW groundswell at 15 seconds, glassy, energy 2382. Afternoon is 2.5m (8ft). But Sunday the 12th is the one: 3.0m (10ft) SSW at 15 seconds, offshore wind, combined energy of 4097. That’s a serious, powerful swell. Experts only, but pure magic.
Monday the 13th through Tuesday the 14th keep up the quality – 2.5m to 1.5m (8ft to 5ft), offshore winds, strong energy.
From Wednesday the 15th through Thursday the 16th, the size drops to 1.2m and even 0.6m (4ft and 2ft) with weak energy down to 119. Glassy but small.
Then Friday the 17th of July roars back: a 1.8m (6ft) SSW groundswell at an incredible 18 seconds, glassy, energy 1997. That’s long, deep, and beautiful on the point. The afternoon stays glassy and 2.0m (7ft). Another huge highlight.
Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th finish strong with 2.0m to 1.6m (7ft to 5ft) swells and offshore winds.
The best? Sunday the 12th of July is the absolute standout – 3.0m, 15 seconds, offshore, extreme energy. And Friday the 17th runs a close second with that super long 18-second period and glassy conditions. Mark those days.
Get after it.
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.
