Alright, mate. Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Saint-Leu.

We’ve got a solid run ahead. The first real surf shows up on Thursday afternoon with a solid 6 ft SW groundswell, period pushing 15 seconds. The water’s sitting at 77°, which is about normal for the time of year. The wind is a light 6 mph S cross-offshore. It’s going to be clean and powerful, but this is an advanced break, and you’ll be sharing it with a crew – expect it to be busy. Still, it’s an excellent start.

Friday morning is a bit of a write-off with an unknown tide situation, but Friday afternoon cleans right up. Glassy conditions, 4 ft SSW swell, and a 13-second period. It’s smaller but silky smooth, and with only a 3 mph breeze, it’ll be a pleasure to paddle out.

Saturday looks like the first real standout. Glassy, calm conditions with a 6 ft SSW swell and 13-second period. This is the pick of the first few days. The energy is moderate (1061), and the conditions are textbook.

Sunday sees a serious pulse of energy, with the combined energy jumping to 2740. A 8 ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period. This is a long-period groundswell, and at a point break, it’ll peel beautifully. The wind stays cross-offshore, so expect excellent, powerful walls. By afternoon, the swell bumps up to 10 ft – that’s expert territory only.

Monday and Tuesday keep the energy high, with fresh offshore winds from the SE, blowing 15-18 mph. You’ll see 7 ft to 8 ft SSW swells, but the period drops a bit to 11-12 seconds. These are still very clean waves, but the strong wind will keep the crowds thinner. Seasoned surfers will be in their element.

Then, we hit the big dog. Saturday, 11 July, the afternoon session is going to be insane. A 10 ft SSW swell, 16-second period, light offshore breeze, and the combined energy hits 3990. This is a powerful, long-period groundswell hitting a point break. That’s the sort of day you call in sick for. Sunday, 12 July, doesn’t let up – a 10 ft SW swell, 14-second period, and the afternoon energy is off the charts at 5044. This is exceptional surf, but only for experts.

The entire second week, from 12 July through to the 15th, is a non-stop parade of 10 ft SSW swell, long periods, and clean offshore winds or glassy conditions. The consistency is unreal. Thursday 16th sees rain showers but still a decent 6 ft SSW swell with an offshore breeze.

The true standouts are Saturday 04 July morning for the perfect smaller conditions, and Saturday 11 July afternoon for the big, clean, powerful groundswell. That’s as good as it gets.

The last few days from 16 July onwards, the swell backs off to a smaller 3 ft to 4 ft with still crisp offshore winds. A nice way to wind down.

Signing off,
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.
