The Lowdown

Alright mate, let’s talk about the Saint-Leu stretch over the next couple weeks. It’s a proper point break, and the good news is it’s built for advanced surfers when the south-west groundswell shows up.

We get a slow start. Saturday the 25th of July is a write-off: the swell is 4.6ft from the SSW but the wind is 20 km/h out of the NNW, blowing straight cross-onshore, and the line-up is choppy as hell. Combined energy is moderate at 744 – no thanks.

Sunday the 26th is only slightly better. Sunday morning has a 2.9ft SW swell with a 20-second period but the wind is onshore. The afternoon is 4.3ft SSW at 19 seconds and the wind is light cross-on, with the combined energy rising to 1540. It’s marginal but not clean enough to get excited about.

Monday the 27th brings a serious pulse: we’re talking 11.5ft SW at 16 seconds in the morning. The combined energy rockets to 5254 – that’s strong stuff. But the wind is light onshore, so it’s big and messy. The afternoon drops to 9.8ft with the same 16-second period, and energy sits at 4433. The wind shifts cross-on. It’s big, it’s powerful, but it’s not clean. This is advanced-only territory.

Now, Tuesday the 28th of July is the absolute standout – do not miss it. The morning session is glassy with a 5.2ft SSW groundswell at an incredible 18-second period. Combined energy is 3316. There’s zero wind – it’s dead calm. The afternoon is even better: 7.9ft SSW at 17 seconds, still glassy, and the energy punches up to 3549. The wave comment says excellent for experienced surfers, and it’s a 5 out of 10 internally. Glassy, long-period point waves. This is the day.

Wednesday the 29th stays glassy. The morning is 7.5ft SW at 14 seconds, calm wind, energy at 2060. The afternoon is 6.9ft SSW at 14 seconds with a light WNW breeze, still glassy. Energy sits at 1538. Another top-quality day, but Tuesday was better.

Thursday the 30th morning is 3.9ft SW at 17 seconds, glassy, and energy at 1494. The afternoon is 6.6ft SSW at 16 seconds, glassy again, energy 1953. Consistent excellence.

Friday the 31st is clean and offshore in the morning: 5.9ft SW at 15 seconds with an SSE wind at 5 mph, energy 1377. The afternoon goes glassy with 5.6ft SW at 15 seconds, energy 1271. Both sessions are excellent.

Saturday the 1st of August begins glassy with 5.6ft SSW at 14 seconds, energy 1124, then turns rainy with a 5.2ft SW cross-on breeze in the afternoon. Still decent but not as clean.

Sunday the 2nd sees a return to clean offshore winds (SSE at 6-12 mph) and 5.6-5.9ft SSW/SW swell at 16 seconds. A solid day.

Monday the 3rd stays clean with offshore SE winds (9-15 mph) and 7.2-7.9ft SSW/SW at 13-14 seconds. Energy is strong at 1697-1939.

From Tuesday the 4th onward, the swell starts to fade. Tuesday morning is 3.9ft SSW at 12 seconds with moderate offshore winds, energy 641. By Thursday the 6th, we’re at 4.6ft SSW with 15-second period and 827 energy. It’s still surfable but smaller.

Friday the 7th is down to 3.3ft SW at 13 seconds and 362 energy – easy small-wave conditions. Saturday the 8th bottoms out at 1.6ft SW at 16 seconds, glassy, but only 243 energy. Tiny.

Sunday the 9th onward is not worth the drive: just 1.9-2.0ft SW swells with light onshore or cross-off winds, energy below 210. Minimal.

Water temp is 24.8°, about 1.6° warmer than average – that’s a nice little

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.
