The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for us.
We’ve got a solid run of surf on the cards, starting off a little slow but building into some proper moments. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 76°, so that’s a nice little bonus.
The first real action is on Friday, the 24th of July. The morning is a bit messy with a 7ft S swell, but a light NNW breeze is on it, so it’s not great. The afternoon is where it’s at: glassy conditions, a clean 4ft SW swell with a 14-second period, and the combined energy is moderate (1191). This is a sweet window for the experienced surfer at Saint Leu.
Saturday morning, the 25th, is also very clean. Glassy, with a 4ft SSW swell, 13-second period, and easterly light air. The energy is still moderate (805). This is a lovely, clean option.
But the real standout is Monday, the 27th of July. This is the one to circle on the calendar. Both morning and afternoon are clean with offshore winds from the SE. The morning sees a 10ft SW groundswell with a 16-second period, and the energy is strong (3792). The afternoon is a very similar 8ft SW swell (3499). This is powerful, clean, and for experienced surfers only – it’s too big for beginners. The long period from the SW is exactly what this point break loves. Expect it to be absolutely firing.
Tuesday, the 28th, has a glassy afternoon with an 8ft SSW swell, 16-second period, and strong energy (3352). Another excellent session for those who know what they’re doing.
The following week has more good surf, though not as huge. The morning of the 3rd of August offers a clean 7ft SW swell, 17-second period, with a cross-offshore breeze and strong energy (2570). That’s a fine session. And the morning of the 5th of August is glassy with a 5ft SSW swell, 18-second period, and moderate energy (1748) – very clean and lined up.
The very end of the forecast, around the 8th of August, drops off into smaller, cleaner 4ft SW swells, but the energy is weak (485). Still a fun wave for a longboard or a foamie, but nothing to get too excited about.
Overall, the best on offer is the 27th of July. The Monday morning session is the standout. Big, powerful, clean, and offshore. That’s the one.
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.
