The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again, but this time in the old units for you.

We’ve got a solid run of quality surf kicking off on Friday morning, August 7th. The swell is a playful 3ft from the SW with a 12-second period, giving it some nice push. The wind is glassy from the east at just 3 mph, so the surface will be like a mirror. The water is sitting at 77°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate (326). This is a top-tier point break, and with those conditions, it’s going to be a beautiful morning session. Just be aware that crowds are sometimes a factor here.

The action picks up nicely through Saturday the 8th. The morning brings a 4ft SW swell with a 17-second period, making it a proper groundswell. The wind is offshore from the SE at 3 mph, and the energy is strong (1066). This is a standout day for experienced surfers, as the long period will make the waves push through with a lot of power. Because it’s a point break, that long period will work perfectly, giving you clean, lined-up walls.

Sunday the 9th is another beauty. The morning is glassy again with a 4ft SW swell and a 15-second period. The energy is still solid (776). The wind is almost nothing, so it’s going to be silky smooth.

The standout of the whole run, no question, is Monday afternoon the 10th. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the SW with a 16-second period, and the energy is very strong (1125). The wind goes glassy from the SSW. That’s expert territory again, but the conditions are as close to perfect as you’ll get. The sets will be clean, powerful, and well-spaced.

Tuesday the 11th morning is glassy and calm, with the same 4ft SW swell, but the afternoon turns a bit cross-onshore, so the morning is your window.

The week after, things get interesting. Thursday the 13th is a big day. The morning swell is 6ft from the SW, glassy, with a 13-second period. The energy is strong (1037). That afternoon, the swell hits 7ft with a 12-second period, and the energy jumps to 1177. The wind is glassy. This is another top-tier session, but it’s best for those with experience.

Friday the 14th, the swell gets bigger at 7ft, but the wind swings onshore from the WNW. The quality drops, and the energy is very high (1732), but with the wind ruining it, it’s a bit of a mess. Still, if you’re a strong paddler, there’ll be some big lumps.

The biggest energy of the entire forecast hits on Saturday the 15th. The afternoon sees an 8ft SSW swell with an 18-second period, and the energy is massive (4967). But the wind is onshore from the NW. This is a beast of a swell, but it’s not going to be clean. It’s more a spectacle for the experienced or those looking for a tow-in.

Sunday the 16th is the real prize for the second week. The morning brings an 8ft SSW swell with a 16-second period, and the wind is offshore from the SE at 6 mph. The energy is extreme (3549). The afternoon is glassy from the east. This is a big, powerful swell, and with offshore wind, it’s going to be pumping. The waves will be huge and hollow, but only for the experts. The point break will handle the long period well, giving you deep, fast barrels.

The run fades out into the next week. Monday the 17th morning is still good with a 5ft SW swell and clean conditions, but the afternoons get a bit wind-affected. The last week of the forecast has smaller, shorter-period swell from the SSE, with some clean mornings on the 22nd of August, but it’s not the same power.

Overall, the best bets are Saturday the 8th morning, and Monday the 10th afternoon for the first week, and then Sunday the 16th for the second week. That Sunday is a big, powerful, offshore day that you won’t want to miss if you’ve got the skill.

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.
