The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, talking about the next couple of weeks of surf. The main event is gonna be at Saint Leu, a classic point break that loves a southwest swell, and it’s gonna be the place to be.
The water is sitting at 77°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
It starts this Saturday, August 1st, with a clean 6ft swell from the SSW, period 15 seconds, and the wind is glassy. The combined energy is a strong 1589, so there’s plenty of power. This is excellent for experienced surfers, and it’s a consistent spot, so you’ll be catching waves. The offshore wind is from the SSE, which is perfect for this break. Expect a few others out, but it’s worth it.
The afternoon stays glassy. Sunday morning, August 2nd, is similar—6ft, 15 seconds, glassy, and clean. The energy is still high at 1326. Sunday afternoon the wind turns onshore a bit, but the morning sessions are golden.
Monday morning, August 3rd, brings a slightly smaller 4ft swell from the SW, but the period is still 14 seconds, and it’s glassy again. The energy is moderate at 1188. This is a great option for a cleaner, more manageable wave.
After a few smaller days mid-week, the real standout arrives on the weekend of August 8th and 9th. Saturday morning, August 8th, the swell drops to 3ft, but the period jumps to 18 seconds—that’s a very long period groundswell. The energy is moderate at 589, but the quality will be there. The wind is offshore from the SE, making it clean. This is a very good session.
Sunday, August 9th, is the pick of the bunch. We’ve got a 6ft swell from the SW, 16-second period, and a gentle offshore wind from the SE. The combined energy is a strong 1727. This is excellent for experienced surfers, and the conditions are going to be near-perfect. If you can only get one day, this is it.
The run continues into the following week. Monday, August 10th, keeps 5ft with a 14-second period and clean offshore winds. Tuesday, August 11th, is another cracker—5ft, 17-second period, glassy or light offshore. The energy is 1652. These are all excellent sessions.
Later in the week, it drops off a bit, but then we get another pulse around Saturday, August 15th. That morning brings 4ft with an 18-second period, glassy, and the energy is a massive 2296. That’s a very strong, long-period groundswell. The afternoon switches to offshore and 5ft. This is another prime window.
The last day of the outlook, Sunday, August 16th, still has a solid 6ft from the SSW with glassy conditions in the morning, and the energy is 1586. This is a great way to finish the run.
So, overall, the surf is on. The best of the best is Sunday, August 9th, and Saturday, August 15th, for the biggest, cleanest groundswell. Get out there.
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.
