The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here with the lowdown on the surf for the next couple of weeks. There’s a solid run of swell coming, but you gotta be on your game. The water temp is about 76°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
First up, Monday the 13th of July. Saint-Leu is the spot. It’s pumping with a 8ft SSW groundswell, 14-second period, and the wind is dead flat – glassy. That’s a recipe for clean, heavy waves, but this is for experienced surfers only. The energy reading is a massive 2091, so there’s serious power. This is the one to watch early on.
Tuesday the 14th, the swell drops back to 6ft from the SSW in the morning. The wind is a light cross-shore, so it’s not perfect, but still a decent option for the advanced crew. The afternoon gets a bit bumpy.
Wednesday the 15th is another good one. Morning glass with a 6ft S swell, 12-second period. Clean and well-shaped, but again, advanced only.
We get a bit of a lull from Thursday the 16th to Friday the 17th. The swell gets small. Friday afternoon does see a 4ft S swell with a very long 17-second period, and the wind is clean off the beach, so it’s not all bad, but it’s a shadow of what’s coming.
Now, the real magic starts Monday the 20th of July. We’ve got a solid 8ft to 10ft SSW groundswell hitting. The wind is offshore and clean. The energy reading is enormous – 3093 to 3545. This is proper, powerful, expert-level surf. The sets will be long and full of energy. This is the next big standout.
This solid run of offshore wind and clean, powerful swell continues all the way through to the end of the month. Tuesday the 21st, Wednesday the 22nd, Thursday the 23rd – all holding 7ft to 8ft SSW swell with clean offshore winds. The energy stays high.
The weekend of the 25th and 26th of July keeps the same theme. Strong, clean SW groundswell with steady offshore winds. It’s a long run of excellent conditions for the experienced crew.
The final stretch, Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th, sees the swell start to ease but still holds a decent 5ft to 7ft. The wind stays offshore on the 27th, keeping it clean. The 28th has a big, long-period SW groundswell (20 seconds) but the wind turns cross-shore, making it a bit tricky.
So, if you’re an expert, clear your calendar for the 20th through the 26th. That’s the sweet spot.
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.
