Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at the Reunion outlook for you.

We’ve got a nice little run of swell building through the next week or so, all focused on one spot: Saint-Leu. This is a classic point break, and it’s set up for some real quality moments. The water temp is sitting around 76°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The first real action kicks off Wednesday afternoon, July 8th. It’s a bit of a slow start with a 7ft SSE swell, but the wind is offshore from the SE and the energy is moderate (971). It’s going to be clean, but not the main event.

Thursday morning, July 9th, is where it gets interesting. The swell drops to 5ft, but the wind goes glassy from the WSW, and that’s right off the land. The break is going to look like a mirror. The swell energy is still moderate (502), but the conditions are near perfect. This is a standout morning for an advanced surfer who wants to get some long, clean lines.

The real highlight, though, is Saturday, July 11th. The morning starts with a 6ft SW groundswell with a 15-second period – that’s proper long-period energy, and at a point like Saint-Leu, that’s a dream. The wind is glassy from the WNW. The energy is strong (1415). The afternoon only gets better, jumping to 7ft from the SSW, still glassy, with very strong energy (1717). This is the best day of the whole run. The swell is solid, so this is for experienced surfers only. Crowds are possible here, and on a day like this, it’ll be worth getting out early.

Sunday, July 12th, pushes into bigger territory. The swell hits 10ft from the SW with a 15-second period and a strong offshore SSE wind. The energy is very strong (3281). This is big, powerful, and only for the best. It’s a proper adrenaline session.

Things settle down through the next week, but there are still solid windows. Tuesday, July 14th, has a 6ft SSW swell with a clean offshore SE wind, and energy is moderate (1003). That’s a good, solid day.

The run starts to fade a bit after the 15th, with smaller swells and some onshore winds creeping in. By the 16th, it’s small and junk. A new pulse of long-period S swell arrives on Friday, July 17th, with a 3ft wave at 19 seconds. That’s an incredibly long period, which will probably make the wave bend and wall up nicely at the point, but it’ll be a bit fickle with the sets. The wind is calm, making it glassy. Energy is moderate (1368).

From the 18th onward, it gets marginal. Small swells and more wind. The 20th and 21st have some fresh offshore breezes, but the swell is too small to get excited about.

Overall, the standout is Saturday, July 11th. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. Glassy, solid groundswell, and the point will be pumping. The mid-week before that, the 9th, is also a gem for clean, smaller waves. After that, it’s a waiting game for the next proper pulse.

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.
