The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s brewing at Saint Leu. This point break can fire, but the first few days are a total dud. Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd are flat and messy – not worth getting wet. By Thursday the 3rd, we’ve got a small pulse of 2ft SW groundswell with a 13-second period, clean in the morning with light cross-off. Combined energy is still modest (178). The water is 77°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year – nice but not a game changer.
Friday the 4th brings a jump: the afternoon sees 5ft from the SSW, a super-long 17-second period, and combined energy hits 1336 – solid energy. But with light cross-onshore wind and questionable tide, it’s not firing clean yet.
Saturday the 5th morning is your first real standout. We’ve got 6ft of SW swell, 14-second period, and glassy conditions – dead calm. Combined energy is 1187. This is excellent for experienced surfers. The wind’s off, the wave face will be clean. Get in early. The afternoon gets a bit rougher with cross-onshore.
Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th hold size – up to 6ft on Monday arvo – but the wind’s on it, so quality drops.
Then, the big one. Tuesday the 8th afternoon: 16ft from the SSW, 14-second period, with offshore winds at 22 mph. Combined energy is 12809 – very strong. This is experts only. Wednesday the 9th morning is forecast too big for the break – 15ft, very long 16-second period, and 19139 combined energy – exceptional but dangerous. The afternoon drops to 13ft, still huge, with clean offshore wind. This window is the highlight for big-wave chargers.
Thursday the 10th eases to 8ft in the morning, 8ft in the arvo, both with clean offshore winds – excellent for experienced surfers. Friday the 11th is a sweet spot: 5ft to 4ft, 12-second period, clean offshore breeze all day. Combined energy in the 700-900 range – very good conditions.
Saturday the 12th afternoon is a gem: 5ft SSW, 14 seconds, glassy, with combined energy 661. Beautiful. Sunday the 13th is small but glassy – 3ft, 12-13 seconds, clean fun.
Monday the 14th morning has 10ft of S swell, 11-second period, glassy – combined energy 2218 – for experienced surfers. The afternoon is more marginal.
Into the second week, Tuesday the 15th offers 6ft SSE swell, 10-second period, clean cross-off winds both sessions – solid. Wednesday the 16th fades with smaller swell and strong offshore winds, but quality drops.
Bottom line: Saturday the 5th morning is your best early call – clean, fun size, great conditions. For the big dogs, Tuesday 8th through Wednesday 9th is the heavy stuff – massive swell, offshore wind, but only for experts. Stay sharp.
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.
