The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s get into it for Saint Leu. The water’s sitting at about 76°F, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year. Good sign.
This Friday morning, the 4th of September, we’ve got a little 3ft groundswell out of the SSW with a long 19-second period, but it’s cross-on and messy – not worth your time. The afternoon picks up to 5ft but it’s still not clean. The real fun starts Saturday the 5th: Saturday afternoon brings clean, glassy conditions with 5ft of swell. The period drops to 14 seconds but the wind goes glassy offshore from the ENE, and that’s a beauty. Moderate energy (816). That’s your first call.
Sunday the 6th is a bit flat, but Monday the 7th afternoon sees the swell jump to 8ft from the SSW with a moderate offshore wind from the SSE. Energy is at 2807 – excellent for the experienced crew. Tuesday the 8th is when it gets big: 10ft in the morning, 12ft in the afternoon, with strong offshore winds from the SE. Energy readings are huge – 6341 and 9133 – that’s expert-only territory. Wednesday the 9th is the big one for the first week: 13ft of swell out of the SSW, 17-second period, and clean offshore winds. Energy is off the charts at 10344. This is a legit big-wave day at a classic point break. Crowds can pop up, so be early.
From Thursday the 10th through the weekend, the swell settles but stays solid between 5ft and 7ft with clean offshore winds. Sunday the 13th morning is glassy with a 4ft, 18-second groundswell – a real sleeper for intermediate surfers. The second week looks promising but less certain. Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th bring 7ft to 7ft SSW swell with offshore winds. Thursday the 17th swings back huge: 13ft again, glassy – another bomb for experts. Friday the 18th holds at 10ft and 8ft, clean.
First week’s standout is Wednesday the 9th for the big-wave hunters. Second week, keep an eye on Thursday the 17th. Go get it.

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.
