Saint Leu Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s break it down. Saint Leu’s been holding some decent swell lately, and this run has a few proper windows if you time it right. The water’s sitting warm at about 76°F, a touch above the normal for this time of year — you’ll feel that warmth when you paddle out.

This is a point break that’s consistent and exposed to southwest swell. Crowds can get in the way sometimes, so beat the rush if you can.

Saturday starts off a bit weak — cross-onshore wind and only about 5ft of southwest swell. The afternoon glass is nicer, but it’s still small. Not much juice yet.

Sunday morning the wind shifts offshore from the SSE, and the swell bumps to 6ft with a 17-second period. That’s a proper groundswell pulse, and the energy is already building. Clean and lined up.

Monday keeps the offshore flow, a bit stronger breeze, but still clean. Swell holds around 5–6ft, a touch shorter period, but plenty of push. Good for experienced surfers.

Tuesday morning brings a fresh SSE offshore breeze and the swell jumps to 6ft with an 18-second period — that’s real groundswell energy. The afternoon smooths out with similar size.

Now, Wednesday — this is the one. Wednesday morning is glassy with 10ft of south swell, and the energy reading is strong. That’s a big, powerful day. Too big for beginners, no debate. The afternoon is even better — same size, clean offshore wind, and the energy spikes even higher. This is a top-tier day, expert only.

Thursday settles to around 6ft, still clean and glassy at times. Really good, just not as heavy.

Friday drops off hard — under 3ft, cross-onshore, and weak. Not worth getting wet.

The weekend sees a rebuild — Saturday the 19th brings back 3–4ft of clean, glassy surf with a 15-second period. Small but fun. Sunday stays similar, a bit more wind variation, but still okay.

Monday the 21st is a mixed bag — messy morning, but the afternoon cleans up with a cross-off breeze and 4–5ft from the southwest. Not big, but a session worth having.

Tuesday the 22nd morning is another spike — 6ft from the SSW with an 18-second period, glassy and powerful. That’s a standout morning. The afternoon turns cross-onshore, losing a bit of shine.

Then a flat patch — small, messy cross-onshore for a couple of days. Not much on offer.

But the final stretch delivers. Saturday the 26th morning is dead calm, glassy, with 3–4ft of long-period south swell. Clean as anything. The afternoon holds the clean lines.

And then the other big one — Sunday the 27th. Morning is cross-onshore and a bit lumpy with 7ft south swell, but the afternoon cleans right up with a light offshore breeze, and the swell jumps to 8ft from the south with a 17-second period. Big energy, big waves. Expert only. That’s a proper finish.

So the two days to plan around are Wednesday the 16th and Sunday the 27th. Everything else is either fun but small, or just a waiting game. Pick your moments, watch the wind, and get after it.

Rusty out.
