The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
We’ve got a solid run of swell heading our way at Saint Leu, a classic point break that loves a good SW groundswell. The water is sitting at 77°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – you’ll feel that extra bit of comfort.
The first decent action kicks off Monday morning, August 3rd. It’s not the biggest, but the conditions are spot on. We’re looking at a 4ft SW swell with a 14-second period, and the wind is glassy from the west. The wave energy is strong, clocking in at 1188. This is excellent stuff for experienced surfers – clean, lined-up waves rolling down the point. Tuesday morning, August 4th, the swell drops to 2ft from the south, but with a clean cross-offshore breeze, it’ll still be fun and rideable for those who know the break.
The standout morning is definitely Saturday, August 8th. The swell bumps back up to 4ft from the SSW, but the period stretches to 18 seconds – that’s proper groundswell. The wind is offshore from the southeast, light and clean, and the energy is massive at 1145. The waves will be powerful, with long gaps between sets, perfect for the point. This is the pick of the first week.
Then we get into a stretch of building swell. By Monday, August 10th, the afternoon session is the go: 5ft SW swell, 16-second period, and a clean cross-offshore breeze. The energy is cranked up to 1281. Excellent conditions for those who are comfortable on a bigger wave.
The real meat shows up from Thursday, August 13th. The morning brings a solid 8ft SSW swell, but with a shorter 12-second period. The wind is a fresh offshore from the southeast, so it’ll be clean but powerful. This is expert territory – 8ft is no joke, and the energy is a huge 2243. The afternoon is similar, with a bit more wind.
Sunday, August 16th, is another absolute standout. The morning session offers a 7ft SW swell with an 18-second period and a gentle offshore. The energy is off the charts at 3093. These are long, clean, powerful lines – a point break dream. The afternoon holds strong too.
The run continues into the second week. Monday, August 17th, has a 8ft SW swell with a 16-second period, and the wind is dead calm in the morning – glassy perfection. The energy is 2917. The afternoon is even better with a 8ft SSW swell and a clean cross-offshore breeze, hitting 3371. Tuesday, August 18th, is just as good: 8ft SW swell, calm conditions, and 2773 energy. This is a very long run of quality surf for experts.
Crowds are possible at Saint Leu – it’s a known spot, but with this much swell, the more experienced crew will be out. The best of the best? Saturday, August 8th morning for the clean, long-period groundswell, and Sunday, August 16th morning for the sheer power and size. Get on 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.
