Table - best surf conditions forecast for Saint Leu over the next 16 days.


Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a good look at what's on the cards for Saint-Leu over the next couple of weeks.

We've got a classic run of surf coming up. The opening weekend is a bit of a slow burn, but hold tight because from Sunday morning the 12th, things really start to fire. The water temp is sitting at 76.3°, which is about a degree and a half warmer than average for this time of year – a nice little bonus.

The first real standout is Sunday morning, July the 12th. Saint Leu is a point break, and it's set to handle a solid 10ft SW groundswell. The period is a long 15 seconds, and with a clean, gentle offshore breeze from the SE, this is going to be serious. The energy is pumping at a whopping 3281 (kinda strong), but with that size, this is strictly for the advanced crew. It will be big, powerful, and pure. This is the standout of the run.

After that, the quality holds into Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th. We're still looking at solid 7.2ft SW groundswell on Monday with clean offshore winds, making for excellent conditions for experienced surfers. Tuesday drops a touch to 5.9ft SSW, but the wind stays favourable. The energy is still moderate-to-strong (1960 on Monday, 1186 on Tuesday).

Looking further ahead into the second week, there's another promising window. Tuesday morning, July the 21st looks like a beauty. We've got a 6.9ft SSW groundswell with a 14-second period, and the wind is calm and glassy – perfect. The energy is strong (1762). That morning session will be the one to circle on the calendar, though long-range forecasts are always a little less certain, so keep an eye on it. The following Saturday morning the 25th also looks very clean with a solid 5.2ft SSW swell and glassy conditions.

There will be a bit of a lull around Thursday the 16th to Saturday the 18th where the swell drops right off, but that's just a breather before the next pulse comes through. It's a classic set-up where patience will be rewarded.

Stay safe out there.

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.
