The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's break down what's coming for Saint Leu.
We've got a solid run of swell lining up over the next couple of weeks. The first call is for Monday the 14th, so no gap at the start. The water is sitting at a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, at 76°, which is a nice little bonus.
The whole period kicks off Monday afternoon with a clean 5ft SW groundswell, period a solid 13 seconds. Combined energy is moderate (886), but with a light offshore wind, it's shaping up nicely. However, the real standout of this whole run is Wednesday the 16th. That morning we see a jump to a powerful 10ft S swell with a long 15 second period. The energy is strong (4292), and with a light offshore breeze, it's going to be a serious day. This is expert territory though—that size at Saint Leu, a point break, is going to be a heavy, fast wave. The long period groundswell will be drawing right down the reef, offering up some proper barrels. Not for the faint-hearted.
Tuesday the 15th also looks excellent for experienced surfers. The afternoon sees a 6ft SSW swell, 17 seconds, with a moderate offshore wind and very strong energy (2871). Thursday the 17th morning looks glassy with a clean 7ft S swell and moderate energy (1305); that's another prime window. After that, we ease off into the weekend of the 19th and 20th with smaller, cleaner 3ft to 5ft SW swells, perfect for a wider range of surfers, still with offshore winds. The quality stays high through the end of the week of the 21st.
Looking into the second week, it gets promising again. Thursday the 24th afternoon looks glassy with a 4ft SSW groundswell from 16 seconds and strong energy (1143). Then the real buzz is the last weekend of September. Friday the 25th through Sunday the 27th is pumping again. Expect 7ft to 8ft SSW swells, long periods, and clean, offshore winds. Energy is consistently strong to very strong (1807 up to 2582). That Sunday afternoon (27th) looks particularly special with glassy conditions and a solid 6ft SSW swell. After that, we taper off into smaller, less favourable cross-onshore conditions for the 28th and 29th.
So to sum it up: the absolute best on offer is Wednesday the 16th for the big-swell experts, and the whole last weekend of September (25th-27th) for those who can handle solid, powerful point surf. The rest of the time is dotted with excellent, clean waves, especially the mornings. Crowds can be a factor at Saint Leu, so get in early.
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.
