Table - best surf conditions forecast for Saint Leu over the next 16 days.
G’day, this is Rusty.
We’ve got a solid run of swell on the cards for Saint Leu. It’s a classic, exposed point break that handles a good SW groundswell, and the coming days are looking generous. The water temp is sitting pretty much where it should be for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The real standout is Sunday the 12th of July. The morning delivers a solid 10ft SW swell with a 15-second period, and a cracking SE offshore wind at 12 mph. The combined energy is pumping hard at 3281 (strong to very strong), and the conditions are clean and powerful. It’s proper expert territory at that size, but for those who can handle it, this is the session to aim for. The afternoon holds well too, with 8ft of SSW swell and still offshore.
The other absolute ripper is Sunday the 19th of July. It’s a week away, so keep an eye on the forecast, but it’s showing a 10ft S swell with a 15-second period and a light SE offshore breeze. The energy is second to none at 4296, and the conditions are clean. Again, this is for the experienced crew only.
Before that, the week kicks off nicely. Friday the 10th of July has a clean 4ft SW swell with glassy morning conditions and a light NW wind. The energy is moderate (581), but it’s a fun, manageable size. Saturday the 11th sees the swell jump to 6ft with a WSW glass-off in the morning, and the energy climbs to 1448. The wind stays light, so it’s a good step up for the keen.
Monday the 13th keeps the quality going with 8ft of SW swell and a clean SE offshore in the morning, though watch for the risk of thunderstorms. The energy is strong at 2155. Tuesday the 14th drops a touch to 6ft, still clean, and the energy eases to 961. From Wednesday the 15th through to Saturday the 18th, the swell drops significantly, with heights under 4ft and weaker energy. It’s surfable but not the highlight.
Then we hit that second standout on the 19th. Monday the 20th of July is still firing with 6ft SSW swell in the morning, building to 8ft in the afternoon. The energy is very strong (2837 to 3480), and the wind is offshore. Tuesday the 21st is glassy in the morning with 6ft of SSE swell, and the energy is strong at 1807. Things taper off through the rest of the week, with smaller swells and more wind, but the 25th of July shows a promising 2ft SW swell with a very long 19-second period. That period will make it line up nicely at Saint Leu, but the size is small.
Crowds can be an issue here at times, especially on the weekends when the swell is good. For the big days, expect company.
Signing off, 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.
