The Lowdown

Right, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Saint Leu.

We’ve got a solid run of swell coming in, starting on the morning of Tuesday the 11th. Water temp is 25°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might get away without a spring suit for a while yet. The first couple of mornings look best, especially Tuesday morning with a 4ft SW groundswell, period of 14 seconds, and glassy conditions – that’s going to be clean and fun. The wave energy is moderate (746). By Tuesday afternoon it gets a bit cross-on and lumpy, so morning’s the go.

Wednesday morning is a bit messy too, but Wednesday afternoon cleans right up with a light SE offshore and 4ft SW swell at 14 seconds – that’ll be nice. Thursday is smaller and cross-on, nothing to write home about.

Now, Friday the 14th – pay attention. Friday afternoon brings a glassy 4ft swell, but the period jumps to 21 seconds and the combined energy is a solid 1886. That’s a proper long-period groundswell – those sets will have real push, and at Saint Leu’s point setup, it’ll wrap in beautifully. That’s a standout.

Saturday the 15th is the big day. Saturday afternoon sees a 8ft S swell at 18 seconds, combined energy of 5624 – that’s strong. Offshore S winds, clean, and the rating is exceptional for experts. This is for the crew who know what they’re doing – over 8ft on the morning, and the afternoon is still solid. Not a spot for beginners, this is expert territory.

Sunday the 16th has size too, but the morning is onshore and messy. Sunday afternoon cleans up with a cross-off and 8ft SSW swell – solid again, but the morning gap is a write-off.

Monday the 17th goes smaller, but the afternoon session with 4ft SW at 16 seconds and clean cross-off wind is a nice little window if you missed the weekend. The rest of that week tails off into smaller, glassy mornings but nothing special until…

Friday the 21st. Friday morning is glassy, 6ft SSW at 18 seconds, combined energy 2042 – this is another standout. Clean, solid, and that long period will give you proper, lined-up sets at the point. Friday afternoon stays clean with a 7ft SSW – excellent for experienced surfers. The following days drop off a bit, but keep an eye on Wednesday the 26th – both morning and afternoon have 4-5ft SSW at 18-19 seconds, with a gentle offshore SE wind – that’s clean, powerful, and worth waking up for.

Overall, the real highlights are Friday afternoon the 14th for that glassy, long-period pulse, and Saturday afternoon the 15th for the bigger, expert-level stuff. Friday the 21st is also a beauty.

That’s it from me. 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.
