The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s get into it.
We’ve got a slow start, then a real run of solid groundswell coming through for Saint Leu. The first few days are pretty quiet, with a big gap of nothing much from the 2nd of September through to the 4th. Kicks off properly on the 7th of September and rolls into the second week, with a couple of absolute standouts that will have the advanced crew frothing.
The first real standout lands on Sunday morning, the 7th of September. Saint Leu gets a clean 8ft SSW swell, with a long 16-second period. That’s proper groundswell, and with a light offshore breeze keeping it clean, this is expert territory all the way. The combined energy is strong (3,648) and the direction matches the optimum WSW, so the point will be lining up well. This is the session to circle.
Then, Tuesday morning, the 8th of September, is another absolute gem. We’ve got 8ft from the S, a 15-second period, and glassy conditions. Again, this is a big, powerful swell for advanced surfers only. The energy is very strong (3,586) and the point will be working beautifully.
There’s also a huge pulse looming for Thursday the 10th with 13ft to 15ft S swell, but it’s coming with cross-onshore wind. The energy is massive (13,433) but the wind state messes with the quality. For experienced surfers who know the break, it could still be a beast, but it won’t be as clean as the 7th or 8th. The following morning on Friday the 11th cleans up again with 12ft and offshore wind – another big-day option for the crew who can handle it.
Saint Leu is a point break, so the long-period groundswell will set up well. Water temp feels about average for the time of year, nothing unusual. Crowds are a possibility here, so on those standouts, expect some company. The break is consistent, so you know it’ll be on.
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.
