Alright, this is Rusty checkin' in from the shores, and right now it's all about one spot and one spot only: Saint-Leu. This is a classic point break, exposed and ready to fire. We've got a big drive of energy comin' through with a combined energy reading of 1448 kickin' off the period, but the early calls are messy.

The water temp is sittin' about where you'd expect for this time of year, so nothin' wild there.

Saturday the 11th is a scratch session – there's a 6ft to 7ft SW groundswell (15-second period) rollin' in, but the wind is on it or cross-onshore, makin' it a bit of a wasteland. Not worth paddlin' out for.

You want the good stuff? Sunday the 12th is where we start to see some magic. Morning comes in with a solid 10ft SW groundswell (15-second period) and clean, offshore SE wind at 9 mph. This is proper, powerful surf for experienced surfers. The combined energy jumps to 3281. That's the standout of the first week – big, long lines with that offshore groomin'. Afternoon holds strong with 8ft on the same swell.

Monday the 13th keeps the momentum with 8ft SW groundswell and light offshore wind. Afternoon goes glassy with a 7ft SSW swell, 14-second period – super clean. The combined energy is still strong at 1941. That glassy window right there on Monday arvo is a gem.

Tuesday the 14th offers glassy mornings and afternoons as the swell eases a bit to 6ft and then 6ft, period droppin' to 13 seconds. Energy is still moderate to strong (1253 and 987). Clean, fun waves, but you can feel the pulse droppin'.

From Wednesday the 15th through to the end of that week, we're lookin' at a real drop-off. Swell sizes tumble under 3ft, with long 16-second S groundswell creepin' in late Friday, but the energy is weak (182-500). There's a few glassy moments, but it's small and ordinary for the most part. Kites might have more fun on that beachier side than us paddlers.

Saturday the 19th and Sunday the 20th are a tease for the week ahead. On the 19th, we get a nice glassy clean-up with 3ft SW swinging up to 4ft on the arvo – combined energy climbin' to 872. But the real bang is Monday the 20th of July. Boom – the swell picks back up to a solid 10ft SSW groundswell (15-16 second period), with offshore SSE wind, and the combined energy rockets to a strong 4332. That's a day for the experienced crew to have their best session in a week.

Tuesday the 21st stays big (10ft) but with a cross-off wind, and then Wednesday the 22nd cleans right back up with offshore SSE and the swell holdin' at 10ft S – another banger.

Then we settle again. Thursday the 24th has a long-period 4ft SSW swell (16 seconds) with clean offshore wind, but it's smaller. Keep your eye on Saturday the 26th of July – we're seein' a massive 5ft SW groundswell with a very long 23-second period, combined energy of 5179 and offshore SE wind. That's exceptional for experts, with some seriously freight-train lines comin' through the point.

This whole run is for the advanced crew, especially when the swell pushes past 8ft. Beginners need to sit that out. The long-period swells (over 15 seconds) will juice up the point, but can make beach breaks a bit straight – perfect for a point like this though.

So in a nutshell: Sunday the 12th and Monday the 20th of July are your two true standouts. The rest is a rollercoaster of big, clean power and small flat spells. Glassy mornings and afternoons on the bigger days are the window to chase.

Stay stoked.
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.
