The Lowdown
Right then, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. The next few weeks are looking absolutely pumping for Saint Leu. We’ve got a monster pulse of groundswell rolling in, and the wind is playing ball for most of it. This is not one to sleep on.
It really kicks off proper on Tuesday the 8th. The swell jumps to a solid 8 ft from the SSW with a very long 16-second period, and with a fresh offshore breeze, the lines will be lined up nicely. The wave energy is very strong (5206), so expect some power. The water’s a touch warmer than normal at 76°F. Wednesday the 9th is the standout, though. That morning, you’ve got a clean 13 ft of SSW swell with a 17-second period. The wind is a clean offshore from the ESE. This is full-on, big-wave territory – only for experts. Conditions are exceptional. The energy is incredibly strong (10615). The afternoon holds the same quality.
After that peak, Thursday the 10th drops to a still-chunky 7 ft from the SSW, period is a long 14 seconds, and the wind goes light offshore. Clean and excellent for experienced surfers. Energy is still strong (3025). Friday the 11th stays clean with a smaller 5 ft to 5 ft from the SSE, with very light offshores. It’s still a lot of fun. Then we get a bit of a pause on Saturday the 12th with onshore winds, but Sunday the 13th redeems everything with glassy conditions and a clean 7 ft to 7 ft SSW swell.
The following week continues to deliver. Good, clean SSW swells all the way through to the 16th with offshore breezes. Then on Thursday the 17th, we get another big pulse – 10 ft from the S with glassy conditions in the afternoon. That’s a proper session. The absolute long-range highlight, though, is on Friday the 18th. A massive 8 ft swell from the SW, but the period! A 21-second groundswell. That’s phenomenal energy (6060). The wind is light cross-shore, but the afternoon goes completely glassy. This is a point break, and that period will create some incredibly long, walled-up bowls. It does get a bit smaller and windier from the 19th onward, but there’s glassy 8 ft SW swell on the 22nd to finish the run strong.
Overall, the best session on offer is Wednesday morning, the 9th of September, for sheer size and power. And then keep an eye on Friday the 18th for that ridiculous 21-second period. It’s an epic run for advanced surfers.

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.
