The Lowdown

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s get into it. The next couple of weeks at Saint Leu are looking like a real treat for the experienced crew. We’ve got a solid run of groundswells lining up, and with the right winds, this point is going to be pumping.

We kick off on Thursday, July 23rd, with a clean 6 ft swell from the south, carrying some serious energy (1155). The moderate offshore breeze from the SSE will have the lineup looking tidy. This is proper, powerful surf for advanced surfers.

Friday the 24th is the real standout. A glassy morning, flat calm, with a 4 ft SSW groundswell. The period is a long 15 seconds, so you’ll get those long, wrapping lines down the point with plenty of push (1040). This is a dream session right here.

Saturday morning the 25th keeps the glassy conditions going with a 5 ft SW swell. It’s clean, it’s consistent, and it’s all yours. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

Sunday the 26th is a bit of a mixed bag. The morning has a light onshore breeze, but the afternoon is a gem. The wind drops to glassy, and a 4 ft SSW groundswell with a very long 19-second period rolls in, packing a serious punch (1468). This long-period energy will wrap beautifully around the point, but it might feel a bit fat on the sections.

Now, Monday the 27th is for the big dogs. The morning is glassy and pumping 8 ft of SW swell (3634). This is a heavy, powerful, and very strong wave energy. This is expert territory only. If you’re not on it, stay on the beach.

The following week keeps the swell alive. Thursday the 30th has a 3 ft SSW groundswell with a massive 22-second period. That’s an incredibly long wait between sets, but the energy is still strong (1540). It’ll be clean and perfect for those who can read the ocean.

The absolute peak of the run comes on Friday, July 31st. Morning has a clean 8 ft SSW swell, with a strong offshore flow (3984). The afternoon is the same size, still offshore, and still pumping (3509). This is as good as it gets. If you can handle the size, you’ll have the wave of your life.

The first week of August holds a steady supply of 4 ft to 5 ft SSW groundswells with consistent offshore winds. It’s a long, healthy run of clean, powerful surf. The energy drops a bit towards the end of the second week, but Wednesday, August 6th, brings a glassy morning with a 4 ft, 15-second SSW groundswell to wrap things up nicely.

This is one of those rare forecasts where the stars align. The swell is consistent, the wind is nearly always offshore or glassy, and the point at Saint Leu is built for this. Get out there and get some.

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.
