The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’m looking at the 16-day picture for Saint Leu. We’ve got some proper swell on the way, but it's not going to be perfect every day, so you gotta pick your windows.
We start off slow. The first real session to get excited about is on the morning of Saturday July 27th. That’s a standout. Saint Leu is an advanced point break, and it’s going to be pumping. We’re looking at a solid 7ft of SW groundswell, with a long period of 16 seconds, and the winds are glassy. The wave energy is strong. That’s big, clean, and lined up for the crew that knows what they're doing. The water temp is about average for this time of year. This swell is too big for beginners, it’s expert territory.
That swell holds through Sunday, July 28th. The afternoon is especially good: 8ft of SSW groundswell at 17 seconds, with a light cross-offshore breeze. Still very clean, still powerful, still for experienced surfers. Monday July 29th is also excellent, with solid 8ft to 7ft SSW groundswell and clean offshore winds all day.
We get a slight drop and a bit of a funky wind on Tuesday July 30th morning, but the afternoon returns to glassy conditions with a good 7ft SSW groundswell. Thursday August 1st and Friday August 2nd are still solid, with 8ft and 7ft SSW groundswell and clean conditions, but the standout energy has eased a bit.
Into the second week, things get a little smaller and less reliable. The morning of Saturday August 3rd is nice and clean with 5ft of SW groundswell, but the real power is gone. There’s a bit of a lull from August 4th through to the 5th, with smaller, more mixed-up conditions.
Then we see another promising pulse around Wednesday August 7th morning: 6ft of SSW groundswell, glassy. Solid, but less certain this far out. The following days look good for the more consistent intermediate days, with clean offshore winds and chest-to-head high swell, but nothing as strong as that first week.
Overall, the July 27th to 29th stretch is the real standout. Get on it if you can.

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.
