The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what’s cookin’ at Saint-Leu.
Sunday the 30th of August is gonna light up right away. We got a solid 8ft south swell rollin’ with a 14-second period, and the combined energy is a hefty 2863 (moderate to strong). Wind is light and cross-off, keepin’ the faces clean. This is for the experienced crew—this point break is consistent and throws long walls. Water temp is 77°, a touch warmer than normal. If you can handle the size, this is your time.
Sunday afternoon goes glassy with 8ft south swell, period 13 seconds, energy jumps to 3583. Dead calm. That’s the standout session right there.
Monday the 31st starts glassy with 5ft from the SSW, period 12 seconds, energy 600. Clean and fun. Afternoon gets a bit cross-on, so hit the morning.
Tuesday the 1st of September is small with 3ft and glassy, but energy drops to 198—weak. Surfable but ordinary. Wednesday the 2nd goes flat with 1ft to 2ft and messy wind. There’s a gap of a few days with nothin’ worth it until Friday the 4th brings a pulse of 6ft from the SSW, period 18 seconds, energy 1682, but wind is cross-on and it’s marginal. Thursday the 3rd is clean but tiny.
Saturday the 5th of September is worth a look. Morning has 6ft from the SW, period 14 seconds, glassy, energy 1340. Solid and clean for the experienced. Sunday the 6th is clean with 4ft, good for a session.
Now, Monday the 7th the swell builds. Morning is 6ft from the SSW, 16-second period, offshore wind from the SSE, energy 1677. Clean and powerful. Tuesday the 8th gets bigger—8ft in the morning, rampin’ to 8ft by afternoon with a 17-second period and energy 5008. Offshore wind from the SE. Exceptional, but experts only. Wednesday the 9th is the biggest pulse: 13ft in the morning, period 13 seconds, energy 6124, light offshore wind. Thursday the 10th holds at 13ft from the SSE but wind turns cross-on, a little tricky. For experts, these days are the real standout.
The second week tapers. Friday the 11th has 8ft, clean, and Saturday the 12th is glassy with 5ft. Sunday the 13th has a weird 22-second period swell of 3ft that might be too long for the break, and Monday the 14th brings back a clean 7ft with offshore vibes.
Best on offer: Sunday the 30th afternoon with that glassy 8ft south swell, and the monster window from Monday the 7th through Wednesday the 9th for the brave. Looks promising.
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.
