The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
We’ve got a real nice stretch of surf coming up for Saint Leu, a classic point break that just loves a long-period groundswell. The water is sitting a bit warmer than usual for the season, at 77°, so it’s a comfortable temp for a long session.
The top pick is Monday, July 27th. We’re looking at a solid 7ft swell from the SW, with a super long 16-second period. Winds are glassy, not a breath of air, and the energy is cranking (4454). For a point break, that long period is a dream – it’ll draw long, lined-up waves. This is advanced stuff, so leave the foamies at home. The afternoon holds up too, with the swell jumping to 10ft from the SW, still clean under cross-off breezes. That’s a serious session.
Tuesday the 28th is another cracker. Morning is glassy again with a 7ft SW swell, 14-second period, still strong. The afternoon goes to 8ft from the SSW with a 17-second period – incredibly long lines – and clean cross-off winds. The energy is still strong.
The quality stays high through Wednesday and Thursday with glassy mornings and clean afternoons, though the swell size drops a little. Friday the 31st is still glassy, with 6ft SSW swell, a bit more relaxed.
Come Saturday, August 1st, there’s a 7ft SSW swell with glassy morning conditions. Sunday the 2nd gets a bit bumpy with cross-onshore wind, so maybe a rest day.
The week of the 3rd starts small, but look at Wednesday, August 5th. Morning offers a 5ft SSW swell with a massive 18-second period, glassy conditions, and 1838 combined energy. The period is so long the waves will have serious power – a real treat for the experienced surfer, but it’s a week out, so keep a tab on it.
The second week’s standout is Monday and Tuesday, August 10th and 11th. Monday morning has a 8ft SW swell, 16-second period, offshore winds at 20 km/h (12 mph), and energy of 2667. Tuesday is almost identical, with a 7ft SSW swell and offshore winds. This is a serious, powerful, clean swell window. It’s a long-range call, so it’s promising but not set in stone.
Earlier in that second week, the 8th and 9th also look clean with offshore winds and 5-5ft SW swell, solid for a good session.
The last few days from the 7th onward see the swell drop but stay clean, with some glassy spells.
The absolute best of the lot is July 27th and 28th for the size, period, and glassy wind. The 10th and 11th of August are the promising long-range picks. Crowds are possible at Saint Leu, so get there early.
Rusty out.

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.
