The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
We've got a solid run of surf lined up at Saint-Leu, a point break that's exposed to the swell. Right now, the water's sitting at 77°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
The action starts this Saturday morning, the 1st of August. It's glassy, with a light southerly breeze, and a solid 6ft SSW groundswell rolling in with a 15-second period. The combined energy is strong at 1589, and the water's glassy – it's a top pick for experienced surfers. Things do get a bit messy that afternoon with rain showers, but the morning is the clear winner.
Sunday morning, the 2nd, is also clean with a cross-offshore breeze and a 6ft SSW swell at 15 seconds. The energy is still strong (1326). Sunday afternoon gets a bit onshore, so stick to the morning.
Monday morning, the 3rd, is another glassy gem: 4ft of SW swell, 14-second period, and moderate energy (1188). It's a beauty for those who know what they're doing.
After that, the swell drops off for a few days. Tuesday and Wednesday are small, and Thursday and Friday are pretty ordinary with weak energy and cross-onshore winds. Not worth paddling out for.
But then it picks up again. Saturday morning, the 8th, sees a clean 4ft SSW groundswell with a very long 18-second period, and strong energy (1064). The offshore wind keeps it smooth. Sunday the 9th is similar, with clean conditions and a 5ft SW swell.
The standout period, though, is looking like Tuesday, the 11th of August. The morning is glassy with a 6ft SW groundswell, 18-second period, and very strong energy (2459). The afternoon sees a 7ft SSW swell, cross-offshore wind, and even more energy (2476). This is the best of the run for sure.
The swell holds through Wednesday the 12th, with clean 6ft surf, and stays good into Thursday the 13th with a moderate offshore breeze.
Things get a little tricky from Friday the 14th onwards. The swell gets big – over 8ft – and the winds become more cross-shore, making it a bit of a mess. By Saturday the 15th, we're looking at 10ft surf, but it's not clean enough for a great paddle session. This setup might be more interesting for the kite crowd.
But hold on. Sunday the 16th of August is a wild card. It's pumping 10ft to 12ft of S swell, with a strong offshore wind and exceptional energy levels (6128 to 6711). This is for expert surfers only – massive, powerful, and clean. It's a long way out, so keep an eye on it, but it could be the one to remember.
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.
