Table - best surf conditions forecast for Saint Leu over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s break it down. Saint Leu is the spot, and it’s about to fire. The water’s at 76°, a bit warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be comfy in a spring suit, maybe a shorty.
Thursday morning, July 9th, is a dead-set gem. Glassy, clear, and a clean 5ft swell from the SSE with a 10-second period. The energy is pumping at 502 (moderate). It’s going to be a dream session on the point. The wind is dead calm.
Friday, July 10th, is another stunner. The swell drops to 3ft, but the period jumps to 15 seconds – proper groundswell. The energy is still solid at 519. Glassy all day.
Saturday, July 11th, the swell builds to 6ft from the SW, period 15 seconds, and the energy is 1448 (strong). Glassy again. This is for the experienced crew. The afternoon hits 7ft, energy 1717.
The absolute standout is Sunday morning, July 12th. We’ve got a 10ft groundswell from the SW, period 15 seconds, and a massive 3281 energy (strong). The wind is a clean offshore from the SE at 15 mph. This is pure, heavy, expert-only point break. The crowds will be likely, but the waves will be incredible. The afternoon drops to 8ft with a fresh offshore at 18 mph.
Monday and Tuesday stay excellent. Monday morning, July 13th, sees 8ft with a gentle offshore. Tuesday, July 14th, sees 6ft with glassy morning conditions. The swell drops through Wednesday, July 15th, and Thursday, July 16th, is a poor day at 2ft.
A gap then until Friday, July 17th, and Saturday, July 18th, with small 3ft to 3ft surf. Nothing special.
Then, Sunday, July 19th, another big pulse. The morning sees 6ft from the SSW with a ridiculously long 19-second period, and energy at 2443 (strong). This is a very long period groundswell – perfect for a point break. Glassy. The afternoon builds to 7ft, period 17 seconds, energy 2707. This is a second-week highlight.
Monday, July 20th, stays excellent with 7ft, 15-second period, and glassy morning conditions. Tuesday, July 21st, is another 7ft morning with glass. The run fades, but the morning of July 23rd has a 5ft swell with a 21-second period – that’s a very long period groundswell, energy 1751. It’s going to be fast and powerful.
Friday morning, July 24th, is the last ripper: 7ft from the SSW, 16-second period, 2206 energy, and a clean offshore wind.
The best bets are the 12th of July for the big, heavy, expert-only stuff, and the morning of the 19th of July for that super long period groundswell. Both with glassy or offshore wind.
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.
