The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let's break this down.

We’ve got a good run of surf coming, and the big one to aim for is Wednesday the 16th – that’s the day that’ll have everyone talking. Big swell, clean conditions, and light wind.

Sunday 13th September – Saint Leu kicks it off with a 6ft SSW groundswell, 17-second period. That’s a long interval, so the waves will have plenty of power. The wind is light offshore from the SSE at 6 mph, so the surface will be clean. Water temp is 75°, about normal for the season. Combined energy is strong at 2136. This is an advanced wave, so only the experienced crew should be out. Crowds can show up here, so get in early. Afternoon sees it bump to 7ft, still clean with a gentle offshore.

Monday 14th drops a bit to 5-6ft in the morning, still clean. The afternoon gets a little windier, but it’s still surfable.

Tuesday 15th is solid again. Morning has 6ft SSW groundswell with an 18-second period – that’s a long lull between sets but when they come, they’ll be lined up and powerful. Wind is fresh offshore at 18 mph, so it’ll be clean but a bit blowy. Energy is very strong at 2612. Afternoon is about 6ft, same direction.

Now the highlight: Wednesday 16th September. Morning brings a big 10ft S swell with a 15-second period. Wind is light offshore, just 6 mph from the SE, so it’ll be glassy. Combined energy is massive at 4340. This is big, powerful, expert-only surf. If you’re not comfortable in solid waves, stay on the beach. The afternoon holds the same size, a few clouds but still clean. This is the best session of the whole window.

Thursday 17th drops in size. Morning is a bit messy with a cross-onshore wind, but the afternoon turns glassy with a 5ft SSE swell – nice for a session, but not the standout.

From Friday 18th onwards, the surf fades. The weekend sees waves drop to around 2-3ft, with some onshore and cross-shore winds. There are a few clean moments on the 20th and 22nd with waist-high leftovers, but nothing compared to the mid-week pulse.

Monday 21st afternoon has a small 2-3ft SSW swell with a 17-second period, so there’s energy but not much height.

Tuesday 23rd picks up again to around 4ft with a moderate offshore, and Thursday 24th morning is glassy with a 3-4ft SW swell – a nice little session if you’re around.

After that, it’s small and clean but nothing special. The final week has waves in the 2ft to 4ft range, mostly clean or glassy, but very small.

So the main takeaway: Wednesday 16th at Saint Leu is the standout with 10ft S swell and glassy conditions. Tuesday 15th and Sunday 13th are also quality. After that, it’s small clean windows for a paddle, but no big waves.

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.
