Updated for Swift 3

You can do something like this which is locale safe.

let calendar = Calendar.current
let date = Date()
let dateComponents = calendar.component(.day, from: date)
let numberFormatter = NumberFormatter()

numberFormatter.numberStyle = .ordinal

let day = numberFormatter.string(from: dateComponents as NSNumber)
let dateFormatter = DateFormatter()

dateFormatter.dateFormat = "MMM yyyy"

let dateString = "\(day!) \(dateFormatter.string(from: date))"

print(dateString)
