The Lowdown

Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Keurbooms.

We’ve got a hefty run of groundswell coming through. The water temp is sitting at 64°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.

The standout session is clear as day: Friday 25 July morning. The swell is a solid 8ft out of the SW, with a period of 13 seconds, and it’s dead glassy. The combined energy is pumping at 2145, which is strong. This is one for the experienced crew – it’s a lot of power, and the wind is absolutely perfect. Expect a bit of a crowd though, it’s a popular spot.

The next real gem is Sunday 26 July. The morning is glassy with a 7ft SW swell (12-second period, energy 1589). The afternoon stays clean too, with a lighter 6ft and glassy conditions. Excellent quality, consistent waves.

There’s a bit of a lull mid-week, with messy, cross-on winds and some rain on Tuesday 28 July. The swell gets too big for comfort on the 28th afternoon, hitting 10ft, and it’s choppy. Not worth a paddle.

Then we get back into it. Thursday 30 July morning is a beauty – 6ft from the ESE, 9-second period, glassy. The energy is moderate at 1016, but the conditions are pristine. The wind is offshore, so it’ll be clean.

Friday 31 July afternoon is another cracker. 7ft SSW swell, 16-second period – that’s a very long period groundswell. The energy is a strong 2945, and it’s glassy. The long period will make it wall up nicely at Keurbooms, which is a river mouth, so it should handle that energy well. More of a crowd likely.

The first week of August looks promising. Saturday 01 August afternoon is glassy with a 7ft SW swell. Sunday 02 August is glassy all day, with a 7ft morning swell from the E. Monday 03 August is glassy with a 6ft SW swell. Tuesday 04 August morning is glassy with a 6ft SW swell. All of these are solid, clean options for experienced surfers.

The real cherry on top for the longer range is Wednesday 05 August afternoon. 7ft SW swell, 14-second period, clean cross-offshore wind. Energy is 1832. That’s a gorgeous combination.

The window closes out with a few more clean options on Friday 07 August afternoon and Saturday 08 August morning, both with clean cross-offshore winds and 6ft SW swell. The 8th afternoon gets a bit too big again at 10ft.

Overall, there’s plenty of solid surf. The best of the best is Friday 25 July morning, with Sunday 26 July and Friday 31 July afternoon as absolute standouts. Keep an eye on the long period stuff – it’ll be powerful.

Information about the Keurbooms Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Keurbooms provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Keurbooms can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Keurbooms 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 (Keurbooms) 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 Keurbooms 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.
