Keurbooms Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what Keurbooms has on offer.

For the next couple weeks, this is your spot. It’s a river-mouth break exposed to the southwest, and the water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year.

We start things off on Saturday, July 25th. The morning is glassy, dead calm, with a solid 8ft SW groundswell running at a 13-second period. That’s got some serious push behind it (energy reading 2248). The waves will be powerful and clean, but that size is for the experienced crew. Beginners should stay on the sand. By the afternoon, the wind turns cross-on and things get a little lumpy.

Sunday the 26th is a beauty. Morning is glassy again, with a slightly smaller 7ft SW swell, still clean and full of power (1711 energy). The whole day stays clean, so get on it early.

Monday the 27th gets bigger. Morning is okay, but the afternoon sees a jump to 10ft from the SSW with a 14-second period (3817 energy). That’s a lot of water and the wind is onshore. This looks more like a kiteboarding day than a surf session.

Tuesday the 28th, the swell is just huge – 10ft to 12ft, periods hitting 15 seconds. That’s extreme, long-period groundswell. The energy readings are massive (3790-4529). Don’t even think about it unless you’re a top-level charger.

We get a real nice break on Wednesday the 29th morning. The swell drops to a more manageable 8ft from the SSW, and the wind goes dead glassy. Clean lines, plenty of power.

Thursday the 30th, the swell switches to the east with a short period of 8 seconds. Size is around 7-8ft. It’s glassy in the morning and afternoon, but that short period means the waves will be a bit weak and soft.

Friday the 31st of July, we get another push of east swell. The morning is 10ft, 9-second period. A bit too big and a bit weak, but it’s glassy. The afternoon drops to 8ft, still clean, and that’s the better session.

Going into August, Saturday the 1st is looking prime. You’ve got 7-7ft of east swell with a 10-second period, and clean cross-off winds. Lovely conditions. Sunday the 2nd brings a bigger pulse of 10ft from the east, but the morning is glassy.

Monday the 3rd of August is a standout sleeper. The swell is only 5ft, but it’s a long 13-second SW groundswell with zero wind – glassy calm. That’s quality over quantity, perfect for a relaxed session. Tuesday the 4th holds similar small, clean conditions.

Then we have a massive pulse hitting on the 6th, 7th, and 8th of August. Swells of 10ft to 12ft from the SW with 14-15 second periods. Energy readings are through the roof (3733-5329). This is heavy, dangerous surf. Expert only, and even then, it might just be too much.

The run fizzles out on the 8th with a 2ft ripple (energy 48), and barely anything on the afternoon. Then on the 9th, we see a rebuild to 8ft from the SSW, but with cross-shore winds. It’s there, but not special.

Best bets: Sunday morning the 26th, Wednesday morning the 29th of July, and that small, glassy Monday the 3rd of August. Hit those windows for the cleanest, most enjoyable waves.

Rusty.
