Alright, Rusty here, let's get into it.
The next two weeks bring a real mixed bag to Keurbooms. We’ve got a massive pulse of energy coming through, but it’s going to be way too much for this spot for a good chunk of that time. The whole show kicks off with a powerful swell, but the real magic is waiting for us later.
We start Friday the 10th with a solid 10ft SSW groundswell pumping in (combined energy 3550). The wind is glassy, but honestly, the swell is just too big for this break. It’s a pass for me. Saturday the 11th morning is a different story. The swell drops to 8ft from the SSW (2231 energy), and with glassy conditions, it’s prime for experienced surfers. That’s the standout of the first week. The wind stays clean, and the swell is powerful but manageable for those who know what they’re doing. The water temp is 62°, which is about average for this time of year.
Sunday the 12th through to Wednesday the 15th sees the swell settle into a fun, smaller range. Mornings are glassy with 4ft to 6ft SSW swell, and the energy drops to a comfortable 328-842. It’s good, clean, and manageable for a broader range of skills. Thursday the 16th morning gets a bit lumpy with a cross-shore wind, but the afternoon cleans up again with a strong 8ft SW groundswell (2063 energy) and glassy conditions – another solid window for the experienced crew.
Now, here’s where it gets wild. Saturday the 18th and Sunday the 19th are a total no-go. A massive 16ft SW swell (energy over 8000-10000) rolls in with poor wind conditions. The water is going to be a washing machine. This is strictly for kites, not paddle surfing.
The surf returns on Monday the 20th with a clean 6ft SSE swell (887 energy) and glassy conditions. It’s a nice reset. But the real standout of the whole 16-day window is shaping up for Tuesday the 21st, and then again on the 25th. Tuesday the 21st morning is pure class: 7ft SSW groundswell with a very long 14-second period (2127 energy) and glassy winds. That’s a recipe for powerful, organized lines at Keurbooms. The swell is a touch big, but for experienced surfers, it’s going to be incredible. Then, after the big stuff on the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th (all too big, 10ft-15ft), we get Saturday the 25th. Morning glass, 8ft SW swell (2094 energy), and clean conditions. That’s another top-tier session for the crew who can handle it.
The long-range stuff after the 22nd is promising but we’ll have to see how it shapes up. For now, circle Saturday the 11th, Thursday the 16th afternoon, Tuesday the 21st morning, and Saturday the 25th on your calendar.
Rusty.

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.
