Alright, Rusty here, and let’s have a look at what Keurbooms is serving up over the next couple of weeks.
We’ve got a solid run of surf on the way, but you’ll need to pick your moments. The water temp is sitting at 63°F which is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.
First up, Monday the 6th. Morning is looking tasty with clean 6ft SW swell (combined energy of 1169) and glassy conditions from a light easterly breeze. That's prime for an intermediate surfer. The afternoon gets a bit onshore and messy, so the morning is the window.
Tuesday the 7th is a two-session day. Both morning and afternoon are glassy with 7ft and 6ft SW swell respectively. The energy is pumping (1218 and 1113) and the wind is off or glassy all day. This is the best stretch of the early week.
Wednesday the 8th sees the swell bumping up to 7ft and then 8ft in the afternoon, still clean with cross-off winds. The energy jumps to 1782 and then 2090. This is getting into the big stuff – not for beginners, but if you've got the skills, the afternoon session has real grunt.
Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th things get too big for this spot. Swell hits 10ft and 12ft with energy readings of 3020 to 3659. That’s too much for Keurbooms – expert only, and even then, it’s a bit sketchy.
Saturday the 11th is a return to form. Morning glassy with 7ft SW swell, and the afternoon cleans up with 6ft. Good stuff.
Sunday the 12th offers cleaner but smaller waves, 5ft in the morning and 6ft in the afternoon. Solid for a weekend session.
Monday the 13th and Tuesday the 14th are small but glassy – 5ft to 5ft, perfect for a longboard or a soft top. Energy is modest (772 to 871), but the conditions are pure silk.
Midweek, Wednesday the 15th drops right off. 3ft and messy, not worth the paddle.
Thursday the 16th morning looks promising again with 4ft SW swell from a long 12-second period, glassy conditions. That’s a sleeper session.
Friday the 17th picks up again with 6ft SW swell, though the morning has a bit of cross-shore wind. The afternoon cleans up nicely.
Saturday the 18th is a write-off – small, onshore, poor.
Then Sunday the 19th morning throws a curveball: 8ft SW swell and glassy conditions. That’s a big, clean wave but only for the experienced crew. The energy is 2110 – serious power.
Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st keep the momentum going with 7ft to 8ft SW swell and mostly clean winds. The 21st has some glassy morning sessions with 8ft and energy over 2000 – that’s a standout for the second week, though keep in mind it’s long-range so treat it as promising but not locked in.
Overall, the standout is Tuesday the 7th – two clean, glassy sessions with solid 7ft SW swell. For the second week, Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st morning are the ones to circle on the calendar.
Keep it salty.
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.
