The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Le Kerou. I’m not gonna lie to you, mate – this stretch of coast is looking pretty quiet over the next two and a bit weeks. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year at 66°, nothing out of the ordinary there.
The first few days, from Thursday the 6th through to the end of the first week, are basically a write-off. Small, weak swell, mostly under 2 ft, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, messing up what little energy there is. You’re looking at combined swell energy in the teens and twenties, which is just weak. Not worth paddling out for.
We do get a little lift around the middle of the month. Thursday morning the 13th sees a bit more size, with 3 ft of swell from the WSW and a period of 11 seconds, which gives it a bit of push. The combined energy climbs to 198 (moderate), and the wind is a light cross-off from the N, keeping it clean. This is probably the best looking session in the whole window, but it’s still only ordinary, not a classic. The break is fairly consistent, but it’s a beginner spot, so that’s fine.
Friday morning the 14th is similar, 3 ft WSW swell with a light offshore from the NNE, clean conditions. Then again on Monday the 17th, we get a clean morning with 3 ft WSW swell and a light cross-off from the NNW, energy hitting 138. That’s another one to keep an eye on.
But honestly, there’s no standout session here. The swell never really gets above 3 ft, and the wind turns onshore or cross-onshore on most afternoons. The period is mostly in the 8-10 second range, so it’s a mix of windswell and weak groundswell. Nothing to get excited about. If you’re desperate, aim for those clean mornings on the 13th, 14th, or 17th, but don’t expect much.

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

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 Le Kerou 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.
