The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. I’ve looked over the cards for Le Kerou for the next 16 days, and I gotta say, it’s a tough one. There’s not a single decent surf session in the whole run. The swell is just tiny, barely a ripple, and when it does try to show up, the wind is all over it. It’s a real bummer.
We start off Friday the 17th with a tiny 0.7ft swell from the WSW, but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, making it a total washout. The wave energy is basically nothing, just a measly 10, so don’t even bother paddling out. Saturday the 18th starts glassy with a slight air, but that 0.7ft swell is just not enough to work with.
We go through a whole week of the same story. The wind flips offshore a few times between the 19th and the 22nd, which would normally be a good sign, but the swell is still stuck at 0.7ft to 1.0ft. The energy is in the single digits and teens. It’s clean, sure, but there’s nothing to ride.
Then we hit the last few days of July and the start of August. The swell does pick up a touch on the 27th, hitting 4.6ft from the W with a period of 8 seconds and a moderate energy of 466. But the wind is a brutal cross-onshore, making it a lumpy, choppy mess. That’s more of a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surfing day. The water temp is sitting at 69.4°, which is 5.6° warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s very unusual.
After that, it’s more of the same slop with strong cross-onshore winds. The energy does climb to 203 on the 29th, but the wind is a strong breeze, and the surf quality is just poor. Look, for this area, a blank run like this can happen. It’s a tough stretch, but the forecasts can always change. For now, keep the board in the car and wait for the next one.

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.
