The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer at Le Kerou over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – the first week is a write-off. From Friday the 24th right through to Saturday the 1st of August, it’s a real struggle. We’re looking at tiny dribbles, mostly poor conditions, and onshore slop. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 67°, but that’s the only nice thing I can say. You’re better off leaving the boards in the shed.
Things finally start to look interesting on Sunday the 2nd of August. That morning is the standout. We’ve got a solid 6ft groundswell rolling in from the west, with a long period of 11 seconds – that’s proper energy (1346). The wind is light from the north, a clean cross-off breeze, and the wave comment says it’s excellent for experienced surfers. This is a big one, so if you’re not a solid surfer, give it a miss. The water is still that touch warmer than average. The best session will be that Sunday morning before the wind shifts onshore in the afternoon.
Monday the 3rd still has some decent size, with a 8ft swell from the southwest, but the period drops to 8 seconds, so it’s a bit lumpier. The morning wind is cross-off from the north-northeast, keeping it clean, but it’s a step down from Sunday. Tuesday the 4th is another strong morning option with a 7ft west-southwest groundswell (1176) and light northerly winds, but again, the afternoon gets messy. Wednesday the 5th is a drop-off in size, and from there it fades back into small stuff for the rest of the week.
So, the honest truth? The only real standout in this whole window is Sunday morning, the 2nd of August. That’s the one to circle. It’s big, it’s clean, and it’s got heaps of energy. Get out there early, because the wind will mess it up by lunch.
Rusty.

Information about the Le Kerou Surf forecast
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. If you surf the same spot (Le Kerou) 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 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.
