Table - best surf conditions forecast for Le Kerou over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on Le Kerou for the next couple of weeks.
First off, the water is running at 66°F – that’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might be fine with a spring suit.
Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day window, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty sorry run of surf. The wave energy is just weak, barely cracking 40 or 50 in the combined energy reading, and it never really gets going. There’s a bit of a pulse around Thursday the 16th afternoon where the energy hits 82 (moderate), but even then the swell is tiny at 3ft, period is a short 8 seconds, and the wind is straight onshore from the SW. That’s not going to give you anything worth paddling out for.
The pattern is pretty grim: day after day of onshore winds, mostly cross-on from the west or southwest, with the odd morning of light cross-off from the east or ENE. But even those cleaner moments – like Saturday the 11th morning or Sunday the 12th morning – the swell is only 1ft with a weak period and almost no energy. It’s flat, basically.
The wind really doesn’t give us a break either. Most afternoons are a fresh breeze, 18 to 22 mph, making it lumpy and choppy. There’s a short-lived chance on Sunday the 19th morning with a cross-shore wind from the NW and a gentle breeze, but the swell is just 1ft. Not enough to push a floaty.
There’s no standout surf in this outlook. The whole period is a write-off. If you’re desperate, the best you could hope for is maybe a quick session on Thursday the 16th afternoon if the swell bumps up to 3ft, but with that onshore wind and short period, it’s not going to be pretty. Honestly, for paddle surfing, you’re better off leaving the board on the car. If you’ve got a kite, the afternoon on Wednesday the 15th and Friday the 17th with 22 mph cross-on winds might be more interesting.
Stay tuned, forecasts can change. Rusty out.

A general guide to surfing at Le Kerou can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
