The Lowdown

Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Le Kerou. I’ve got to be honest with you, the next 16 days are looking pretty grim. There's no surf worth paddling out for in that whole window. The swell is tiny, the wind is all over the shop, and the whole setup is just a write-off. It’s a real bummer, but it happens. This area can go quiet, and when it does, it tends to stay that way for a bit. The forecasts can change, so don’t lose hope, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.

Let’s break it down. The first few days, from the 3rd of August, we’ve got a bit of swell but it’s completely blown out. Tuesday the 4th has some 4ft to 4ft WSW swell, but the wind is on it from the WSW and SW, making it a mess. The combined energy is moderate at best (320 on Tuesday morning, dropping to 180 in the afternoon), but with a short period of 7-8 seconds, it’s just mushy, wind-affected junk. Wednesday the 5th is similar, with onshore winds up to 22 mph making it lumpy. Not a chance.

The rest of the first week is tiny. Thursday the 6th sees a drop to 2ft with a light cross-breeze, but the energy is weak (43). Friday the 7th is even smaller, with 1ft swell. The wind is light and clean on Friday morning, but the wave size is just not enough to do anything with. The combined energy is a measly 25. That pattern continues right through the weekend and into the next week. The swell barely tickles 2ft at best, and the wind is either onshore, cross-on, or just too strong.

There’s a brief moment on the morning of the 12th of August where it goes glassy, calm wind, but the swell is only 0.7ft. That’s a lake, not a surf break. The energy is 12. It’s a tease. Then on the 13th and 14th, we get some clean offshore winds from the NE, but the swell is still tiny, 1ft to 2ft. The combined energy just creeps into the 40s, but it’s not enough to push a wave you can ride. The water temperature is about 65°F, which is pretty normal for the time of year, but that’s the only thing that’s average.

The second week is worse. The swell is basically flat, with heights of 1ft to 2ft, and the wind stays messy. There’s a bit of a blip on the 17th of August with 2ft swell and a gentle cross-shore, but it’s still weak (60 combined energy). The 18th of August has some rain showers and a fresh cross-offshore wind, but again, 1ft swell is just not enough.

So, what’s the best on offer? Honestly, there isn’t one. The only day that looks even remotely surfable in terms of conditions is the morning of the 12th of August, with glassy conditions, but there’s no wave. Without swell, it’s just a pretty pond. For a beginner at Le Kerou, this is a complete washout. The 4ft swell on the 4th would be too much for a beginner anyway, but it’s so messy it wouldn’t be fun for anyone. The whole 16-day period is a blank run. It’s a quiet spell for this spot, and you’re better off finding something else to do.

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.
