The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about the next stretch at Le Kerou.
Honestly, you're in for a bit of a dry spell at the start. From Friday, August 14th all the way through to the 26th, there's almost nothing worth paddling out for. Swell is tiny and most afternoons get chopped up by onshore wind. A few mornings clean up a bit, but the waves are just too small to matter. It's a long, flat-to-poor run.
The one day that has me getting a bit excited is Thursday, August 27th. That's your target. We get a proper west swell, chest to head high, around 5 to 6 feet with a decent 9-10 second period. The wave energy is pumping, hitting 771 - that's a lot of power. And the wind? Thursday morning is clean with a light offshore breeze from the ENE, turning glassy in the afternoon. That means smooth, peeling waves at Le Kerou. This break is good for beginners, and at this size it's a perfect fun wave for everyone. The west swell is exactly what this spot wants to see.
The rest of the second week is more of the same afternoon onshores, with a couple of clean but much smaller mornings around the 28th, nothing like that 27th.
So here's the call: sit tight and wait for Thursday, August 27th. The water's sitting around 67°, a touch warmer than usual, so it's comfortable. That day will make the wait worth it.
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.
