Alright, let’s translate that for the imperial crew. Rusty here, and I’m not sugar-coating it.
The next couple of weeks are looking dead flat and pretty ordinary. We’ve got a long stretch ahead with barely a ripple. The first real surf worth talking about is a little ways off, so we’re in for a dry spell.
At Le Kerou, it’s a tough watch. Water temp is 65°F, which is about average for this time of year, nothing weird. But the swell? Barely there. Thursday morning, July 9th, is the best of a bad bunch. We’ve got a clean 2ft swell from the west, with a 9-second period, and a nice cross-off wind from the ENE at 9 mph. Wave energy is weak (64), so it’s tiny, but for a beginner spot, it’s surfable and clean. If you’re learning, this is your window. After that, it’s all onshore wind and chop.
From Thursday afternoon onward, it’s a mess. July 10th has a similar tiny swell, but the wind messes it up. The 11th and 12th are even smaller, with the swell dropping to 1ft or 1ft. The wind stays mostly cross-off or onshore, but there’s just no energy – the combined energy falls to 15 or 13 on those days. It’s basically a lake.
The 13th of July to the 24th of July? A long, flat run. Swell heights barely reach 1ft, periods are short, and the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore. The energy is low, often in the double digits. There’s a brief pulse on the 24th of July, with the swell picking up to 3ft from the west, but the wind is straight onshore from the west at 6 mph in the morning, then 19 mph in the afternoon. It’s lumpy and messy. Not worth paddling out for.
So, the standout here? It’s Thursday morning, July 9th. That’s it. One clean session with tiny, clean waves for the beginners. The rest of the 16-day window is a write-off. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your shot. Otherwise, leave the board in the car and wait for a better forecast.
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.

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.
