The Lowdown
Alright, I’m looking at the charts for the next couple of weeks and I gotta be straight with you – it’s flat. I mean, really flat. There's nothing that gets the heart pumping or makes you want to rush for your board. We’ve got a long stretch ahead with barely a ripple to get excited about.
We start off on Thursday, the 30th of July, and honestly, don’t even bother. Le Kerou is seeing tiny 2ft to 2ft of weak west swell, but the wind is a mess – gusty cross-onshore all day. The combined swell energy is weak (36 to 83), and the surface is choppy and lumpy. It’s not surfable. Friday the 31st isn't any better: a tiny 2ft to 2ft swell with awful afternoon onshores. Saturday morning, the 1st of August, gives us a few seconds of hope with a light offshore wind, but the swell drops to a pathetic 1.0ft from the WSW. The wave energy is next to nothing (34). You’d be floating around waiting for something that never comes.
This pattern of tiny, weak swell and messy wind just keeps going through the first week of August. We see some clean, offshore mornings on Sunday the 2nd and Friday the 7th, but the swell is still barely a knee-high wobble. The water temp is sitting at about 66°F, which is normal for this time of year, but there’s no energy in the water to make it worthwhile. The combined swell energy stays under 100 for almost every session. It's a grind.
Even the longer-range stuff into the second week isn't promising. There are moments on the 11th and 12th of August with clean offshore winds, but the swell stays miniscule, 1.0ft. The swell direction is from the WSW, but the period is short, so there’s no power. On Thursday the 14th of August, we finally see a slight bump in energy (a combined energy of 41 to 58), but it’s still only 2ft to 2ft and the wind turns onshore in the afternoon. It’s the most promising day in the whole run, which tells you how dire the outlook is.
Honestly, the whole 16-day window is a bust for decent waves. The break is inconsistent, and for this area, a blank run like this is pretty much standard when the swell shuts down. There’s just no surfable energy on offer. Keep the board in the car, but don’t bother driving.

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.
