The Lowdown
Yo, Rusty here. Let’s be real about Le Kerou—the next couple weeks are a grind. The first week and a half is a total loss. Swell shows up, sure, but a nasty onshore and cross-onshore wind from the WSW and SW just tears it to pieces from day one, Friday the 28th of August. That first Saturday, the 29th, we get a 8ft (2.4m) swell with strong energy (623), but it’s paired with a 25 mph (40 km/h) onshore wind. It's a total mess, more of a kite session if anything. This blustery crap pattern sticks around right through the start of September, with nothing worth paddling out for.
There’s a tiny break in the clouds on Tuesday morning, September 1st. The wind goes glassy, and we get a small 3ft (0.9m) swell from the WSW. The energy is weak (138), and it's described as "very ordinary conditions," but it’ll be the cleanest thing you’ll see.
Then the swell drops off completely for a few days. It tries to come back on Friday the 4th of September with a longer-period groundswell (14 seconds). The size is only 3ft (0.9m) on Friday morning but energy picks up (389), and the afternoon gets to 4ft (1.3m) with 582 of energy. Problem is, the wind is still cross-onshore and choppy, so it never really comes together.
The best bet, if I had to pick one, is Sunday morning, the 6th of September. A tiny 2ft (0.7m) swell from the west, but the wind turns light and cross-offshore from the north at just 3 mph (5 km/h). The report calls it "clean" and surfable. It’s weak, small, and ordinary, but it’ll be the cleanest, most user-friendly wave of the whole 16 days.
Honestly, it’s a tough run. A couple of clean-ish windows, but otherwise it’s blown-out and messy or just flat. A rough outlook for Le Kerou.
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.
