The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: Le Kerou is looking at a pretty bleak stretch ahead. There’s a massive gap in the action right now, with nothing worth paddling out for from Tuesday the 21st of July all the way through to the end of the month. That’s a solid ten days of tiny, weak swell and mostly poor conditions. Don’t bother checking the cams, it’s a write-off.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Monday the 27th of July. Early morning, the wind drops to a glassy calm (0 km/h), and we’ve got a 3ft swell rolling in from the west at 9 seconds. The combined energy is weak, sitting at 102 (102). The water is a balmy 68°F, which is a whopping 4° warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s a fair bit toastier than normal. It’s surfable, but the conditions are just very ordinary – not a standout, but it’s the only window of clean, glassy waves in the whole forecast. The swell is small, so it’s a good one for beginners.
After that, it’s back to the doldrums until the 31st of July. The 31st of July Friday morning shows a bit of a pulse: a 3ft swell from the southwest (6 seconds) with a moderate offshore breeze from the NNE at 19 mph. The energy is still weak at 89 (89), and it’s described as surfable but very ordinary. That’s about as good as it gets.
Then we get a little more interesting on the 2nd of August, Sunday morning. There’s a 4ft swell from the west (7 seconds) with clean conditions and a cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy jumps to 282 (282), which is a solid moderate push. This is the best on offer in the whole 16-day window. The swell is still under 5ft, so it’s manageable for intermediate surfers, but the short period means it’ll be a bit lumpy and won’t have that proper groundswell punch. It’s a long-range call, so take it with a grain of salt, but it’s the only real standout.
The rest of the second week is mostly tiny, with weak energy and onshore winds. The 3rd of August Monday morning has a clean 2ft swell, but it’s just too small to get excited about.
So, the long and short of it: if you’re desperate, hit it on Monday the 27th for the glassy morning, or keep your eyes on Sunday the 2nd of August morning for the best chance of a decent wave. Otherwise, it’s a long, quiet spell 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.
