The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer at Le Kerou over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, for the first week and a bit, it’s a pretty flat and listless picture. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves that just aren’t going to get the heart pumping. From Thursday the 23rd of July right through until the end of the month, we’ve got swell heights hanging around a measly 0.7ft to 2ft. The combined energy is pitiful, mostly in the single digits or low double figures (8 to 61), and the wind is often cross or cross-on, messing up what little bump there is. There’s a brief moment on Monday morning the 27th where the wind goes glassy, which is a beautiful thing to see, but the swell is still only 3ft from the west with a period of 9 seconds. The problem is, the wave comment calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," so it’s not the standout we’re after. That’s just a quick tease of clean conditions on a small wave.
Then we hit a real rough patch. The 2nd of August (Sunday) sees a jump in the swell height and energy, with 4ft to 5ft and energy readings of 238 and 212, but it’s accompanied by a strong breeze onshore at 19 to 25 mph. That combo is a mess—it’s more of a kite surfing setup than a paddle surfing one. The conditions are described as "strong cross-onshore and messy," so you’d be fighting it all day.
The one true standout in this entire 16-day window is on Friday the 7th of August. Monday the 3rd has a bit of size but it’s onshore, so that’s no good. But the 7th of August—that’s the one to circle. We’ve got a clean, offshore wind from the NE at a light 6 mph. The swell is 3ft from the west, with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is a solid 130. For Le Kerou, a west swell is exactly what you want to see, and with that offshore wind, it’s going to be clean and lined up. The wave comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," but with the wind acting like that, it’ll be better than ordinary. This is a beginner-friendly break, and with that size and wind, it’s going to be a great little session. Just keep in mind this is a long-range call, so it’s promising but not locked in yet.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. There’s a gap of about 10 days with nothing worthwhile. The 2nd of August is too windy. The 3rd has onshore slop. Your best bet, your only real bet, is the morning of Friday the 7th of August. Get out there and enjoy it.
Rusty.

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.
