The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
The next 16 days are looking pretty quiet overall. There’s a lot of small, weak swell on the cards, and the wind is going to be a pain more often than not. If you’re desperate for a paddle, there are a handful of windows where it might just be worth it, but don’t expect any epic sessions.
The only break on offer is Le Kerou, a beginner-friendly spot that’s exposed to the west. The water is sitting at 67°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
We kick things off on Wednesday the 22nd of July, but honestly, it’s a no-go. The swell is a tiny 1.0ft from the west with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is a weak 17. The wind is cross-off in the morning, but the surf is just too poor to bother.
The entire week stays flat and weak. The swell barely hits 0.7ft to 1.0ft, and the period drops to 8 seconds or less. The combined energy is mostly in the single digits or low teens – that’s practically nothing. You’re looking at a long, dry gap until Sunday the 27th.
Sunday the 27th of July finally gives us something to talk about. The early morning is glassy, with a 3ft west swell at 9 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 129 (moderate). It’s surfable, but the conditions are still very ordinary. The afternoon gets ruined by a strong cross-onshore wind though.
Tuesday the 28th of July morning is another small window. Glassy conditions again, with a 2ft west swell and a combined energy of 61. It’s clean, but tiny. This is about as good as it gets for the first week.
The real standout of the entire forecast is Monday the 3rd of August. The morning brings a 4ft swell from the west-southwest, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy hits 188 (moderate). The wind is onshore, though, which is a real shame. The afternoon sees a 5ft swell from the west with a 10-second period, and the combined energy spikes to a massive 842 (strong to very strong wave energy). However, it’s accompanied by a strong onshore wind, making it a messy, powerful option only for experienced surfers.
If you’re looking for the best chance of a clean wave, Tuesday the 4th of August morning is your pick. The swell is 4ft from the west at 9 seconds, with a combined energy of 290 (moderate). The wind is a gentle cross-shore, keeping things reasonably clean. It’s a marginal call, but with the right tide, it’s the most promising session in the entire 16 days.
Remember, this is a beginner spot. Anything over 5ft starts to get too big for a learner, and the 5ft on the 3rd of August is definitely pushing into expert-only territory with that onshore wind.
That’s the lot. Not a classic run, but a few mornings to keep an eye on.
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.
