The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks at Le Kerou.
Right off the bat, I gotta tell ya, it’s a tough stretch. We’ve got a long, flat gap right through the first two weeks. From Monday the 3rd to Sunday the 16th of August, it’s pretty much a write-off. The swell is small, the wind is mostly junk, and we’re looking at a solid 14-day stretch of “poor surf conditions” with zero recommendations. You’d be wasting your time paddling out.
The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.
Things finally perk up, just a little, on Monday morning the 17th of August. We finally get a 1/10 recommendation, the only one in the whole run. It’s not a standout by any means, but it’s the best we’ve got. The swell is tiny at 3 ft from the W, with a short period of 8 seconds, so it’s weak, small, and localised – combined energy is only 107 (weak). But the magic is in the wind: we get a light breeze from the ENE going cross-offshore, leaving the surface clean. For a beginner-friendly spot like Le Kerou that’s exposed to the W, that’s your window. The crowds are listed as “sometimes” here, so you might have it fairly quiet.
After that, the Tuesday morning the 18th sees a bit more size at 3 ft but the wind swings to a cross-shore from the NW at 12 mph, bringing in a cross-chop and dropping the quality back to poor.
So, bottom line: there’s one morning to aim for – Monday the 17th of August – for a clean, tiny wave. The rest of the period is a bust. That’s the call.

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.
