The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what we've got on the cards for Le Kerou. Gotta be straight with you, it's a bit of a quiet spell ahead.
The long-range picture is pretty uninspiring, I won't lie. For a spot that's exposed to a west swell, we're just not seeing the push we need. The good news? If you're a beginner or just want a paddle in clean conditions, there might be a window to get wet, but for anyone looking for a proper wave, you're going to be waiting a while.
Looking at the next couple of weeks, there's a big ol' gap of nothing worthwhile. The first half of the forecast is mostly small, weak dribble with onshore winds messing things up. You get a bit of a spike in wave energy around August 8th and 9th, with the combined energy hitting 122 and 190, but that's paired with fresh onshore or cross-onshore winds, so it'll be a lumpy, choppy mess and frankly, more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The real standout, and I mean the *only* standout in this whole 16-day window, is Monday afternoon, August 3rd. Check this out: the wind drops to nothing – glassy conditions. The swell is small, only 2 ft from the west, but with that glassy surface and a light cross-offshore breeze earlier in the day, if you can get on it, it'll be as clean as a whistle. For a beginner, that's a dream. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 68°, which is nice. But don't expect any power; the combined energy is a weak 41. It's not going to be epic, just clean and cruisy. The rest of the period? Honestly, save your wax.
So, for the whole 16-day run, you've got one Monday afternoon that might be worth a look for a longboard or a foamie. Everything else is either too small, too windy, or both. It's a tough run for Le Kerou this time.
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.
