The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what Le Kerou has on offer over the next couple of weeks. It's been a quiet start, but I can see a couple of windows opening up.
Right now the water temp is sitting pretty average for this time of year, nothing to write home about. The immediate outlook is a bit of a struggle. We've got small, messy swell with onshore winds all through the end of July and into the first week of August. Swell energy is weak, around (162) dropping to (21). Honestly, those first ten days or so are a write-off – mostly poor conditions and onshore wind.
Now, the first sign of life shows up on the morning of Saturday, August 8th. A clean, glassy morning with a light breeze and some 2ft west swell. The energy's still low at (70), so it's nothing to get excited about, but the offshore-off wind direction will make it clean and rideable.
But the real standout, the one to circle on your calendar, is the morning of Sunday, August 9th. We're looking at a solid 8ft west swell, and the combined energy is pumping at (1305). That's a lot of juice. Now, the period is around 8 seconds, so it isn't a long-period groundswell, but it's a big push of wind swell. The wind direction is cross-shore from the southeast, which will keep it fairly clean, though a slight cross-chop will be there. That size is expert-only territory – way too big for beginners, but if you've got the skills, this is the best window of the whole forecast. The break itself is fairly consistent, so you know it'll be running.
After that, the surf drops back down again through the following week.
Signing off, 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.
