Grab a coffee and listen up. This is a tough stretch for us. I'm looking at the Le Kerou forecast and, honestly, for most of the coming two weeks, it's a write-off. We’ve got a long gap of nothing worth paddling out for.

We’re starting off flat. From Sunday the 12th all the way through to the morning of Tuesday the 21st, it’s just poor conditions. We’re looking at tiny, weak swells, mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. There’s a little bump of energy on the 16th and 17th with some 4ft to 5ft swell, but the wind is all wrong – onshore and choppy.

Then, on the morning of Tuesday the 21st, things finally shift. The wind goes light and offshore from the northeast, and the wave comment flips to “surfable.” It’s not huge – 3ft of west swell – but it’ll be clean. That’s the first real chance we’ve had in over a week.

Wednesday the 22nd morning is similar, with a light, cross-offshore breeze from the north and a 4ft west swell. It won't be epic, but after all that nothing, it’s a welcome sight.

Now, here’s the standout. Thursday the 23rd. I’m getting excited just looking at it. Morning brings a solid 6ft swell from the WNW with a nice 11-second period. That long period groundswell is going to have some real push, and it'll be best on the points and reefs. The wind is light and cross from the northwest, so it should be clean. Then into the afternoon, the swell kicks up to 7ft from the WNW, period drops to 10 seconds, but the wind goes cross-off from the NNW. It’s big, it’s clean, and it’s got power. This is the one to circle on your calendar. That 7ft is into expert territory, so this isn’t a beginner’s day.

After that, the swell fades fast. Friday the 24th is back to small, messy leftovers, and the second weekend looks flattened out again with cross-offshore winds but barely any size.

Water temp on the 12th was 67°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Not a game-changer, but a nice little bonus if you’re in the water on that Thursday standout.

So, to sum it up: don’t bother for the first nine days. Your best bet, the real standout, is Thursday the 23rd of July at Le Kerou. Expect 6ft to 7ft of west-northwest swell, clean light winds, and serious power. That’s the one.

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.
