The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about Le Kerou in feet and miles per hour, ‘cause that’s how we feel it.
It’s a grim run for the next week and a half. The water’s at 66°, right where it should be for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s normal. The waves are mostly ankle-to-knee high junk, with onshore wind ruining any chance of a proper ride. For over a week, the swell stays under 2 ft, and the wave energy is pathetically low.
Tuesday morning the 11th gives us a 1 ft swell with a 15 mph cross-off breeze, but it’s just a tease. Thursday and Friday the 14th and 15th see slightly bigger 2 ft swells, but the wind is all over the place – mostly onshore by afternoon. Friday morning the 14th has a light 10 mph cross-off from the NNW on a 2 ft WSW swell, making it clean but still weak. It’s rideable for a log, but nothing special.
The real standout – and the only session I’d mark on the calendar – is Friday morning, August 21st, over a week away. That one shows a 4 ft west swell with a 9-second period and a light 9 mph cross-off from the ESE. The combined energy jumps to 295, which is the strongest we see in the whole 16 days. It’ll be clean and fun for all levels. Don’t expect it to be perfect, but it’s the best you’re gonna get.
Everything after that goes downhill again – onshore winds, smaller swell, and lumpy conditions. Save your energy for that Friday the 21st morning.
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.
