The Lowdown

Alright, listen up. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty slim for real surf, and honestly, for a while there it’s going to be a whole lot of nothing. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, wind-chopped conditions before anything with a pulse shows up. Hang tight, because it’s not all bad news, but you’ll need some patience.

The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t even arrive until Saturday, August 23rd. Before that, from now until the 22nd, it’s pretty grim. We’re looking at swell heights mostly under 3 feet, with a lot of onshore and cross-onshore winds messing things up. There are a few clean pockets early on, like Sunday the 9th and Monday the 10th in the morning with light offshore breezes, but there’s just no power behind the waves. It’s ankle-biters, really. The energy is weak too, with the combined swell energy only reaching into the double digits on most days, like 19 or 38, before occasionally popping into the low double digits like 81. All of it is just hinting at a lot of close-outs and mush.

There’s a small pulse mid-period, with the energy jumping to 223 on Thursday the 13th morning, pushing the swell to 3 feet, but the wind is cross-onshore and it’s going to be chopped up. Even when we get 4 feet on Sunday the 16th afternoon, the fresh cross-onshore wind ruins any chance of it being clean.

Now, that brings us to the one true standout. Saturday, August 23rd. The models are showing something much more interesting. Morning brings a 8 foot swell from the WNW at 10 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 1703. That’s a massive jump, and tells you there’s real power behind it. The wind is a cross-offshore from the NNW at 15 mph, which will keep it clean and lined up. This is the morning to be out there. It’s still not perfect—the period is a touch short for the size—but it’s as good as it gets in this stretch. This is for experienced surfers, as 8 feet is well past beginner territory. The afternoon backs off a bit to 6 feet, still with clean cross-offshore wind, and energy sits at 736. That’s still a solid session.

Before that, there’s not a single day I’d call a must-surf. We’ve got almost two full weeks of nothing, so if you see a clean day with a knee-high wave, you might get a couple of grovelly ones. But the 23rd is the day to circle. Water temp is a touch above average for this time of year at 66°F, so you won’t need the thickest suit, but it's not tropical either.

So, the plan: sit tight, watch the forecasts, and be ready to pull the trigger on the morning of the 23rd. It’s promising, but remember, it’s still a week and a half out, so don’t book the day off work just yet.

That’s all I’ve got. Keep your eyes on the horizon.

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.
