The Lowdown
Right off the bat, the surf is pretty gutless. We've got a run of small, weak, and messy conditions that'll have you checking your watch more than your board. The water's sitting at a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but that's about the only thing getting any love.
Tuesday arvo the swell's a dribbly 1ft with a short period, and a fresh cross-breeze is just chopping it all up. Forget it. Wednesday morning brings a bit more push to 5ft but the wind is mostly cross, so it's still marginal. The energy readings are all over the place, from a weak 91 to a moderate 327, but it's not really doing anything for us yet.
We've got a bit of a gap here with nothing really clean until Sunday the 20th. That morning, it's glassy with a clean 3ft, and the energy is up to 214. That's your first real chance to get a few grovelly ones. Then again on Monday the 21st, we get a light offshore with a clean 3ft at 13 seconds. Pretty fun for a small day. Tuesday the 22nd arvo goes completely glass, with a clean 3ft but a longer 17-second period. That one's got a bit of push for the size.
Now, the standout window is the 23rd. Wednesday morning is already looking clean with a cross-off and 4ft at 13 seconds. But the arvo is where it's at – a moderate offshore and clean with 4ft. That's the best quality wave of the whole stretch. Then we see the swell really start to kick in on the 26th, with 5ft of WSW groundswell, and energy climbing to 1240. It's a bit of a step up in size.
The real heavy hitter lands on Monday the 28th arvo. We're looking at 8ft of WSW swell with a 1513 energy reading and a light cross-off wind. The report flags it as excellent for experienced surfers, but at over 8ft, this is expert territory only. That's your big one for the period.
We'll get a little taste of that again on the 30th morning, with a clean 5ft and a light cross-off, but the energy is backing off. The afternoon dies as it goes onshore, so get on it early.
If you're heading to Le Kerou, don't expect much before the 23rd. The best call for a clean, fun wave is the 23rd arvo. The biggest and best looking is that Monday the 28th, but only if you've got the skills for a solid, powerful wave. The current is a constant factor there, and with these long-period swells, it might offer some protection, but it could also mess with the shape, so keep your wits about you.

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.

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.
