The Lowdown
G'day, I'm Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough outlook. The entire 16-day window is a real struggle for surf. We're looking at Le Kerou, a beginner-friendly spot that's exposed to the west and fairly consistent, but the waves just aren't playing ball. The water temperature is sitting at 66°, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so no wetsuit surprises there.
The pattern is grim: small, weak, and messy. The combined swell energy is weak, barely scraping into the low hundreds at its best (like 229 on Wednesday afternoon, August 5th), but that's paired with a fresh cross-onshore breeze that turns it into lumpy, choppy junk. The swell is coming from the WSW, which isn't anywhere near the optimum west direction, and the period is short – around 7-8 seconds – so there's no real power or shape to work with.
The only glimmer of hope, and I'm stretching here, might be Friday morning, August 7th. We've got a glassy, clean surface with the wind barely a whisper from the NNW, and the swell is a tiny 1.0 ft from the WSW with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is a measly 25. It's tiny, but if you're a longboarder who just wants to sit out there, it's the cleanest window we get. Still, it's "poor surf conditions" across the board.
There's a big gap of days with nothing worthwhile. The whole first week is a write-off. Then, from around August 11th, we start seeing some offshore winds kicking in from the ENE, which is a positive sign. Mornings on the 12th, 13th, 14th, and 15th all show clean, offshore conditions, but the swell is stubbornly stuck at 1 ft to 2 ft, still from the west, with a period of 8-10 seconds. The combined energy stays weak, never breaking 100. It's clean, but there's just no swell to surf.
So, what's the verdict? Honestly, there's no standout. The best on offer is a tiny, clean, offshore morning around the 13th or 14th of August, but you're looking at knee-high waves at best. For most, it's not worth paddling out. The consistent lack of swell and the persistent cross-onshore winds in the first week mean this is more of a kitesurfing or windsurfing setup early on, if anything. For surfers, it's a blank run. Forecasts can change, but right now, it's a flat spell.
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.
