The Lowdown
Yo, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening at Le Kerou in the next couple weeks.
First off, there’s nothing for a long stretch. From Monday the 10th right up to the morning of Sunday the 23rd, it’s mostly tiny or flat, with junk wind. Swell stays under a foot most days, and the energy is weak (combined energy in the 10 to 166 range). Even when the wind lays down, like the glassy morning on Friday the 21st, you’re only looking at 0.5m west swell at 10 seconds—barely rideable.
After that dry run, Monday the 24th morning shows a 1.2m southwest swell, period 6 seconds, with a light cross-offshore wind (10 km/h). It’s clean but not great, energy moderate at 131.
The real standout comes Tuesday morning the 25th. That’s when we get a 2.2m swell from the west-southwest, period 10 seconds, with glassy wind. That’s a powerful groundswell—combined energy at 932, strong. For Le Kerou, that period will give good shape without being too straight. It’s a big wave (over 2m), so it’s really for experts. The afternoon sees it drop to 1.8m but the wind goes cross-onshore, so the morning is the call.
Water temp is about 19°C, normal for the time of year. Crowds? Likely on that Tuesday morning, but for quality like that, it’s worth it.
Bottom line: save your energy for Tuesday morning, August 25th. The rest of the 16-day window is a bust.
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.
