G’day, Rusty here, lookin’ at the Le Kerou stretch. Well, I gotta be straight with ya – the next week and a half is a bit of a fizzer for surf. The first proper recommendation doesn’t come until Monday the 28th of July, and even then it’s a marginal call. So we’re lookin’ at a solid 15-day gap of nothin’ worth paddlin’ out for.
Finally, on Monday morning the 28th of July, the island wakes up to a solid 8ft swell out of the WNW, with a period of 10 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, and the combined energy is a meaty 1,646 – that’s strong wave energy. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore from the W at 9 mph, which ain’t perfect but it’s not howlin’. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 67°. This is a big, powerful swell – over 8ft – so it’s strictly for the experienced crew. The short period on the earlier days is gone, and you’ll feel the grunt. The break is Le Kerou, and it’s a fairly consistent spot that’s exposed to W swells, so it’ll cop the brunt of it. The afternoon drops a touch to 7ft out of the W with a 12-second period, which is even longer and cleaner in theory, but the wind swings onshore, freshenin’ from the WSW, makin’ it choppy. The morning window is the pick of the whole 16 days, but don’t expect perfection – it’s a marginal call with lumpy conditions.
Other than that, there’s nothin’ doin’. The small stuff early on is just too weak and blown out to bother with. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, a blank run like this is pretty normal for the area – it’s one of those spells where you just wait for a better pulse.
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.
