Table - best surf conditions forecast for Le Kerou over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about this stretch – it’s a tough read. The next 16 days are looking pretty bleak for Le Kerou. We’ve got a long, empty gap right at the start because there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. The first sign of anything half-decent doesn’t show up until Thursday, August 13th, after more than a week of flat, messy, or onshore junk.
The whole period is dominated by weak, short-period swell, mostly from the west or southwest, which isn’t ideal for this spot. The best you can hope for is a few hours of small, clean waves, but even then, the energy is barely there.
Let’s run through the two only sessions that scrape a mention.
Thursday, August 13th – Morning
We finally get a little pulse of life. The swell hangs around 2ft from the WSW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is weak, only 73 (moderate wave energy), but a light N wind at 10 mph makes it cross-offshore and clean. That’s the best wind we’ve seen in a week. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. For a beginner-friendly break, this is about as good as it gets in this window.
Friday, August 14th – Morning
Another small window, this time with 2ft from the WSW at 9 seconds. The energy is still weak at 103 (moderate wave energy). A NNW breeze at 6 mph keeps it cross-offshore and clean. Again, it’s surfable but nothing to get excited about.
The Standout?
Honestly, there isn’t one. The two mornings above are the best of a bad bunch. If you’re desperate, the Thursday morning (August 13th) is the pick, with cleaner conditions, but the swell is tiny. The long period of 9 seconds on Friday morning gives a slightly better shape, but the size is even smaller. Neither is a standout.
The Rest of the Garbage
The rest of the days are a write-off. Strong onshore winds, choppy conditions, or flat surf. The 15th of August has a weird spike of energy at 5ft (from the W) but the combined energy jumps to 438 (strong wave energy), which is totally wasted because the wind is onshore and the period is a short 8 seconds, making it a messy, blown-out mess. Not one for the beginner.
The Verdict
This is a classic blank run for the area. Don’t drive here. The water is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. The only good thing is the glassy mornings on the 7th, 12th, and 17th of August, but the swell is too small to ride. Keep an eye on the long-range forecasts, but for now, it’s a hard pass.
Rusty.

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.
