The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee, mate. Rusty here. I’ve been staring at the charts for Le Kerou and, to be blunt, there’s bugger all on offer for the next 16 days. The whole window is a write-off for decent surf. The break itself is a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent normally, exposed to westerly swell, but this stretch is just one long flat spell with tiny, weak waves and poor conditions. The water temp is sitting around 69°F, which is about 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year – so at least you won’t freeze if you paddle out for a splash.
From Sunday 19 July through to Monday 3 August, every single session is marked “poor surf conditions.” The swell heights are tiny – mostly 0.7ft to 1.0ft, occasionally hitting 2.3ft or 4.3ft on Monday 27 July and Tuesday 28 July, but even then the wind and quality are rubbish. The combined energy values are pathetic for most days – single or double digits – except for a brief spike on Monday 27 July morning (400) and Tuesday 28 afternoon (537), but that’s still only moderate energy and the “poor surf conditions” label stays. The wind is often cross-off or cross-on, never clean offshore for long. On Thursday 23 July morning there’s a glassy window with 0.7ft swell from WSW, period 9s – that’s about as good as it gets, which is saying something. But it’s still tiny.
The only real bump comes on Monday 27 July and Tuesday 28 July, with swell heights around 3.3ft to 4.9ft from WNW, period 9s. That’s a bit more size, but the wind is cross-off or cross-shore, and the break is a beach setup – a long-period swell (9s isn’t really long period, but 11s appears later) wouldn’t be ideal here anyway. The scores are 0 or 1 out of 10, so I can’t in good conscience recommend any of it. If you’re a kite surfer, the stronger wind days like Saturday 25 July afternoon (16 mph onshore) or Saturday 1 August afternoon (19 mph cross-on) might be more interesting, but for paddle surfing it’s a no-go.
This is a blank run – unusual for a spot that’s fairly consistent, but it happens. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye out, but for now, save the wax.

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.
