The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be real – the next couple of weeks at Le Kerou are pretty darn slow. The water’s sitting around 67°F, which is dead normal for this time of year. But we’ve got a long stretch of nothing special.
Thursday 13th is total trash. A cross-onshore breeze and tiny 3ft waves – combined energy is only 163 (weak). Just chop.
Friday 14th morning gives you a little hope. A light cross-offshore breeze cleans up the 3ft west swell at 9 seconds. Energy is still weak at 106, but it’s rideable if you’re keen. Friday afternoon? Onshore junk again.
Saturday 15th morning is more of the same – 3ft, west, 8 seconds, light breeze. Clean but weak (energy 80). Saturday afternoon the wind turns onshore with a bump to 4ft (energy 227) – messy closeouts.
Sunday 16th morning has a light offshore wind, but the swell’s dropped to 2ft with an 8 second period. Energy is 41 – barely a ripple.
From Monday 17th through to Tuesday 25th, it’s a long, dry spell. The only real glimmer is Thursday 20th August. Thursday morning gives you 5ft from the west at 11 seconds, with a cross-offshore breeze and clean conditions. Energy jumps to 459 (moderate). Thursday afternoon the swell hits 6ft from the west-northwest at 10 seconds, energy 1113 (strong), but the wind is cross-onshore. It’ll be lumpy, but it’s the most power we see all outlook.
Friday 21st morning has a brief window of offshore wind and 3ft (energy 113) – clean but weak. After that, it’s all onshore wind and small, blown-out junk.
Tuesday 25th and Wednesday 26th get a bump to 5ft, but it’s straight onshore with short period (6-9 seconds). Chopped up and ugly. Energy Wednesday morning hits 597 (strong), but the wind ruins it.
Thursday 27th and Friday 28th push up to 7ft from the west-southwest, but it’s cross-onshore or onshore, period is short, and it’s lumpy. Energy is 418-600, so there’s push, but no shape.
If you kite surf, some of those onshore, choppy days with a bit of size might work. For paddle surfing, Thursday 20th August morning is your only real call. It’s the one standout – get it while it’s clean. Otherwise, save your energy.
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.
