The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Le Kerou’s got cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with ya – this stretch is a total flat spell. We’re lookin’ at a full 16-day run where the surf just isn’t showin’ up. Every single day through to the 30th of July is marked as poor conditions, with waves barely ticklin’ 1 ft on the best days, and often just 0.7 ft. The combined swell energy is weak – mostly single-digit or low double-digit values (around 6 to 45), so there’s no push behind it at all. For a spot that’s normally fairly consistent, this is a quiet patch.
Now, Le Kerou is a beginner-friendly break that’s exposed to the west and does best with a west swell. But we’ve got hardly any west energy – mostly weak WSW or W pulses with short periods (7–11 seconds) – and when a little more height shows up near the end, like that 4 ft on the 28th afternoon, the period drops to a pathetic 5 seconds, and the wind is a messy cross-onshore with a fresh breeze. That’s more chop than wave.
Mornings sometimes have clean conditions with light offshore winds, but with no swell to work with, it’s just a glassy bathtub. The water is noticeably warm – about 69°F, which is 5°F above normal for this time of year – so at least you won’t be cold while you’re waitin’.
Bottom line: there ain’t a single standout session in this window. If you’re itchin’ to paddle out, you’re better off takin’ a rain check. The good news is a spot like Le Kerou that’s fairly consistent usually bounces back – forecasts can change, and this blank run isn’t the norm. Keep an eye on the charts, because when it does turn on, it’s a fun little wave for beginners.
Stay patient,
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.
