The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, and I've gotta be straight with you – for the next 16 days at Le Kerou (France), it's a pretty grim stretch. The water's sitting at about 66°F, which is about normal for this time of year, but that's about the only thing that's average. The first week and a half is a write-off, with a long gap of poor surf conditions from the start right through until the morning of Thursday, August 14th.
The only real standout comes on the morning of Saturday, August 15th. That's when we get a bit of a glimpse of what could be. The swell is 5 ft from the W, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy of all swells directed here hits 636 (moderate wave energy), and more importantly, the wind is glassy – a light SE breeze at 3 mph. That means it'll be clean and smooth, with some decent shape. The size is a bit much for beginners, but it's a solid option for anyone with a bit of experience. The W swell direction is a good match for the break's optimum swell from the W, so it should wrap in nicely. Crowds are sometimes an issue here, so you might have a few mates out, but it's worth it.
Other than that, the morning of Friday, August 14th, is the only other time you might paddle out, with a 5 ft WSW swell and a moderate ENE offshore breeze at 12 mph. The combined energy is 266 (moderate), and while it's not a total disaster, the conditions are still just "expect good surf conditions" – not "very good" like the 15th. The morning of Thursday, August 13th, has a clean-offshore NE breeze and 1 ft swell, but it's too small to get excited about. The rest of the days are plagued by onshore winds, crummy periods, and weak energy, with the occasional bigger swell turning into a messy, choppy mess.
Honestly, if you're looking for a surf, pencil in the morning of Saturday, August 15th. Everything else is a miss. The place is consistent, so it's not usually this bad, but this forecast is lean. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, that Saturday morning is your best bet.
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.
