The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ for Le Kerou.
Honestly, mate, this is a tough one. For the whole 16-day window, there’s not a single moment that’s worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny – we’re talkin’ 0.7 ft to 3 ft at best, with most of it sitting well under knee-high. The period is short, usually between 6 and 10 seconds, which means weak, crumbly waves without any punch. The combined energy is almost always in the double digits, like 87 (weak), and even the biggest reading on Monday afternoon the 3rd of August hits only 118 (moderate), but that’s paired with a fresh cross-onshore wind that’s choppin’ it all up.
The water temperature is around 66°F for the first entry, which is about average for the time of year, so no shock there.
There’s a short stretch from Thursday the 31st of July morning through Sunday the 2nd of August morning where the wind goes clean – offshore or cross-off – but the swell is just pathetic: 1.0 ft to 2 ft. It’s a lake out there. Then from Monday the 3rd of August afternoon, we see a tiny bump up to 3 ft, but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore from the WSW at 22 mph, makin’ it lumpy and horrible. The rest of the window is a mix of onshore, cross-on, and choppy conditions with no real energy.
There are no standouts here. The best you could say is that the glassy patch on Monday morning the 10th of August with 2 ft from the SW and a 6-second period is clean, but it’s barely a ripple. For a beginner, anything over 5 ft would be too big, but that’s not the problem here – there’s just not enough to ride.
Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, with the onshore wind and those small, weak waves. For a surfer, it’s a blank run. But it’s Le Kerou – it’s a fairly consistent spot, so this kind of flat spell isn’t the norm. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the boards in the shed.
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.
Le Kerou is 11 km (7 miles) from the city of Ploemeur. If you plan a holiday in Finistere - Brittany, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ploemeur. Ploemeur has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
