The Lowdown
Alright, looking at this forecast for Le Kerou. It’s a spot that faces west, and we’ve got a 16-day outlook. I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – the first couple of weeks are a tough slog. There’s a long stretch of poor surf, with the swell tiny and the wind just not cooperating. You’ll be looking at flat conditions from Saturday, July 25th, all the way through the start of August. There’s a bit of a pulse around the 27th with some energy, but the wind is wrong, and the waves are small and messy. It’s just not worth it.
The water is at 19°, running a touch warmer than usual for the season, so you won’t need a thick suit.
Things start to stir around the 5th of August, but it’s still choppy and onshore. Thursday the 6th gives a marginal look with a 1.1m west swell, but the wind is still cross-on. It’s not enough to get excited about.
The one day that stands out, the only real highlight, is Sunday, August 9th. The morning session is the one. We’re looking at a solid 2.3m swell from the southwest, with an 8-second period. The energy is strong (636). The wind will be light from the north, making it cross-offshore and clean. The forecast says “expect very good surf conditions.” That’s your window. The afternoon gets ruined by a fresh cross-on wind, so you’ve got to be in the water early.
So, a long wait for a short, sweet window. That Sunday morning is the call. Don’t miss it.
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.
