The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Le Kerou over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the first few days are a bit of a write-off. Saturday the 6th through Sunday the 7th, the wind is messy and the surf is just not cooperating. You’ll see some swell pulse on Monday the 7th with waves hitting 4 ft from the WSW, but the cross-on wind is gonna chop it up good. That combined energy reading of 521 (moderate) tells you there’s some push, but it’s not gonna be clean. We’re basically waiting for a window.
That window starts to crack open late Tuesday the 8th. The afternoon sees the wind swing to a light NW cross-off, cleaning things up for some 3 ft waves from the west. The energy is still modest at 184, but it’s surfable. It’s not a stand-out, just a sign of life.
The real gem, and I mean the only true stand-out in this whole forecast, comes on Thursday the 10th of September. We get glassy conditions, a light SW breeze, and it’s the cleanest the setup will be. The swell is tiny at 2 ft from the west, so you’ll need a log or a fish, but it’s going to be smooth and fun. The combined energy is weak (65), but for a small-wave session, that’s fine. Everything else in the first week is either onshore, weak, or just plain ordinary.
Moving into the second week, the pattern is for small, clean waves, but nothing to get too excited about. Sunday the 13th sees a bit of a bump with a 3 ft west swell and a nice ENE offshore breeze at 12 mph in the morning. The energy is still weak (145), but it’ll be clean. The following days repeat the story: small, 2 ft to 3 ft waves from the west, with mostly offshore or glassy mornings. The stand-out in this stretch is Tuesday the 15th of September. The morning is clean with a 2 ft west swell and an ENE offshore, but the afternoon is where it’s at: glassy conditions, 2 ft west swell, and a longer period of 12 seconds. That’s the best quality you’ll see all week. The energy is still low (141), but it’ll be a lovely, clean little wave.
After that, we’re into a run of very small, clean mornings until the end of the forecast. Friday the 18th and Saturday the 19th both offer clean offshore mornings with 2 ft to 3 ft west swell. The combined energy never gets above 121, so it’s strictly small-wave territory. The crowds are listed as “sometimes” at Le Kerou, so expect a few other locals out on the cleanest days.
So, to sum it up: the best bet is Thursday the 10th for a glassy, tiny wave session. If you want a little more size but still clean, aim for Tuesday the 15th in the afternoon. The rest is a waiting game for small, clean windows. Don’t expect any big, powerful surf here in the 16-day window.
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.
