The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Le Kerou over the next couple of weeks.

First thing’s first – I gotta be straight with you. This stretch is a tough one for paddle surfing. The water temp is sittin’ around 67°, which is just about normal for this time of year, so no shocks there. But the real story is the wind and the swell quality. For the next week and a half, we’ve got a whole lot of cross-on and onshore wind, making things lumpy and choppy. The few times the wind lays down, the swell is tiny. It’s a real bummer.

We’re lookin’ at a solid 10-day gap with no real recommendations. The first glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Sunday, August 30th, in the afternoon. We’ll finally see a shift to a cross-off breeze from the NNW at 12 mph, cleaning up a 5 ft swell from the WSW. The combined energy is moderate at 300, and it’s a clean window. It’s not a standout, but it’s the first sign of life.

Then, the real standout comes on Thursday, September 3rd, in the morning. The swell jumps up to 8 ft from the SW, with a combined energy of 844 – that’s strong energy. The wind is light from the WNW at 6 mph, so it’s just a light cross-on. Now, this is a big one. At 8 ft, it’s pushin’ into expert territory, and with a short period of 8 seconds, it’s gonna be a bit crumbly and peaky. Definitely not for the beginners – that’s a heavy paddle out.

But the absolute best of the whole forecast, the one you circle on the calendar, is Friday, September 4th, in the morning. The wind drops to glassy – a light 3 mph from the east – and the swell is a solid 5 ft from the WSW. The combined energy is 309, moderate but punchy. The surf report says "expect good surf conditions," and with that glassy surface, it’s gonna be the cleanest, most fun waves of the whole run. It’s a Friday morning, so crowds could be a factor, but it’s worth the early alarm.

So, hang in there. The first week is a write-off, but the second week has a couple of decent windows. The 4th of September morning is the one to chase.

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.
