The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at the waves ahead.
The next stretch is a bit of a slow burn. There’s a bump of energy early on, but it’s not going to be pretty. Wednesday morning kicks things off with a 4ft west-southwest swell, but the northwest wind is putting some chop on it, so it’s not going to be clean. The energy is moderate, reading 464, but that wind is the spoiler. Wednesday afternoon is a tick bigger, 5ft from the west, but the cross-shore wind keeps it messy. Not the day to get excited about.
Thursday and Friday, the swell drops off in size but the wind really turns against us. We’re looking at small, weak surf with onshore winds both days. Honestly, it’s flat and blown out. Don't even bother waxing up.
Saturday morning is where my ears perk up a little. The swell is down to around 2ft from the west, but the wind goes glassy. It’s not big, and it's a bit ordinary, but the clean conditions could make it fun for a beginner or a longboard. The energy is weak at 87, so it’s not going to hold much power. By Saturday afternoon, the wind is back onshore and it’s done.
Sunday morning brings a touch more hope. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the west with an 11-second period, so there’s a bit more push in it. The wind is light and cross-onshore though, which will keep it from being perfect. It’s marginal, but you could find a corner if you’re keen. The energy is moderate at 248.
After that, the surf goes quiet for a while. There’s a long gap, with only small, poor, onshore-slanted waves for nearly a week. You’re looking at days and days of nothing but knee-high slop and choppy conditions. It's one of those blank runs that makes you wonder why you live near the ocean.
But then, things start to change. On the morning of the 19th, the wind goes offshore from the east-northeast. It’s still small, around 3ft from the west, but the combination of clean, gentle offshore wind and a better period at 11 seconds bumps the energy up to 343. This looks like the first real window of decent surf. It’s not a standout, but it’s the cleanest surf we’ve had in a week. Don’t expect fireworks, just a clean little wave at Le Kerou (Lekerou).
That’s about it for the good stuff in the near term. The week after that is grim again, with small surf and mainly onshore winds. The mornings see some clean conditions, but there’s just no swell.
Finally, way out there on the morning of September 23rd, we get a very interesting blip. The swell is only 3ft from the west-southwest, but the period jumps to a very long 16 seconds. That’s pure groundswell energy. The wind is offshore and light, so the surface is going to be clean. The energy reads 326, which is solid for that size. This is a promising, long-range call. It’s a long way out, so don’t book the week off yet, but this is the one to keep an eye on. That long period swell will be more at home at a point or reef break, rather than a beach, so Le Kerou might be a bit too straight. Still, it’s the most interesting thing on the horizon.
So, to sum it up: we grind through some proper junk for a few days, get a couple of clean but small windows, and then have a very promising, but distant, day on the 23rd. Hang tight, keep the board waxed for that far-off window.

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.
