The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Le Kerou.
We’ve got a short window of real fun this morning, Saturday the 5th. The swell is a solid 4 ft from the west, with a nice long 13-second period – that’s proper groundswell, packing moderate energy (466). The wind is light out of the east at 6 mph, cross-offshore, so the waves are going to be clean and lined up. For a beginner-friendly break like this, that’s as good as it gets. Go get it.
Now, the bad news. After this morning, the wheels fall off. From Saturday afternoon all the way through to the end of the forecast period on September 20th, it’s mostly poor. Strong onshores, smaller swell, and a lot of chop ruin the quality. There are a few mornings where it might be just about surfable – like Monday the 7th morning (4 ft, but cross-on wind), and a few others around the 12th, 13th, 15th, and 17th – but nothing you’d write home about. The swell drops off badly, and on many days the wind is straight onshore or cross-on, leaving the surface lumpy and messy. For a spot that’s usually fairly consistent, this is a tough run. If you can’t make it out this Saturday morning, you might be waiting a while – there’s nothing else on the horizon that qualifies as good.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts, and don’t force 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.
