The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here again. Let’s talk about Le Kerou in feet and inches. It’s a rough outlook, I’ll tell ya that right now. The wind and weather are just gonna make a mess of things for most of this 16-day run. Water temp’s about 65°F, which is dead average for the season, so no weirdness there.
We don’t get a real look until Tuesday, September 1st. The morning’s your best bet. We’ve got a glassy 3ft swell from the west with a 9-second period. The energy is weak, only about (165), so it’s not gonna have any punch. But with those glassy conditions, you could snag a few little peelers. It’s surfable, just barely. The afternoon turns to junk as the wind picks up cross-onshore.
From there, it’s a whole lot of nothing. Days of lumpy, choppy, and just plain poor surf. Monday the 7th of September shows a little promise in the afternoon. A light northerly breeze gives us clean, cross-off conditions on a 4ft west swell (9-second period, 263 energy). It’s only marginal, but the clean conditions are something.
After that, the swell just disappears. We get tiny, clean mornings on the 8th and 9th, but the waves are a pathetic 3ft and then 2ft. By the 10th, it’s practically flat. A spike on Friday the 11th to 5ft is just a blown-out, cross-onshore mess. Not worth paddling out.
The one true standout is that Tuesday morning, September 1st. A 3ft glassy west swell. It’s small and weak, but it’s the only clean surf in the whole forecast. The rest is a long, flat, and windy gap.
That’s the story. A tough run, but these things can change quick. Keep an eye on 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.
