Table - best surf conditions forecast for Le Kerou over the next 16 days.
Alright, surf is gonna be a real struggle for a while. The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off, with a gap in decent waves from now until about the 21st of July. We're looking at small, weak swell and onshore winds almost every day. The combined energy barely cracks 100 until we get towards the end of the run. You’ll be scratching your head wondering where the ocean went.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on the morning of Monday, the 21st of July at Le Kerou. That morning, the ocean finally wakes up. We’ve got a clean, 5ft swell rolling in from the west, with a 9-second period. The combined energy jumps to 304 – that’s moderate but solid energy for this spot. The wind is light and cross-off from the ENE, so it’s gonna be glassy and clean. A light breeze and clean conditions. That’s your standout window. It won’t last though, as the wind swings onshore in the afternoon and messes it up.
The rest of the 16-day window after that is a mixed bag of small, choppy leftovers. The morning of the 26th has a pulse of 3ft from the west, but it’s accompanied by heavy rain and onshore wind, making it a total mess. The 27th looks like a kite-surfing session with strong winds and messy, lumpy conditions. Not for the paddle crew.
The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
One standout: Monday morning, 21st July at Le Kerou. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. It’s not big, but it’ll be the best you’ll see for a while.

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.
