The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s going on at Le Kerou.

Straight up, this is a tough stretch to get excited about. We’ve got a long, long gap of flat or junk surf ahead. For the next two weeks, through the end of July, the conditions are basically a write-off for any kind of decent paddle surfing. The water is sitting at 69°, which is a full 5° warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s much warmer than usual, so if you do get in, it’ll feel like a bath.

The first real blip of interest doesn’t show up until Thursday the 31st of July. For the morning and afternoon, we’ve got a 5ft swell coming from the W, with a period of 9 seconds. That’s a bit of a longer-period groundswell, which at a beach setup like Le Kerou can sometimes break a bit straight, but the energy is there. The combined energy of all swells directed here is strong, hitting 547 in the morning and 570 in the afternoon (strong wave energy). The wind is from the NNW at 12-16 mph, which is cross-offshore and will keep things clean. That’s the one and only standout in this whole outlook.

Everything else before that is just poor. Tiny waves, onshore junk, or cross-onshore chop. The swell barely gets above 2ft for most of the run, and when it does climb a bit on the 26th and 27th, the wind is straight onshore or cross-onshore, making a mess of it. The afternoon of the 25th sees a 4ft swell but with a short 5-second period and a fresh cross-onshore – that’s more of a kite-surfing situation than a surfing one.

So, mark your calendar for Thursday the 31st of July. It’s your best shot, but even then, it’s just marginal with some tide concerns. It’s been a dry spell, but forecasts can shift. For now, this is the only window worth keeping an eye on.

Stay patient, and keep the wax handy.

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.
