Table - best surf conditions forecast for Le Kerou over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what Le Kerou is cooking up for the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s pretty grim overall. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor conditions, with just one tiny moment that might get you wet.
We start on Wednesday, July 8th, and it’s a washout. The water temp is about 65°F, which is normal for this time of year, but that’s the only thing that’s normal. The swell is a tiny 2 ft from the west, but with a 9 mph cross-onshore wind, it’s choppy and messy. The energy is weak, at 48. Just leave the board at home.
Thursday, July 9th morning is our only real chance. The swell bumps up a little to 2 ft from the west, but the key is the 12 mph offshore wind from the northeast. That will clean it right up. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The energy is still weak (64). The wave period is short, at 9 seconds, so don’t expect any power. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, so if you’re learning the ropes, it might be worth a dawn paddle, but for everyone else, it’s just not that exciting. Crowds can sometimes show up here, so morning is your best bet.
After that, it’s a desert. From Thursday afternoon all the way through to Monday, July 22nd, it’s all “poor surf conditions” with tiny swell, onshore winds, and zero quality. There’s a gap of over a week with nothing worth talking about. The energy drops to single digits at points, showing how flat it gets. Find something else to do.
We do see some wave energy building right at the very end. On Wednesday, July 22nd, the swell height climbs to 4 ft from the west (with a period of 8 seconds), and the combined energy jumps to 157 – that’s moderate energy. But with a 19 mph cross-onshore wind from the west-southwest, it’s going to be a lumpy mess. It’s a beach setup, and with that strong onshore wind and some size, this looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Same story for Thursday, July 23rd, with 4 ft swell but onshore winds ruining the party.
So the honest truth? There’s no standout here. That Thursday morn is the only faint glimmer, but it’s nothing special. If you’re desperate, go have a splash. Otherwise, wait for the next system to roll through.
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.
