The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I'm looking down the barrel of the next couple of weeks for Le Kerou. Straight up, it's a grim run. There’s nothing worth paddling out for until at least the very end of the 16-day window, so don’t be holding your breath.
We start on the 15th of August with a tiny 3ft swell from the west, and while the morning has a light cross-off breeze, the wave energy is weak, sitting at just 82. The water’s a touch warmer than normal at 69°, but that’s about the only positive. The afternoon goes straight to trash with onshore winds, and honestly, from there it’s just one poor report after another for nearly two full weeks. We get small bumps of energy around the 20th and 21st where the combined energy spikes to 321 (moderate), and you’d think that might do something, but the swell’s still under 5ft and gets smashed by onshore winds.
There’s a brief glimmer on the morning of the 22nd of August – glassy conditions and a 2ft west swell – but it’s still tiny and the wave comment says it’s poor. The wind goes offshore on the morning of the 23rd, but the swell drops to 1ft from the WSW. It’s just not happening.
The only real chance of anything surfable comes right at the tail end of the outlook. On the morning of the 29th of August, we see a 1ft WSW swell with a fresh cross-off breeze from the ENE, keeping it clean. Then on the afternoon of the 29th, we get a proper offshore wind from the ENE and a 2ft west swell – the wave energy climbs to 51, which is still weak but the best we’ve seen in the second week. The 30th of August carries that theme too, with clean conditions and similar tiny west swells. For a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent spot like Le Kerou, this is a long, flat spell. It tends not to stay this poor forever, so keep checking back.

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.
