The Lowdown
Rusty here again, looking at the same scene for Le Kerou but in feet and Fahrenheit. The water's about 66°, a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so that's something.
Right away, it's rough. Friday the 11th is a mess – cross-on 25 km/h winds with a choppy 4ft W swell. Don't even bother.
Saturday morning the 12th is your best early shot. It goes glassy with a light NW breeze at just 5 km/h, and the swell drops to 3ft from the west with an 8-second period. Combined energy is a weak 87. The waves will be small and clean, surfable but ordinary. It's a beginner-friendly size, and with clean conditions, it's a decent little session. Crowds can show up sometimes.
Sunday morning the 13th brings a bit more size, 3ft from the west with a longer 11-second period, and energy climbs into the moderate range at 248. The wind is a light cross-on though, which will put a bit of texture on the face. It's marginal.
Wednesday the 16th sees a jump to 4ft from the west, with a clean cross-off breeze from the NNW. The period is short at 8 seconds in the morning, but the energy is decent at 237. That afternoon it picks up to a 10-second period and energy hits 308. Those are the better windows that week, but still just marginal.
Now for the real standout. Wednesday the 23rd of September morning has 4ft of west swell with a very long 14-second period, and combined energy is strong at 480. That's proper groundswell energy. It’s going to be much better shaped and have some punch, but that long period might make it a bit straight at the beach. A clean cross-off breeze from the ENE adds to the appeal. This one’s the highlight of the run, promising but keep in mind it's a long-range call.
Thursday the 24th has a glassy morning with 3ft of west swell at a 12-second period. It's not going to be big, but with zero wind, it'll be clean and fun for a longboard or a mid-length. Energy is moderate at 169.
After that, things taper off into the last days. Saturday the 26th shows afternoon cross-on wind and lumpy 1ft junk. A clean morning on the 26th has only 1.0ft on offer. The run finishes flat.
Overall, the best on offer is Wednesday the 23rd morning if you can wait that long. The standouts for a clean, smaller wave are Saturday the 12th morning and Thursday the 24th morning.
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.
